With a passion for breathing new life into well-loved local pubs, Moogies’ Founder Paul Mitchell understands the value of quality, and a well-trained staff bring to a customer’s experience in a classic British pub. Carrying the legacy of venues that got their first liquor license in 1524, Paul knows more than most that people make the difference.  But as he and his senior management team knit together their business know-how with a belief that the hospitality industry has its best days yet in front of it, Moogies turned to workforce collaboration software Planday to keep its staff engaged, retain their best talent for longer and take their business dream to the next level. After doubling the staff they have using Planday, the Group now saves two days a week – and £1,200 a month – in scheduling.  We spoke with Paul to see how Planday makes his day work. 

Having the right tools to manage the day-to-day work with eCommerce, concessions and delivery, all while keeping employees happy, has enabled Pasta Evangelists to grow. Doubling staff and becoming a part of Barilla, the world’s largest pasta producer, has brought new opportunities and financial needs to the table.  “We are growing massively and very quickly, so we’re looking for a system that can support us with easy tracking and an overview of labour costs,” Charles says.  “Planday makes it easy for us to trim areas where we’re seeing low volume of sales but high costs.”
