Case Study: Bababoom Kebab achieves effortless scaling and monthly per-employee savings with Planday

Using tech solutions to effortlessly scale operations

Bababoom is a trendy Battersea kebab shop mixing Middle-Eastern flavours with high-quality British ingredients that is expanding to new London sites. When it opened in 2016 scheduling was chaotic—relying on Excel, paper contracts and fragmented communication (WhatsApp, email, phone) led to version clashes, payroll opacity and wasted time, so the team needed a reliable, cost-effective staffing solution.

They adopted Planday for its strong feature set and responsive support, moving to digital contracts, punch-clock timekeeping and an internal messaging hub. That change delivered clearer onboarding and pay transparency, monthly per‑person cost savings, easier shift trading between locations and the operational capacity to scale quickly and efficiently.
