Turning Costs into Savings with OneClick

Running a Chick-fil-A® restaurant is rewarding, but every leader knows the hidden costs that quietly eat away at margins. Time lost to inefficient scheduling. Hours wasted chasing training updates. Compliance risks with team-member breaks. And the endless expense of juggling multiple apps.

Individually, these challenges may seem small. But together, they add up to thousands of dollars and dozens of hours every month. That’s why more Chick-fil-A® ^leaders are discovering that OneClick isn’t just a productivity tool — it’s an ROI engine.

The Hidden Costs Leaders Face

Every restaurant carries operational “taxes” that don’t show up on paper but directly impact both profitability and culture. Manual scheduling and setups drain hours of leader time. Training progress gets tracked inconsistently, leaving managers chasing notes and spreadsheets. Breaks go unmonitored, costing productivity and sometimes fines. And subscriptions to overlapping apps like Jolt, Trello, and messaging tools pile up.

On their own, these inefficiencies are frustrating. Together, they create a significant drag on growth.

Where OneClick Delivers Savings

Survey data from leaders who adopted OneClick shows just how much time and money can be reclaimed.

Take scheduling and setups: before OneClick, leaders spent an average of 35 minutes per setup. With drag-and-drop lineups and reusable templates, that time dropped to about 12 minutes. The result is a 67% reduction in effort and a savings of roughly $361 per month.

The same pattern shows up in training administration. Leaders once dedicated nearly nine hours a week to tracking training progress. With OneClick’s Training Passports, that number is cut in half — saving more than $475 per month in labor costs, while giving leaders real-time visibility into who’s “shift ready.”

Even break management plays a role. Some restaurants reported losing 30+ hours per week in productivity due to untracked or mismanaged breaks. With OneClick’s built-in timers and compliance tools, leaders recover this lost time and avoid costly violations.

And then there’s the expense of multiple software tools. On average, OneClick replaces $166 per month in subscriptions by consolidating scheduling, checklists, accountability, communication, and recognition into one platform.ey stay longer. That’s why OneClick leaders are seeing measurable drops in turnover.

ROI That Adds Up

When you combine the savings from scheduling, training, software, and compliance, the results are clear:

• $361 per month from faster setups.
• $475 per month from streamlined training.
• $166 per month from software consolidation.
  

That’s more than $1,000 in monthly savings — over $12,000 a year for a single restaurant. And that doesn’t even account for additional gains from reduced turnover, lower food waste, and stronger team performance.

Beyond the Numbers

The greatest ROI doesn’t come from dollars alone. Leaders consistently report that OneClick gives them back the time and confidence to focus on what matters most: developing their teams and serving guests. When leaders aren’t tied up with whiteboards, spreadsheets, or disconnected apps, they can coach with clarity, protect culture with fair accountability, and deliver smoother, more consistent shifts.

That’s ROI measured not just in savings — but in stronger teams and happier guests.

Bringing It All Together

For Chick-fil-A^® leaders, OneClick isn’t an expense. It’s an investment that pays measurable dividends. By saving thousands each year in time and operational costs, OneClick more than pays for itself — while creating space for leaders to focus on people and growth.
