Case Study: Monsieur le Duck achieves 3 hours/month payroll savings and seamless scheduling & leave management with Deputy

Monsieur le Duck uses Deputy to make scheduling and leave management a breeze

Monsieur le Duck is a London restaurant founded by Richard Humphreys that grew from a successful pop‑up into a permanent Clerkenwell venue serving south‑west French cuisine. As the business expanded, manual scheduling, messy timesheets and spreadsheet‑based leave tracking created errors, missed timesheets, frequent follow‑ups and even accidental over‑payments — all of which ate into valuable management time.

After a two‑week roll‑out of Deputy, the restaurant automated clock‑ins, timesheets and leave management, giving staff real‑time access to accrued leave and the owner clear, accurate records. The change made payroll and rostering far more reliable, saved about three hours a month on payroll administration, and freed Richard to focus on growing the business.
