Case Study: The Market at Grelen achieves streamlined scheduling and improved labor management with Homebase

How the Market at Grelen Delights Guests Across a Growing Farm Catering and Restaurant Complex

The Market at Grelen is a 600‑acre nursery in Somerset, VA that operates a cafe, garden shop, catering service and events space. Faced with the complexity of scheduling many different roles across its farm, retail and catering operations, manager Emmie was spending too much time on Google Spreadsheets — so they turned to Homebase’s scheduling and time‑tracking app to simplify rostering and shift management.

Homebase let Emmie create one centralized schedule for events, shop, cafe and off‑site catering, while making it easy for staff to see roles, receive email alerts and track hours. The vendor’s tools also simplified labor‑budget tracking and schedule communication, freeing staff to focus on guest experiences and contributing to continued strong reviews for The Market at Grelen.
