Bruntwood Works plans to transform a vacant four-storey building within the Castle Street Conservation Area and the Liverpool Maritime Mercantile City World Heritage Site.

 

The eatery’s brand name when it launches will be Abditory. This is a 17th century word for a storage place, or somewhere to hide valuable items, originating from the Latin word for “to hide”. 

 

Abditory will serve a range of toasties and deli boards, accompanied by cocktails and German draft lager. It will have floor-to-ceiling doors and outdoor seating in summer. 

 

The bar will be operated by Camp & Furnace founder Steven Burgess and Josh Moore.

 

Burgess said: "This is a bar that we want to go to. We want it to be a place we are proud of and can bring our wives, girlfriends, partners and workmates of an evening and enjoy a decent drink without the hassle.

 

"Everything in Abditory will mean something to us, from the names of drinks to the soundtrack to the toasty fillings. We could not be more excited about having our own place in the city centre."

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 administration and payroll staff who have to approve and type up all the information.

 

A workforce management system from Time and Attendance North West 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.

 

Finally, and perhaps most convincingly if you have employees from the EU, the European Court of Justice has just ruled that all companies need to accurately and reliably measure the duration of time worked every day by their employees. We can provide multiple different language packs to help you fulfil this requirement if you have employees over on the Continent.
