Subway Franchisee Reaches New Heights With Paychex Payroll and Benefits
Cory St. Esprit took his father and mother’s franchise operation of three restaurant units and expanded it to nearly 40 in less than a decade. However, Cory holds firm to the ideal that employees are family, so he works with Paychex to grow with purpose and offer benefits to support his people.

Challenge
Labor – finding good people and keeping them on board – continues to challenge franchisees such as Cory St. Esprit, especially as he keeps expanding to new states. From varying minimum wages and payroll taxes to tracking time and attendance, Cory needed help managing multiple HR tasks, along with compliance regulations.
How Paychex Helped
Cory says that having Paychex payroll and its many integrations saved him time on the required administrative tasks and freed him to focus on purchasing other Subway franchise units. He did not get similar help from his previous service provider, and he looks at Paychex as an extra employee that helps manage his day-to-day operations.
Success Strategy
Looking at the work his parents put into what essentially was a second career inspires Cory St. Esprit. As he expands his portfolio of units, his goal is to find legacy franchises – long-owned by people like his parents – to purchase, so he can help those individuals look forward to retirement while he carries on what those franchisees established.
“I will say this in all honesty, if it wasn’t for Paychex, I don’t think we would have been able to grow to the point where we are right now.”
