Technology and tools are meant to serve people, not the other way around. As we multiply apps, software, snd services in the name of optimization and ease, it can become harder to truly connect as we begin relying on these innovations to replace the very relationships that will sustain our coffee shops.
The tech for making the schedule in your cafe is one of these areas that has seen an enormous amount of growth and proliferation over the years. Amongst these options stands a company that has been consistently and decisively people focused, radically simple, and hospitality minded in their quest to truly serve their clients the way their clients serve guests. I am thrilled to be talking with Wil Brawley of Schedulefly!
Wil is Co-Owner of Schedulefly, a simple online restaurant employee scheduling platform that has served over 17,000 independent hospitality businesses since 2007. He is also host of the Restaurant Owners Uncorked podcast and author of two Restaurant Owners Uncorked books.
In this conversation we will be talking about the genesis of Schedulefly, how they have stayed simple and effective for these past 16 years, and what Wil has learned as he has built relationships with and heard the stories of cafe and restaurant owners.
We cover:
The story of Schedulefly The schedule's role in your businesses operation Why integrations are not all they are cracked up to be What hospitality looks like between service provider and client Leaning into relationships The art of saying no and knowing who you are Lessons Will has gleaned form interviews on the podcast and in writing his books The need for simple people first hospitality and systems
