One bench. Every store.
When you operate 2–20 locations, the opportunity isn't just filling shifts — it's utilizing the capacity you already own. Armada gives your group a shared W-2 bench across every store, pay bands enforced from HQ, and the visibility to deploy your people where the demand is.
Shared bench, multi-unit
One bench. Every restaurant you run.
The closer at Buckhead picks up Saturday at Westside. Same W-2 record, same payroll, same standards. Your best people stop being trapped at one location — and your fill rate stops depending on which GM has the best phone tree.
Workers travel between locations on the same W-2. HQ sees one roster, one bill, one show rate.

The multi-unit problem
When labor isn't standardized, neither is your P&L.
Every GM staffs differently
Store 3 over-pays line cooks by $4/hr. Store 7 staffs Saturdays light. You find out at month-end when P&L lands.
Workers stuck at one store
Your best closer at Store 1 has no path to pick up a Saturday at Store 4 — even though the manager would take them in a heartbeat.
Agency contracts per location
Six stores, four agencies, three rate cards. Procurement migraine and zero leverage.
Infrastructure prevents guesswork.
Without shared systems, you're stuck piecing together reports. You need the actual show rate, by role, by store, by week — automatically.
What multi-unit unlocks
Control at HQ. Speed at the store.
Shared bench across stores
Workers can be invited to multiple store benches. The closer at Store 1 picks up Store 4's Saturday — same W-2 record, same payroll.
Pay bands enforced from HQ
Set role minimums and maximums at the group level. GMs can't post a $24/hr line cook shift if your band caps at $22.
Role + cert templates per concept
Build one shift template per concept (fast-casual, fine-dining, bar program). Roll it out to every location in two clicks.
Group-level reporting
Show rate, fill time, cost per filled hour, and overtime exposure — sliced by store, by role, by week. Export to your BI tool.

Standardize before you scale to twenty.
Utilize the capacity you already own. One shared bench across every store means higher asset utilization, less idle labor, and a clearer path to the next location.
