Tom Sellers, the Michelin-starred chef, will advise on the food, service and setting. The restaurant, which is called Six thanks to its location on the sixth floor of the media centre, is due to open in March. 

 

Lisa Pursehouse, the Chief Executive of Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club said: "We have spent months talking to chefs and restauranteurs to support this project, but Tom’s desire to make a contribution in his hometown off the back of his success elsewhere stood him apart.

 

"It’s our name above the door, but we’re delighted to have him advising in the background where his influence has already been invaluable.

 

"This is about more than food for Tom. We share a desire to give young people a chance and to make a real contribution to Nottingham.

 

"That encompasses opening a restaurant unlike anything else in the city and weaving in opportunities for young talent to contribute in the kitchen and front of house."

 

Tom Sellers said: "I’ve always had an ambition to do something in Nottingham and this feels like the right time and the right fit.

 

"With a focus on developing young talent from the Nottingham area, I hope opportunities will be provided to young chefs to follow their dreams and carve out a career in the industry like I have.

 

"It’s unusual for me to come along at a stage where big elements of the concept have already been developed, and Six is a Trent Bridge restaurant with me advising in the background rather than the other way around.

 

"We hope people enjoy Six for what it is. There is room in every city for independent restaurants that combine the right food, service and setting. Put simply, that’s what we’re working on together to achieve."

Most restaurants still rely on employees to fill in handwritten timesheets stating their hours worked. Getting employees to retrospectively record their hours worked directly onto paper is not only open to fraud and mistakes, it also makes room for human error further up the chain, and it can be a massive drain on your office and payroll staff who have to approve and type up all the information.

 

Managers also have to collect and approve all the timesheets. A study has shown that this can take more than 15 minutes per employee. Those numbers quickly mount up! 

 

Thankfully there’s an easy solution. A workforce management system from Time and Attendance Midlands would bring your attendance systems up to date and reduce workloads considerably.

 

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). 

If the premises cannot support a physical terminal, then we offer a web/app version called the Self Service Module. If employees use their phones to clock in, employees can mark their location using GPS. This is useful for keeping track of remote workers.

 

The clock-in data is collected in our WinTA.NET software, where it can be easily viewed by anyone with the right permission, and it can be exported straight to common payroll systems such as Sagepay. 

 

Our system makes monitoring attendance and working hours quick, simple and accurate. To find out more, please get in touch today.
