Case Study: Curry Leaf Cafe achieves faster payroll and lower staff costs with Deputy

Curry Leaf Cafe wants to grow to be the most well-known Indian restaurant in all of the UK, and with the help of Deputy, they have more time to focus on this task

Curry Leaf Cafe, a growing South Indian restaurant group in the UK, needed a better way to manage schedules and payroll as it expanded to multiple locations. Its old process relied on printed Excel rotas and manual timesheet entry, which was time-consuming, inaccurate, and difficult to manage for 40 staff.

Deputy provided scheduling and timesheet software that let the team clock in and out via the app, store employee details, and auto-fill shifts. With Deputy, Curry Leaf Cafe immediately cut staff costs by 5% and reduced payroll processing from two days a month to just 45 minutes, while also improving timesheet accuracy and operational consistency.
