When you think of fast-growing coffee concepts in America, 7 Brew is at the top of the list. Recently featured in QSR Magazine 7 Brew’s explosive expansion is redefining the drive-thru coffee experience. With over 300 locations and ambitious plans to reach thousands more, scalability isn’t just a goal it’s a necessity.

At Gratuity Solutions, we recognized early on that supporting this kind of growth required more than a 'one size fits all' approach. That’s why we developed custom system integrations tailored to 7 Brew’s operational needs, ensuring both corporate and franchise owners could scale effectively without sacrificing efficiency or employee satisfaction.

The Challenge: Scaling Without Complexity

As 7 Brew expanded, managing payroll, tips, and compliance across hundreds of locations became increasingly complex. Franchise owners needed a solution that was:

  • Consistent across all units with the ability to customize setup for state compliance requirements
  • Integrated with existing POS and payroll systems
  • Flexible enough to accommodate rapid onboarding and future growth

Our Solution: Seamless Integration for Operational Excellence

Gratuity Solutions delivered a comprehensive solution through PayDayPortal, designed to automate:

  • Tip Calculation & Distribution - Real-time allocation of credit card and cash tips based on POS sales and labor data
  • Payroll Synchronization - Smooth integration with various payroll providers
  • Digital Payout Options - Empowering employees with faster access to earnings via pay cards and direct to bank tip outs

These integrations eliminated manual processes, reduced errors, and provided franchise owners with a scalable, cost-effective model.

The Impact: Efficiency, Satisfaction, and Growth

Since implementing Gratuity Solutions:

  • Operational Efficiency skyrocketed with automated workflows replacing manual calculations.
  • Employee Satisfaction improved thanks to accurate tip distribution and earnings visibility.
  • Scalability became a reality our platform now supports 7 Brew’s aggressive expansion plans, including onboarding new franchisees with minimal friction.

As one of the most compelling growth stories in the U.S., 7 Brew exemplifies how technology partnerships can fuel success. At Gratuity Solutions, we’re proud to play a role in their journey helping them brew not just coffee, but a future of operational excellence.
