Case Study: Haute Catering achieves 66% revenue growth without adding staff with Celayix Software

Haute Catering Increases Revenue by 66%

Haute Catering, an upscale event‑planning and catering company facing frequent last‑minute "pop‑up" events and complex union scheduling rules, was spending an inordinate amount of time on manual staff scheduling and paper distribution. To address this, they turned to Celayix Software and implemented Celayix eTime Xpress, Voice Xpress and integrated time clocks to automate scheduling and schedule retrieval.

Celayix Software integrated eTime Xpress with Haute Catering’s proprietary catering system, eliminating duplicate data entry, enforcing union rules, and allowing employees to retrieve schedules by phone. Deployed in two weeks, the solution saved about one full work day per week, cut no‑shows from roughly 20–30% to a rare occurrence, improved time‑clock accuracy, and enabled the business to grow from $6M to $10M in annual revenue (a 66% increase) without adding staff.
