Case Study: Olivia Macaron cuts payroll time by 83% and eliminates errors with Deputy

Olivia Macaron - Customer Case Study

Olivia Macaron is a women‑led macaron bakery based in Washington, D.C., with three retail locations, an off‑site kitchen and about 25 mostly part‑time employees. As the business grew, founder Ana Claudia Lopez outgrew Excel for scheduling and payroll — juggling changing student schedules, frequent manual edits, and error‑prone timesheets made it nearly impossible to plan ahead or manage multiple locations efficiently.

Ana switched to Deputy, integrating it with ADP to automate timekeeping, payroll and scheduling. The result: payroll time dropped by 83% (from ~1 hour to 10 minutes) with zero errors, no printed timesheets, easier multi‑location scheduling, staff-initiated shift swaps, automated overtime alerts, and the ability to publish monthly schedules using reusable templates.
