One of our Rhode Island general managers found Breakroom, and they've been using it for our Rhode Island locations, and they love it. So our vice president just asked me to look into it to possibly convert the whole company.

One of my managers was doing some research and they came across Breakroom and some of them have started using it, where they took it upon themselves to buy it and start using it and they're like, oh, we really like it. It's very similar to Crew.

I think Breakroom will work well for us. We've looked at a lot of different systems. I need it to be pretty simple, and I can't have them walk through 10 different steps. I need to be, like, quick, and they'll do it.
