Ice Age Management, Inc., a McDonald’s franchisee based in the Carolinas, and DailyPay, a PayTech platform specialising in On-Demand Pay and financial wellness solutions, have formed a strategic partnership to enhance employee benefits in the quick-service restaurant (QSR) industry.
The collaboration was launched to support Ice Age Management’s recruitment strategy and improve financial freedom for its employees, according to FF News.
By integrating DailyPay’s On-Demand Pay solution, Ice Age aims to give its workers greater control over their earnings, boosting motivation and productivity while enhancing its reputation as a “people first” employer.
Ice Age Management, headquartered in Greensboro, North Carolina, operates 46 McDonald’s restaurants across North Carolina and South Carolina. The company is known for its commitment to developing a diverse and highly skilled workforce, with a strong emphasis on employee support and growth opportunities.
DailyPay is a leading PayTech firm offering On-Demand Pay and financial wellness tools. Its platform allows workers to access their earned wages before payday, supporting wealth building and improved financial decision-making. The company has been particularly successful in the QSR sector, where users have reported increased job motivation and productivity.
Ice Age Management’s QSR employees will benefit from DailyPay’s full On-Demand Pay and financial wellness suite, which enables them to track earnings in real time and access wages as needed. This feature complements Ice Age’s existing benefits, which include free meals, uniforms, and tuition reimbursement programmes for educational advancement.
Research conducted on DailyPay’s impact in the QSR sector indicates that nearly 50% of users feel more productive at work, while over 55% report higher motivation when using the service. These results reinforce the platform’s value in supporting both employee satisfaction and operational efficiency.
Ice Age Management HR manager Laketa Barber said, “Taking care of our employees is a top priority at Ice Age. We pride ourselves on trying to provide the best benefits and opportunities for growth at work as well as in their everyday lives. DailyPay helps us provide that benefit by allowing our employees access to their hard earned money daily and providing them with financial tools to help save money while working toward their goals.”
