Case Study: Harvest Health Foods achieves 80% fewer no-shows and 10‑minute weekly scheduling with Deputy

The Harvest Health team love using Deputy to streamline business

Harvest Health Foods is a family-owned health food store in Palm Desert, California, run by owner Craig Stone and his daughter Danielle. For decades they relied on pen-and-paper (and later a payroll scheduling feature) to build schedules for their six employees, printing copies that staff often forgot to pick up—leading to missed shifts, late arrivals and a messy, time-consuming process that took about an hour each week.

After switching to Deputy—at a similar cost but far better functionality—the team now uses a personalized app that gives employees clear visibility and accountability. Scheduling time dropped to 10 minutes a week (a 500% decrease), employee no-shows and lateness fell by 80%, and staff feel more empowered and informed about their shifts.
