Lars is a passionate person with a big heart and several projects running. In this article we focus on the venue, Boxen, that has experienced rapid development over the past year.
“It started as a hobby with three friends, but suddenly there were a lot of people wanting to host events and throw parties at our venue”
Thing were moving smoothly, but as they were completing the expansion of their outdoor bistro, Lars suddenly faced a new challenge.
Lars not only needed to hire a lot of new people - he also desperately needed a system that could handle all the shifts, hours and payroll.
At that point, one of his employees, Cecilia, suggested Workfeed: Well, I was busy finishing the bistro, so in that way, it was a huge relief that one of my employees had found this solution!
“Well, I was busy finishing up the bistro, so in that way it was a huge relief that one of my employees had found this solution!”
Solution
As a leader, Lars loves it when his employees present solutions and take responsibility at work. That is why he asked Cecilia if she wanted to set it up herself, "She was into it! She found it super easy, so it was such a win-win."
It was until Cecilia went to boarding school that Lars had to take matters into his own hands. And he was surprised - in the most positive way. He did not think that scheduling would be so easy:
"Every time we have an event, I set up the schedule, and then I agreed with my staff that they handle any swapping of shifts themselves. That way, I do not have to micro-manage."
Result
With Workfeed, Lars only spends a few hours a month managing the schedule - because once the work schedule is out, his employees use the app to handle the rest.
But apart from easy scheduling, there is one thing about Workfeed that Lars is particularly excited about:
“In an industry where thing are moving so fast, it is a huge advantage that it is easy to set up new employees. It only takes me 15 minutes to set up new employees in the system - with payroll, contract and everything.”
With the development that Boxen is going through, Lars has chosen to upgrade to Pro. It makes life easier for the 24 wonderful people he has hired - and easier for himself, of course.
