How It Happened

2019-2022

The Invisible Drift

Small gaps accumulate: collectible overtime, missed breaks, tip pool issues. No one notices. POS and time data tells a story no one is reading.

Early 2023

First Complaints Surface

Former employees file complaints with the Illinois DOL. Management is blindsided. They had no visibility into the patterns.

Mid 2023

DOL Investigation Opens

State investigators begin formal inquiry. Legal fees start mounting. Media attention builds. Regular customers start seeing headlines.

Late 2023

Permanent Closure

Settlement demands, legal costs, and reputation damage prove insurmountable. The restaurant closes permanently. Years of work, gone in months.

Without Marty

  • No visibility into time-clock anomalies
  • Gaps accumulate for years undetected
  • First notice comes from DOL, not internal audit
  • No documentation of good-faith corrections
  • $26K+ liability becomes a business-ending event

With Marty

  • 18-hour detection window on anomalies
  • Pattern notifications before they become systemic
  • Documentation trail proves good-faith effort
  • Correct issues before they compound
  • Stay open, stay profitable, stay protected
