Case Study: Button & Spoon achieves streamlined staff management and reduced labour costs with Deputy

The introduction of Deputy has helped this family-owned business streamline their people management and communication processes, saving time and money

Button & Spoon is a family‑owned vintage tearoom in Wexford that has grown into a restaurant and catering business employing 17 staff. The owners struggled with time‑consuming weekly rostering and manual timesheet entry on spreadsheets, difficulty matching labour to seasonal tourist demand, and limited capacity to train and manage casual staff.

They implemented Deputy, a cloud‑based staff management app that centralised rostering, timesheets, shift swaps, leave requests, task‑based training and integrated with sales for labour budgeting. The result was faster, more professional HR administration, easier onboarding, clearer team communication, accessible records for inspections, and measurable savings in time and labour costs, allowing the owners to focus on growing the business.
