What is your target market?
I own several retail stores that usually have 2-6 employees on the clock at any given time and don't see any meaningful benefit at our level. I could see how a place with 20 employees on the clock at one time might have more benefit, but that seems like a pretty small market to me.

I talked to many coffee shop and restaurant owners, and my conclusion was that independent stores would be hard to acquire as customers, require more ongoing support, and bring in less revenue. Initially I am planning on targeting medical (ERs, private ambulance companies), construction, warehouses, and chains where there are economies of scale or higher-paid hourly workers that would justify such a solution.

Accross the three shifts in a day, the nurse/patient ratio is a little over one. I think for about 30 NICU babies you had about 75 nurses, so this is an interesting planning problem.
