At LIFELENZ, we envision a future where workforce management in the QSR industry is seamlessly optimized through advanced AI and technology. LIFELENZ plays a crucial role in this vision by tackling the industry's high churn rates and complex scheduling needs. “QSR has the highest churn rates. If we can help them retain the staff, keep their staff better skilled and happier at work, giving better outcomes, then they are going to be contributing to the growth of their business,” explains Stephen.
LIFELENZ was founded with the aim of bringing modern, AI-driven solutions to an industry plagued by outdated software. Stephen's background in developing complex mathematical software platforms provided the perfect foundation for creating a robust, scalable solution tailored to the unique needs of QSR businesses.
AI has significantly transformed workforce management, particularly in the QSR and retail sectors. LIFELENZ has developed a state-of-the-art AI-based forecasting and labor optimization platform. This platform not only optimizes labor allocation but also integrates various components and apps to enhance employee engagement and career development. Stephen notes, “We built a world-class AI-based forecasting labor optimization platform...to allow staff to engage in their work, get more work, evolve their careers, and manage their lives better in this dynamic, ever changing workforce climate.”
The AI-driven approach ensures precise labor forecasting, helping businesses maintain the right staffing levels. This reduces operational stress, improves customer service, and enhances employee satisfaction by ensuring they are neither overworked nor underutilized.
One of the biggest challenges in the QSR industry is ensuring the right amount of labor at the right time. Stephen highlights that an imbalance in labor can create stress and inefficiencies. “When there’s not enough labor, that creates a lot of stress on all the staff and the business. When there is too much labor, it does not go the right way for everyone. It is about getting the right person, right place, right time in QSR.” LIFELENZ addresses this challenge by providing a flexible platform that ensures optimal labor allocation, reducing stress and improving the work experience for employees.
LIFELENZ’s platform is designed to be user-friendly and adaptable, offering features like shift swapping, real-time notifications, and multi-location management. These features allow managers to handle scheduling changes effortlessly, ensuring that labor needs are met efficiently and effectively.
Customer feedback has been crucial in the development of LIFELENZ’s features. Stephen emphasizes that the client has always been front and center in shaping their technology. “We have worked with multiple QSR chains across the globe. The clients have helped us shape our technology to deliver them the right value. Sometimes we bring them ideas, but they also come to us with problems, and we work together to solve them.” This collaborative approach ensures that LIFELENZ’s solutions are tailored to meet the real-world needs of their clients.
LIFELENZ continually integrates customer feedback into its development process, ensuring the platform evolves to meet the changing demands of the industry. This customer-centric approach has led to the creation of features that directly address the pain points experienced by QSR businesses.
LIFELENZ is pioneering the future of workforce management in the QSR industry by leveraging advanced AI and prioritizing customer feedback. With an unobstructed vision and innovative solutions, LIFELENZ is set to transform how businesses optimize their labor forces, ensuring better outcomes for both employers and employees.
