Our Nationwide Expansion of Youth Dining Spaces is Now Within Reach

Summary

YouthMungan provides affordable dining spaces for young people across Korea and supports them through social and cultural programs. As a nonprofit operating multiple branches, YouthMungan needed a more reliable and efficient way to manage staff attendance, handle reports, and communicate across locations.

With Shopl, YouthMungan centralized attendance tracking, digitized daily reporting, and introduced transparent communication tools—all from one platform. These improvements have enabled smoother day-to-day operations and paved the way for confident nationwide expansion.

“Shopl has made managing multiple branches incredibly smooth. We used to worry about delays and confusion, but now everything from attendance to communication is aligned.”

Challenges

• Fragmented Attendance Tracking Across Stores: Manual attendance logs via Excel lacked real-time oversight and made it difficult to monitor lateness, absences, or scheduling consistency across branches.
• Inefficient Report Submissions: Daily financial and donation reports were often missed, misplaced, or sent through chat apps—creating inconsistencies and extra admin work.
• Lack of Visibility in Communications: Announcements and instructions were shared via messaging apps, with no way to confirm whether recipients saw the messages—leading to missed deadlines and confusion.

Solution

1. GPS-Based Attendance for Multi-Site Teams

With Shopl, employees at all locations can now clock in using GPS verification. Whether full-time HQ staff or part-time kitchen teams, everyone follows a unified attendance process.

Managers receive automatic alerts for missed or late check-ins, and all attendance data is centrally tracked—no more chasing down Excel files or manually verifying time records.

2. Mobile-Friendly Reports with Real-Time Visibility

Shopl’s Report feature prompts staff to submit required forms at the start and end of shifts. Submission statuses are visible to managers in real time, eliminating delays and guesswork.

Donation reports now include required photos and item details, all submitted via mobile. Headquarters can instantly access and download reports in Excel, ensuring nothing is lost or duplicated.

3. Seamless Communication with Read Confirmation

Notices can now be targeted to specific teams or sent branch-wide. Each message includes a read receipt, so HQ knows exactly who has seen it and who hasn’t.

File attachments like posters or internal guides can be included directly in announcements, eliminating back-and-forths. Communication is streamlined and accountable.

• Donation documentation accuracy improved by 90%
• No missed announcements—read status now trackable in real time

“Thanks to Shopl, we’re no longer hesitant about growing. The structure it’s given us has made nationwide expansion feel realistic and manageable.”
