The problem
Two shops shared bakers, but each manager kept their own rota. The same person was sometimes booked in both places.
Overtime crept up because nobody could see a baker's total hours across both sites.
How they set it up
The Team plan puts both sites on one screen. A baker booked at one shop shows as busy at the other.
Weekly labour cost sits next to the rota, so managers catch overtime before they publish the week.
“We cut overtime by three quarters in the first two months. It paid for itself in week one.”
