Case Study: Crumble & Whisk Pâtisserie saves hundreds of labor hours with Homebase

How Crumble & Whisk saved hundreds of labor hours

Crumble & Whisk Pâtisserie, an Oakland-based bakery founded in 2013, struggled with inaccurate timesheets, missed breaks, overtime, and the manual work of matching labor hours to payroll. As the business grew, owner Chef Charles Farriér needed a better way to manage scheduling, time tracking, and labor costs without losing hours to spreadsheets.

Using Homebase’s Plus plan with scheduling, time tracking, and payroll, Crumble & Whisk centralized team communication, improved visibility into shifts and tasks, and streamlined payroll processing. With Homebase, the bakery saved more than 100 hours of misreported labor costs each month and eliminated hours of manual data entry, helping Charles build smarter schedules and spend more time on the business itself.
