Drive-through due in Crewe

Crewe may be on track to get a new drive-through restaurant in town.

The plans are due to go before Cheshire East Council’s planning committee on 3rd March, for a single-story drive-through in Crewe Market Centre which can handle 68 covers at once. If the plans are approved, this will lead to the creation of nearly 40 new jobs in the area, both full-time and part-time.

Most restaurants still rely on employees to fill in handwritten timesheets stating their hours worked. Getting employees to retrospectively record their hours worked directly onto paper is not only open to fraud and mistakes, it also makes room for human error further up the chain, and it can be a massive drain on your office and payroll staff who have to approve and type up all the information.

Managers also have to collect and approve all the timesheets. A study has shown that this can take more than 15 minutes per employee. Those numbers quickly mount up!

Thankfully there’s an easy solution. A workforce management system from Time and Attendance North West would bring your attendance systems up to date and reduce workloads considerably.

Managers would no longer need to approve every single timesheet every single week or month, and accounts staff would no longer need to laboriously type up the timesheets to enter them into the payroll system.

All the staff would need to do is clock in and out using one of our terminals, with either a smartcard or a biometric measurement (fingerprints or facial recognition).

If the premises cannot support a physical terminal, then we offer a web/app version called the Self Service Module. If employees use their phones to clock in, employees can mark their location using GPS. This is useful for keeping track of remote workers.

The clock-in data is collected in our .NET software, where it can be easily viewed by anyone with the right permission, and it can be exported straight to common payroll systems such as Sagepay.

Our system makes monitoring attendance and working hours quick, simple and accurate. To find out more, please get in touch today.
