Why a Burnaby venue would use it
- BC rules in the schedule. Overtime after 8 hours a day and 40 a week, 8 hours off between shifts, the 32-hour weekly rest and the 2-hour minimum are checked as you build the week. See BC scheduling rules.
- Local suppliers, real prices. Forward the bills from your produce, dairy, coffee and liquor suppliers; Desk reads every line with GST and PST and flags price rises.
- FoodSafe on every shift. Certificates with expiry dates, a daily check that someone on shift holds a valid FoodSafe, and a printable binder for when the inspector visits.
- Stat holidays. BC’s 11 stat holidays are built in and costed in labour. See BC stat holiday pay.
Running a food business in Burnaby: useful contacts
- Health inspections and food premises permits: Burnaby is in the Fraser Health region, whose environmental health officers permit and inspect food premises in the city.
- Business licence: issued by the City of Burnaby.
- Employment rules: the BC Employment Standards Branch.
- Liquor service: staff serving alcohol need Serving It Right; Desk tracks it with the other certificates.
Neighbourhoods
Metrotown, Brentwood, Edmonds, Lougheed, Burnaby Heights and Capitol Hill each have their own rush: office lunch, transit commuters, evenings by the malls, weekends on Hastings. Desk forecasts each day from your own sales history, so the schedule follows your street, not an average.
