Case Study: Gazette Brasserie achieves 75% faster rota creation and team-wide visibility with Deputy

London-based Gazette Brasserie uses Deputy to ensure multiple locations are well managed so they can focus on delivering good food

Gazette Brasserie is a London-based hospitality group operating three casual French-style restaurants with about 60 staff. As the business grew from a single location, owner Walter Lecoq found Excel-based rotas and manual time tracking increasingly untenable, and recruiting and retaining key front- and back-of-house team members became a major challenge.

By adopting Deputy, Gazette centralized scheduling, time tracking and team communication across all sites, giving managers clear visibility and reducing rota-creation time by 75%. The streamlined system saves training and admin hours, improves transparency for staff, and lets the team focus on service and expansion plans as they pursue growth to 10+ units.
