B&B Hospitality is a world-renowned restaurant group led by Mario Batali, Joe Bastianich and Lidia Bastianich. B&B has over 25 restaurants across seven cities around the world that range from ultra-fine dining concepts such as Del Posto to upscale restaurants such as Casa Mono to casual dining experiences such as Pizzeria Mozza. The group was founded on “traditional Italian principles: the notion that food is best left to its simple beauty, that the dining experience should be shared with loved ones and that we can leave the world a better place that how we came to it”, but they needed some help when it came to their payroll department. Enter Avero!
Joanne Taylor is the CFO of B&B, and one of the departments she oversees is accounting and payroll, where over 50% of her payroll team’s time (120 hours a week) was being spent solely on processing weekly payroll. All in all, Joanne’s team spent the first half of their week focusing on finalizing payroll for the previous week. Joanne knew there had to be a better way to improve accountability and transparency, reduce errors, and streamline processes to save her team time, so she turned to the Avero Payroll Link, which provides a seamless integration between restaurant labor systems and payroll systems such as BenefitMall.
By implementing the Avero Payroll Link solution, Joanne has cut down the time spent on payroll by 50%, or 60 hours per week. Plus, the new process has eliminated any manual re-keying for the payroll team, which has reduced errors significantly. Now more than ever, Joanne and her team have more transparency across the company’s labor expenses and higher accountability to maintain a clean POS for a clean payroll. With the Avero Payroll Link in place, Joanne and her payroll team can now focus on valuable analyses to work on moving the business forward and improving the employee experience to continue to innovate and maintain B&B’s leadership in the F&B industry.
