Systems and structures
Anders is a firm believer in the importance of systems. Since the beginning of Alice, he has been using Workfeed:
“I wanted to put systems and structures in place early on. Even though we would probably have been fine with scheduling on a piece of paper, it's very helpful to get something done that little bit faster. On top of that, I wanted my team to be able to access their schedules via an app.”
Now almost 6 years later, he is still very happy with Workfeed and it is being used in all of Earnest Eats' businesses.
Craftmanship above all
From the perspective of keeping maximum focus on the bakeries and their craft, the right systems and structure are vital to Anders and his team.
“I try to leverage systems in my daily line of work with the goal to automate as much work as I can. After all, good systems simply create structure.”
In particular, features like templates, shift swapping and leave management help Anders and his managers to effectively manage their teams.
An integral part of daily operations
Workfeed is an integral part of day-to-day operations within Earnest Eats and works so smoothly that Anders doesn't have to think about it.
“Today, our site managers take care of everything related to employee scheduling, allowing me to erase it off my to-do list. Workfeed saves both me, and our entire team a lot of time.”
Just because Anders has taken his hands off tasks like creating employee schedules doesn't mean he's completely letting it go.
“It's great that it's so easy to navigate between schedules from different locations. This makes it easy for me to keep an overview despite being less involved.”
“Workfeed is extremely helpful and does what it is supposed to do. It's easy for my team, it creates structure and clarity, and it's time-saving. I can only recommend it.”
