Technology and human expertise working together to ensure every minute counts
This QSR chain was hemorrhaging money through false overtime claims. Labor costs were 35% of revenue—far above the 25% target. Employees were clocking in early, taking extended breaks, and buddy punching was rampant. One location had 18 hours of daily overtime that couldn't be explained by actual business needs.
DohShield's AI revealed shocking patterns: employees were clocking in 30 minutes early to sit in break rooms, adding 2.5 hours weekly in false overtime. Night shift workers were buddy punching for entire ghost shifts. Managers were approving overtime for favorites while denying it for others, creating a toxic culture.
