“Can a regional fast-casual restaurant brand win on employee retention and customer loyalty by embedding financial wellness benefits and seamless digital ordering into its operations?”
Honeygrow launched as a Philadelphia-based fast-casual dining brand in 2012, differentiating on local ingredients and healthy options in the stir-fry and salad segment. The company expanded to 1,000+ employees and multiple locations. A key embedded-finance pivot came in 2022 when honeygrow adopted DailyPay's earned wage access platform alongside financial wellness coaching via OneEleven, positioning competitive employee benefits as a hiring and retention differentiator in the labor-constrained restaurant industry.
Honeygrow was founded by Justin Rosenberg and is founded in 2012, headquartered in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA.
Honeygrow has raised $71.75M in total (latest round: Loan | ~2019).
