Case Study: Cutters Cigar Emporium achieves scalable scheduling and reliable time tracking with Homebase

How Georgia’s Premier Cigar Store and Homebase Have Grown Together

Cutters Cigar Emporium, a premium cigar retailer in Alpharetta, GA, started with pen-and-paper scheduling when it had just two employees and struggled to scale staff management as the business grew. After upgrading their POS, they adopted Homebase to handle scheduling, time clocks, and timesheets to replace manual processes.

Homebase’s online scheduling, clock-in verification, automatic time-off requests, and exportable timesheets (for payroll with Heartland) made it just as fast to schedule six or seven employees as it had been for two. The result: full team adoption, no scheduling issues, reliable attendance tracking, streamlined payroll exports, and the operational bandwidth to maintain excellent customer service while expanding toward a second location.
