Case Study: Cresci Pizzeria improves rota efficiency with RotaCloud

Cresci Pizzeria publishes rotas 2 weeks ahead with RotaCloud

Cresci Pizzeria, an authentic Neapolitan pizzeria in York, faced significant challenges with its manual, last-minute scheduling. The team used spreadsheets and WhatsApp to create rotas, a process managed by the founders that was error-prone and delayed, often being shared on Sunday evenings for the coming week. This led to staff frustration and operational inefficiencies, compounded by difficulties tracking availability and preventing conflicting holiday requests. Daniele Currò, the new Head of Operations, introduced the RotaCloud employee scheduling platform to address these issues.

Using RotaCloud, Cresci Pizzeria transformed its scheduling process. The availability and holiday management features allowed staff to input their own schedules, distributing responsibility and enabling Daniele to publish rotas at least two weeks in advance. The solution provided clear visibility, prevented overlapping time-off, and made rota planning fluid and efficient. As a result, staff satisfaction improved dramatically due to earlier shift notifications, and management reclaimed significant time, removing the burden and errors of the previous manual system.
