The site at at Gunwharf Quays would be their first South Coast premises. 

 

Manchester law firm Kuits Solicitors demonstrated to Portsmouth Council’s licensing sub-committee that The Alchemist moving into the area would not disrupt the local residents.

 

As a result of this, the new bar was given permission to open until 12.30am from Sunday to Wednesday and until 1.30am from Thursday to Saturday.

 

Ingram said: "We produced evidence to show that The Alchemist is an exceptional operation and, contrary to concerns raised by local residents, is a concept and environment which attracts more discerning customers who are looking for a relaxed food and drink experience.

 

"We’re delighted to be working with The Alchemist team on all of their premises and supporting them with their growth plans as they continue to expand across the country."

Most pubs 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, deliberate attempts to commit wage fraud, but it can also 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 Southern 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. 

 

Instead, the information would be gathered in real-time and stored in an easy to use centralised system, where it can be checked by supervisors for validity, exported to payroll systems such as Sagepay, or made into reports using our report wizard and advanced report creating facility.

 

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). If a physical clocking terminal is not suitable for your premises (for example if you rent and cannot change the wiring) then we can also offer our online/mobile app Self Service module.
