Who’s hired.Who’s here.Who’s safe.
Santo, thanks for stopping by booth 7311 at HR Tech 2026. McDonald's is consolidating its HR backbone into one cloud. jay cloud carries that single record to every door, time terminal, visitor desk and muster point: new hires are badge-ready on day one, and a leaver's access ends when the HCM says so. It starts at 110 N. Carpenter.

01The moment
McDonald's is consolidating hundreds of Finance and HR systems into one cloud. The building should come along.

The benefits window
As the consolidated record goes live, the physical workplace needs to follow it. The planning window is now.
The gap
The record is consolidating. The building isn't, yet.
System of recordHCM recordOracle Fusion · Workday
ticket · feed · sheet · printone event, sent once
one governed layer- Badges & doorsIT ticket, keyed by handRights follow the role
- Time terminalsCustom feed, own error queueProfiles synced in real time
- Visitor deskSpreadsheet or separate toolPre-registered, zone-limited
- Muster listPrinted, out of date by noonLive, visitors included
Every system re-keys the change. Day-one access depends on someone remembering a ticket, leavers keep working badges until it closes, and visitors are missing from the muster list when the alarm sounds.
One governed layer. A hire, move or exit in the HCM reaches every door, terminal, visitor badge and muster list, monitored as a product rather than hand-maintained code.
Illustrative pattern. Current McDonald's badge, visitor and roll-call tools are not public; we would map them first.
02One platform
Four modules. One HCM-connected cloud.
jay cloud is not another system of record. Your HCM stays the source of truth, and jay cloud turns its events into workplace actions: no re-keying, no tickets, no delays.
02ACCESS
Access that follows the person
Rights derive from role, location and employment status. A hire, transfer or exit in the HCM updates the doors immediately, with a full audit trail.

05Integration
Integration, without the hand-waving.
A McDonald's HCM leader has publicly named third-party integration failures and inefficient error notification as ongoing pain points. jay cloud replaces point-to-point feeds with one monitored integration layer.

“jay cloud TIME has simplified our daily processes and provided our employees with an intuitive, user-friendly self-service platform. The solution is integrated with SAP SuccessFactors and provides the global scalability we need.”
“Our goal was to implement a European solution with a strong partner instead of multiple local systems. With jay cloud, we have created a scalable, integrated platform that supports our SAP landscape and simplifies daily operations for both employees and administrators.”
Drill at scale. A G2 reviewer reported a verified headcount of 4,500 employees across four buildings in under six minutes during a drill (customer-reported).

08The proposal
The 110 Carpenter Pilot.
Start where McDonald's is the employer and owns the building. Prove it in one place, measure it together, then expand only where it earns it.
