New Bristol restaurant opens

A new restaurant has been announced near Cabot Circus in Bristol. It will open on Friday 2nd October.

Klosterhaus is the first venture in the South West by D&D London. It is located within the 18th century grade I-listed Quakers Friars building. It consists of a resutaurant, a bar and an open terrace, and it will serve food inspired by Central European cafes.

Klosterhaus will also feature a number of event spaces for business meetings and social events.

Des Gunewardena, chairman and chief executive of D&D London, said: “Quaker Friars is an absolute gem of a building and I hope that Klosterhaus will bring it to life.

“Bristol has a very exciting foodie scene and I hope that we can contribute to and become part of it. We are very pleased to be working again with Hammerson and are very supportive and enthusiastic about their plans for the overall development of Quakers Friars.”

Most restaurants still rely on employees to fill in handwritten timesheets stating their hours worked. Getting employees to retrospectively record their hours worked directly onto paper is not only open to fraud and mistakes, it also makes room for human error further up the chain, and it can be a massive drain on your office and payroll staff who have to approve and type up all the information.

Managers also have to collect and approve all the timesheets. A study has shown that this can take more than 15 minutes per employee. Those numbers quickly mount up!

Thankfully there’s an easy solution. A workforce management system from Time and Attendance South West would bring your attendance systems up to date and reduce workloads considerably.

Managers would no longer need to approve every single timesheet every single week or month, and accounts staff would no longer need to laboriously type up the timesheets to enter them into the payroll system.

All the staff would need to do is clock in and out using one of our terminals, with either a smartcard or a biometric measurement (fingers or hands).

If the premises cannot support a physical terminal, then we offer a web/app version called the Self Service Module. If employees use their phones to clock in, employees can mark their location using GPS. This is useful for keeping track of remote workers.

The clock-in data is collected in our WinTA.NET software, where it can be easily viewed by anyone with the right permission, and it can be exported straight to common payroll systems such as Sagepay.

Our system makes monitoring attendance and working hours quick, simple and accurate. To find out more, please get in touch today.
