43% Faster Onboarding with Garnysh
Shadowing was eating manager time and producing inconsistent results. Garnysh's structured onboarding paths cut time-to-productivity nearly in half.

The Challenge: Manager Overload
A growing casual dining group was hiring 8–12 new employees per month across 3 locations. Each new hire required 2–3 weeks of shadowing, consuming 6–8 hours of manager time weekly.
The process was entirely manual: paper checklists got lost, tribal knowledge varied by trainer, and there was no way to verify a new hire understood the material before their first solo shift.
Before Garnysh: ~60% training completion, 14-day average onboarding time, and high early turnover from unprepared new hires.
The Solution: Structured Paths
Garnysh implemented role-specific AI training paths:
The Results
- Average onboarding time dropped from 14 days to 8 days
- Manager time spent on onboarding fell by 6–8 hours per week
- Training completion rate hit 95% (vs. ~60% before)
- 30-day retention improved by 22%
"We used to dread hiring season. Now new hires show up on day one already knowing our standards, our menu, and our systems. It's transformed how we operate."
