Background

‍

Located in the heart of Manchester, Brickhouse Social offers a unique blend of entertainment, dining, and social experiences. With a dynamic environment and high customer turnover, maintaining compliance and admin, whilst properly communicating with the team was a constant challenge.

‍

Before adopting Aquaint, Brickhouse Social relied on the Trail app for their compliance and administrative needs. However, the staff found the system clunky and time-consuming. The need for a more intuitive and efficient solution became apparent as the team struggled with:

• Ensuring compliance tasks got done properly.
• Time-consuming administrative tasks.
• Lack of insightful analytics for informed decision-making.
• Lack of product vision, the Trail app was basic and hadn’t changed in 3yrs

Since implementing Aquaint, Brickhouse Social has experienced:

• Increased Efficiency: Admin tasks are now completed in half the time, freeing up staff to focus on customer service and other critical areas

• Cost Savings: Reduced admin time has resulted in significant cost savings, amounting to hundreds of pounds.

• Enhanced Compliance: The addition of things such as incident reports with photo attachments has resulted in thousands of pounds saved on insurance claims

• Higher Staff Satisfaction: Staff find Aquaint easier to use, which has improved their overall job satisfaction and productivity.
