Case Study: The Dalkey Duck achieves efficient scheduling, accurate payroll and improved staff communication with Bizimply

The Dalkey Duck - Customer Case Study

The Dalkey Duck is a busy gastropub and live-music venue in Ireland (35+ employees across two locations) founded by Gary Whelan. Relying on spreadsheets and group chats to build rotas and track time made scheduling laborious, produced inaccurate time-and-attendance records, caused recurring payroll errors, and led to confusion when shifts changed.

By implementing Bizimply — including iPad clock‑ins and the MyZimply mobile app with real‑time push notifications — the team gained accurate attendance data, clearer communication, and live visibility of labor costs. Scheduling became faster and more efficient, payroll is now consistently accurate, staff can request swaps and see upcoming shifts easily, and the system has been rolled out to their other restaurant, The Wild Duck.
