1The Hiring Stack

Everything you're doing by hand,
and what replaces it.

The average franchise location spends 11 hours processing a single new hire. Onboard collapses that to under 45 minutes โ€” without touching a single paper form.

2Compliance & Documentation

The forms that expire at midnight.
Onboard watches them for you.

Operations directors at 50-location brands tell us the same thing: they find out about expired I-9s when the DOL shows up, not before. Onboard inverts that entirely.

"We had 14 locations with expired I-9s. We didn't find out until an audit. Onboard would have caught all 14 โ€” 60 days earlier."

โ€” Marcus Webb, VP Operations, Brightline Home Services (38 locations)

3Scheduling & Payroll

Stop reconciling 12 spreadsheets.
One dashboard. All locations.

Franchise owners scaling past 10 locations tell us payroll reconciliation alone takes a full business day every two weeks. Onboard reduces that to 6 minutes.
