The Reality on the Floor

Running a restaurant is hard enough.
HR shouldn’t be a $200,000 blind spot.

Kitchen and floor staff don’t have corporate emails and won’t download HR apps—leaving managers stuck chasing paper.

25%1

The Training Failure

Hospitality generates the highest share of U.S. sexual harassment claims because managers can’t track paper training across high-turnover staff.

2x2

The HR Gap

Restaurant employment lawsuits have doubled over the last decade as operators are left to navigate state compliance laws without dedicated HR.

The Liability Trap

Defending a single harassment, wage, or wrongful termination claim averages $150,000 to $200,000—wiping out years of restaurant profit.

How GRAT Works

Meet your team where they already are: their text messages.

Zero apps. Zero passwords. GRAT texts staff in their preferred language and follows up automatically until it’s done.

1. Day-One Onboarding & Quality Filter

Signed Before Shift 1

New hires sign W-4s, I-9s, and handbooks via SMS in English, Spanish, or Tagalog—weeding out flaky “ghost hires” before you waste paid training hours.

2. Mandatory Trainings & Certs

Harassment & Food Handler Tracking

Send state-mandated courses over SMS or collect photo uploads of existing cards. GRAT tracks expirations and texts renewal reminders automatically.

3. Shift Readiness & AI Q&A

Binary “Green Light” Dashboard

Green means cleared for shift; Red means overdue. Meanwhile, staff text the AI 24/7 with questions about your handbook and policies.

4. Write-Ups & Offboarding Shield

Write-Ups & Audit Receipts

Issue progressive write-ups in seconds and capture SMS e-signatures—generating a single-page, print-ready Compliance Audit Receipt.

Why Existing Tools Fall Short

“I already use payroll and scheduling. Why GRAT?”

Payroll and scheduling tools run paychecks and shift calendars—leaving daily compliance and floor documentation wide open.

Payroll & Back-Office ERPs

Gusto, ADP, Restaurant365

Built for accounting and tax withholdings. They don’t text cooks when Food Handler cards expire or document write-ups on the floor.

Shift Scheduling Apps

7shifts, Homebase

Built for shift swaps and time clocks. Their HR add-ons are passive filing cabinets requiring app downloads and static English PDFs.

The Active SMS Layer

GRAT AI Assistant

Works alongside your POS and payroll. Chases staff over native SMS until onboarding, trainings, and write-ups are 100% signed.

Built by a Restaurateur  •  Retention Through Standards

Great staff don’t quit tough kitchens—they quit chaotic ones.

Built by a former 7-year South Bay brewhouse owner, GRAT sets clear expectations from Day 1—weeding out flaky “2-day ghost hires” before you waste training payroll and building a structured workplace where your best people stay longer.
