Dusty Knuckle’s existing restaurant in Cardiff is a pizzeria, with another in Pembrokeshire, a pitch at Ogmore-By-Sea, a pop-up element which caters for festivals, and an ongoing refurbishment project in a former park warden’s house.

 

Their new venture is called DARK, and is based in one of Cardiff’s historic Victorian arcades. It will continue Dusty Knuckles’ commitment to sustainability and local suppliers, but will offer a much wider range of food, from flatbreads and kebabs, to pizzas to small plates.

 

Owners Phill & Debs Lewis are also co-owners of lburger pop-up Hoof, and of Cardiff small-plates and natural wine restaurant, Nook. In 2018 Phill Lewis also founded restaurant festival, Bite Cardiff, which attracted almost 10,000 people to the grounds of a city centre mansion. In 2019, Bite Cardiff grew to 15,000 people and 30 chefs; plans for the 2020 event are already under way.

Most restaurants (and many retail shops in general) still rely on employees to fill in handwritten timesheets stating their hours worked. Not only does this run the risk of being inaccurate thanks to employees’ forgetfulness, or worse, malice, but it can be a massive drain on your office and payroll staff who have to approve and type up all the information.

 

A workforce management system from Time and Attendance Scotland would bring your attendance systems up to date and reduce workloads considerably, and a brand new building is the perfect time and place to implement it! 

 

For example, 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). This data is collected in our WinTA.NET software, and it can be exported straight to common payroll systems such as Sagepay.
