Papsy’s BBQ is a go-to dining destination in Cebu, known for its grilled favorites and relaxed Filipino-style barbecue experience. Behind the scenes, however, the team was facing common growing pains experienced by many SMEs in the food and beverage industry: outdated and manual HR processes. With increasing demand and a growing team, the business relied on manual attendance logs and payroll calculations, leading to time-consuming workflows, inefficiencies, and the constant risk of human error.
The HR Challenge Behind the Kitchen
Prior to digitizing their HR, the management team at Papsy’s BBQ had to spend hours every week handling manual attendance records and preparing salary computations. Each payroll cycle demanded tedious checking and re-checking, and employee leaves or loan requests were tracked using spreadsheets or handwritten forms. The lack of real-time visibility made day-to-day HR decision-making slow and cumbersome, taking away valuable time that could have been used to focus on the guest experience and team development.
Going Digital with GreatDay HR
Everything changed when Papsy’s BBQ decided to adopt GreatDay HR, an all-in-one digital HR platform built for businesses in the Philippines. The results were immediate and impactful. Attendance tracking became accurate and streamlined, enabling the admin staff to monitor employee time records without the need for physical timesheets. Payroll, once a major burden, was simplified through automation, significantly reducing errors and saving hours of manual work. The team also started using the system to manage employee leave requests and track loan balances more efficiently. Most importantly, generating reports for internal and regulatory purposes became quick and easy—no more scrambling through records or compiling data from scratch.
“The system is great and has been a great help to us. What I like the most is how it’s easy to generate reports or data for our record-keeping.” – Janice Serato, Admin Staff of Papsy’s BBQ
