In 2014, The Kettle Black implemented Deputy Time and Attendance as its Time and Attendance solution. The deployment supported a single-site Melbourne cafe with roughly 50 employees and was configured to roster about 40 front of house and back of house staff, manage timeclock entries, and enforce Restaurant Industry Award rate rules through shift templates and pay rule configuration.
Deputy Time and Attendance was used alongside the cafe POS IMPOS and financial reporting through FUTRLI, and it drove payroll export workflows and roster approvals used by the general manager. Operational coverage included recruitment onboarding, manager and senior staff training on scheduling and approvals, production of opening and closing checklists, and ongoing compliance with award rates. Governance changes included standardized rostering practices, manager approval workflows for timesheets, and use of the application for payroll budgeting, which the manager recorded as optimising the payroll budget while maintaining compliance.
