How Dripos created a 360° platform for coffee shops with Check

The Opportunity: Streamline back office operations for coffee shops

Payroll is non-negotiable for almost any small business because hourly workers, which make up a majority of coffee shop employees, present a unique set of complexities and challenges for business owners. Before Dripos, coffee shops had to rely on legacy payroll services that didn’t account for the nuances that affect hourly work and coffee shops in particular: tip calculation, overtime pay, unlimited payroll runs, and more. The coffee industry had no single solution dedicated to them.

The founders of Dripos knew they needed to offer a payroll solution in order to best serve their customers. Dripos wanted an easy-to-use, efficient payroll solution that was tailored specifically for coffee shops.

However, after setting out to build payroll on their own, they quickly realized that building and managing the complexities of payroll was proving to be more difficult than anticipated. They needed to account for withholding taxes, filing forms with various government agencies, managing money movement, building in all 50 states, and more. Building all of it on their own wasn’t going to work.

The solution: Offer a native payroll solution–without building payroll

Dripos chose Check as their payroll infrastructure partner to seamlessly integrate payroll into their platform and uniquely serve their customer base. 

By building on Check’s robust API, Dripos was able to integrate a complete payroll system without dealing directly with the complexities surrounding payroll. A startup like Dripos relies on Check to be the expert and to anticipate what is needed so Dripos doesn’t have to. Dripos is able to maintain focus on their customers, while Check handles the intricacies of the payroll system.
