The girl & the fig Goes Live on STAFFeasy™, a Web-based System for Automated Staff and Event Scheduling and Notification
Irvine, Ca. – July 9, 2007 – PDSI, a leading provider of workforce scheduling automation solutions is pleased to announce the successful implementation of STAFFeasy for the catering division of the girl & the fig, based in Sonoma, CA.
The girl & the fig offers services ranging from box lunches and gourmet-on-the-go to casual and full-service special events catering. In addition to the catering division, the girl & the fig operates a restaurant. Both the restaurant and catering division specialize in rustic French cuisine.
STAFFeasy was selected to automate the process of scheduling staff into catering event positions, and to more efficiently relay work-related information to staff via the system’s e-mail communication feature.
“One of the best features of STAFFeasy is the ability to send a staffing request to my entire team with only one e-mail, and then STAFFeasy keeps track of who is working and where. It is very fast, and it is easy for me to log in from anywhere to see who has signed up,” stated Lora Salfi, Special Events Director, the girl & the fig.
