EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
SurePayroll Delivers
for Vibe Restaurants
Vibe Restaurants with 34 franchises and nearly 1,000 employees in six states
experienced payroll growing pains. To find an easy, accurate and efficient way to handle
payroll and payroll taxes for its employees in light of ever-changing tax regulations in
multiple states, Vibe turned to SurePayroll, a Paychex company. SurePayroll’s Franchise
Management Portal allows Vibe Restaurants instant access and the ability to manage
payroll for all locations with just one secure login.
Meet Vibe Restaurants
Founded in 2005 as the franchisee for seven Little
Caesar’s restaurants, Vibe Restaurants has grown to
34 franchises under the leadership of Shalin Patel,
who succeeded his father in management of the company. Vibe Restaurants manages 33 Little Caesar’s
pizzerias and one Which Wich restaurant.
The Challenge: Dream Growth Creates
Potential Payroll Nightmare
While its success has been a dream come true, managing payroll for all of Vibe’s businesses had been
more like a nightmare. Vibe Restaurants realized
that QuickBooks, which the company had been using, was not nearly robust enough to meet its needs.
Vibe needed:
(1) To find a way to efficiently handle payroll for
the wide scope of their operations
(2) To ensure that they were keeping up with
various and ever changing tax regulations, payroll
schedules filing and reporting deadlines
(3) To find an efficient way to manage all the reporting and record keeping for their dozens of locations.
SurePayroll is the Right Fit
Vibe Restaurants signed on with SurePayroll in April
2012. SurePayroll’s franchise-friendly online product
proved to be the right fit as it could provide:
(1) Secure single login to Franchise Management Portal which provides Turnkey view, access,
and management.
(2) A nationally renowned platform which pays
and files local, state and federal taxes in all 50 states.
(3) An award-winning US-based customer care

team backed by 40 years of payroll experience.
