Starbucks franchise 23.5 Degrees selects intuitive HR software from elementsuite

One of Starbucks largest UK Licensees, 23.5 Degrees, with 86 stores and 1,800 partners, selects elementsuite’s leading edge HR software. With a unique reputation for delivering intuitive, mobile-first employee self-service, elementsuite has been selected to simplify the HR and workforce management complexities within a Starbucks franchise.

Delivering exceptional and efficient customer service is paramount for 23.5 Degrees, which means more efficiently joining up HR processes with schedules to get the right partners (staff) in the right place at the right time. With the deployment of elementsuite HR software, all partners are able to access rotas, request shift swaps, share availability access their payslips, and update their absences and personal records. The partner experience is intuitive, natural and branded to 23.5 Degrees.

“We are just as passionate about our partner experience as we are about our customers” says Barry Mulholland, COO at 23.5 Degrees. “We need to intimately manage the scheduling of our partners to align with the different revenue streams we have in this age, from Drive Thru, Café, Mobile Order & Pay & Delivery. This system will allow us to continue to deliver exceptional customer service, ensuring we meet the demands of an ever-changing business across all of our 86 stores. This, along with our aggressive growth trajectory, with us on track to open 30 new stores every year, further meant that we needed a solution that will scale and adapt to our changing needs.”

“Our challenge was to find an HR solution that meets the business needs right now and allows us to scale up our growth plans based upon our franchise model. elementsuite’s full employee life-cycle solution will save us valuable time, and remove our work-around processes. We’ve found an end-to-end solution with elementsuite that enables us to schedule staff across multiple locations to meet demand easily, give them access 24/7 and that’s personalised and engaging too. We’ve not seen another HR software provider who can bring all these elements together in such a neat package that we know our staff will love.” says Barry.

“We’re thrilled to have been selected by 23.5 Degrees. We’ve worked hard to deliver an innovative solution that simplifies the complexities associated with a multi-location, shift based, franchise business.” Says Steve Elcock, CEO at elementsuite. “Our agile software, is nimble and can quickly adapt to the changing business needs within a complex franchise organisation, alongside providing assurances for legislative updates such as control of minimum wage.
