In this episode of the Tech on Toast Podcast, Chris Fletcher chats with Archie Heaton, Head of Commercial at Level, the salary-linked financial wellbeing platform that’s making waves in hospitality.

We dive into:

  • Archie’s journey from Microsoft and Xbox to startup life

  • What on-demand pay really is—and why it’s not a debt trap

  • How Level compares to WageStream and why many operators are making the switch

  • The real impact of financial flexibility on retention and team morale

  • Why hospitality is next in line for a financial wellbeing revolution

  • And how Level is now powering platforms for other providers, like US giant Daily Pay


💬 “You only get one chance to mess up someone’s pay. People don’t forget.”


💡 This one’s for the operators, people directors, and GMs who want to do things better—for their team and their business.
