Case Study: GG's BBQ & Catering achieves 3 hours 20 minutes saved per payroll and streamlined scheduling with Homebase

How a Regional Barbecue Favorite uses Homebase to Save Time and Focus on Growing his Business

GG’s BBQ & Catering, a growing Colorado barbecue restaurant and catering business started by Lonnie in 2007, struggled with time-consuming payroll and complex scheduling as it expanded. Relying on time cards and spreadsheets to manage a young, school‑busy staff meant bi‑weekly payroll took roughly four hours and scheduling was a continual drain on management time. To simplify operations, Lonnie turned to Homebase, initially signing up for the free plan because it integrated with his new point‑of‑sale system.

Homebase replaced manual timecards and spreadsheets with integrated scheduling, time tracking, and team communication tools, immediately saving Lonnie about 3 hours and 20 minutes every payroll period. The Homebase solution sped up schedule writing and posting, improved employee communication, and freed Lonnie to focus on growing GG’s BBQ & Catering rather than wrestling with payroll.
