Title: Streamlining Hibachi Efficiency: A Case Study of Benihana’s Implementation of UltiPro HCM
Abstract
Benihana, renowned for its theatrical teppanyaki dining experience, faces distinct workforce management challenges, including high seasonality, tip pooling complexities, and a mix of skilled chefs and front-of-house staff. This paper examines Benihana’s adoption of UltiPro (now UKG Pro) as a Human Capital Management solution. It analyzes how UltiPro addresses payroll accuracy, employee self-service, compliance, and retention within Benihana’s high-volume, experience-driven model. Findings suggest that UltiPro’s cloud-based, integrated platform significantly reduces administrative overhead, improves tip reporting compliance, and enhances employee engagement, directly supporting Benihana’s operational excellence.
