How Cobraste is Solving Absenteeism and Boosting Restaurant Profitability - At No Cost

In the restaurant industry, employee absenteeism and turnover present significant challenges, impacting service quality and profitability. Innovative financial solutions, such as Earned Wage Access (EWA) and digital tipping, have emerged as effective strategies to enhance employee satisfaction and reduce absenteeism.

Cobraste, the leading EWA provider for Latin America and the Caribbean, offers restaurant operators a tailored, zero-cost solution that gives employees immediate access to their earnings and digital tips. The result? A more reliable, motivated, and loyal workforce.

Traditional payroll systems often require employees to wait for scheduled paydays, leading to unnecessary financial stress. That stress translates into higher absenteeism, disengagement, and employee turnover. Cobraste’s real-time EWA platform eliminates these barriers by giving employees access to the wages they’ve already earned - without fees or interest and without adding complexity to payroll or impacting cash flow.

Cobraste also transforms the way restaurants handle tips. With fewer customers using cash, daily tip-outs have become an operational pain point. Cobraste’s Digital Tips program allows restaurants to disburse tips digitally, instantly, and securely—eliminating the need for cash on site and cutting down on administrative hassle. For every 100 tipped employees, Cobraste is saving operators over $1,000,000 per year in cash handling and labor costs!
