Founded in 2014 by Nick Pring and Malc Heap, Urban Pubs & Bars now runs 57 premises around London with over 1,200 staff, seasonal hires, and both weekly and monthly payrolls.
Shifts vary week to week, and the team wanted to keep payroll in house. They wanted licensing flexibility and a system fit for rapid growth.
Urban Pubs & Bars upgraded to Sage People Payroll for a modern, user friendly experience that centralises key information—covering pensions and the P11D module—while meeting licensing needs.
Implementation was designed so colleagues wouldn’t notice a change, ensuring day to day work was uninterrupted.
Sage People Payroll replaced manual effort with speed. Payslips are now sent “at the click of a button.”
Sage People Payroll’s reporting met complex needs better than alternatives and confirmed the decision to upgrade.
The team can also start payrolling benefits for next year, supported by software that gives them what they need.
