Fourth is an enterprise workforce management platform for large restaurant chains and franchise groups. Marty is the cash recovery layer that audits what that workforce is actually costing you — every day, at the dollar level.
Fourth is an enterprise-grade workforce management platform built for large restaurant chains. It covers scheduling, time and attendance, HR, payroll integration, compliance, demand forecasting, and workforce analytics.
The demand forecasting is a genuine strength — integrating external signals like weather and events to improve scheduling accuracy. Combined with payroll integration and compliance management, Fourth addresses workforce management at enterprise scale.
Fourth plans and manages labor at scale. But at 200 locations, who is auditing the dollar-level execution at each location every day? Fourth tells you labor was 31% of sales last week. Marty tells you Location 34 ran $1,840 over optimal — here's the shift, the employees, the dollar cost.
Enterprise workforce management and daily dollar-level cash recovery are different functions. Fourth optimizes the workforce plan. Marty audits whether that plan was executed correctly.
At 200 locations, even a $100/day execution gap per location is $7.3M annually. Marty finds that gap every morning.
