Case Study: The Snack Shack at One Pacific achieves seamless scheduling — 80 shifts filled in under 10 minutes with Deputy

Beach-side Snack Shack serves up seamless schedules thanks to Deputy

Beach-side Snack Shack at One Pacific is a newly renovated, seafood-focused concession on a New York beach run by owners David Zelinger and Mark Goldsmith. With 26+ seasonal employees and a tight timeline to open, they faced major scheduling headaches: previous jobs relied on texts and spreadsheets that were disjointed, hard to track and plan around, so they needed an affordable, easy-to-use system that would work for a young workforce.

They chose Deputy as the only option that met their needs for functionality and cost, onboarding staff before opening and using a pay-only-for-active-employees plan. The team posted 80 open shifts and filled them in under 10 minutes during opening week; employees now easily pick up shifts, qualify for new roles via training, swap shifts, and consistently praise the system — even bringing job referrals from friends.
