Case Study: The Escapery achieves one-hour weekly scheduling and streamlined payroll with Deputy

Streamlining with Deputy helps The Escapery solve the puzzle of scheduling nightmares

The Escapery is a locally owned escape-room business in Marietta, Georgia run by Marc and April Simmons. As the business and staff grew, manual scheduling and disparate time-tracking formats became a constant headache — shifts ranged from fully worked to on-call, employees sometimes forgot to submit hours, and payroll preparation required consolidating inconsistent data from multiple sources.

Implementing Deputy—using Areas, unified time tracking, and self-service tools—gave employees the ability to claim shifts, mark unavailability, swap shifts, and clock in/out from one app. The result: clear visibility of who’s scheduled or on site, easier onboarding and training shifts, smoother communication, and a dramatic reduction in leadership time spent on scheduling and payroll (from several hours to about an hour per week).
