Case Study: St. Petersbark achieves streamlined scheduling and more time to play with Deputy

St. Petersbark have more time to play thanks to Deputy

St. Petersbark is a natural pet market in St. Petersburg, FL, founded by Krista Schmidt after selling homemade dog treats at farmers’ markets. As the business grew and Krista hired her first employees, she found herself juggling accounting, scheduling, training and customer service—and worried that hiring would only add to an already overwhelming workload.

Krista implemented Deputy to streamline scheduling, communication and training, leveraging News Feed and Tasking, mobile clock‑in, and integration with Gusto for payroll. The result: fast, error‑free payroll, scheduling completed in minutes from a phone, stronger team communication and culture, and the peace of mind for Krista to step back and enjoy more time off.
