Beechwood Doughnuts, a busy bakery in St. Catharines, Ontario, faced substantial challenges with its manual scheduling system. Keeping track of staff schedules using paper was not only tedious but often resulted in communication mishaps, as co-founder Tayler Book expended considerable time to communicate and adjust shifts.

By utilizing digital templates and communication tools, Tayler was able to efficiently manage staff schedules, improve communication with her team, and cut down on the cumbersome task of constantly updating paper rosters. This transition not only simplified scheduling but also integrated seamlessly with their existing systems like Quickbooks for payroll. As a result of implementing these digital solutions, Beechwood Doughnuts successfully saved over 5 hours per week on scheduling alone. With the newfound time savings, the management was able to focus on other operational aspects, which significantly contributed to their production efficiency, allowing the bakery to craft over 10,000 doughnuts weekly. This operational upgrade has poised them to meet the evolving demands of the post-COVID market, especially in terms of pre-order and delivery expansion.
