Cafe opens in Cardiff Bay

Regional Cafe chain Coffi Co’s ‘Gin and Bake’ concept will open in the Mermaid Quay development in Cardiff Bay.

The company already has a Coffi Co cafe located in the same businesses area.

The Gin and Bake shop, along with Coffi Co’s other premises, have been ‘open’ for takeaway throughout the lockdown via an app, with home delivery included. A 732 sq ft external seating area is planned as soon as COVID19 restrictions permit it. There will be a live bakery and a secret gin garden for customers to enjoy sitting outside.

Carty said: “We are focused on building a business that combines the key ingredients of a great leisure driven location, welcoming atmosphere and the very best coffee, freshly baked cakes and of course gin. 

“We’re keen to continue with our growth strategy by focusing on continually improving and expanding our offer in new and exiting leisure driven locations across South Wales.”

Many restaurants and cafes still rely on employees to fill in handwritten timesheets or daily sign-in sheets to monitor 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 Wales would bring your attendance systems up to date and reduce workloads considerably.

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.
