Pizza Hut transfers to Ceridian Centrefile’s HR and Payroll solution

Pizza Hut (UK) has signed a 5-year contract to use Ceridian Centrefile’s integrated HR and payroll bureau service to pay its 21,700 employees. The solution includes the capability to deliver self-service access to nearly 600 restaurant managers, providing online data entry and access to management information. The payroll has been live with Ceridian Centrefile since January.

The solution is delivered as a hosted service, whereby Ceridian Centrefile manages and supports the IT processing environment at a secure datacentre, providing Pizza Hut with full online access to their HR and Payroll database. In addition to payroll processing, the functionality selected by Pizza Hut includes employee management, recruitment, training, absence management and self-service.

Keith Adams, Director of Information Technology for Pizza Hut, says:

Our prime objective was to enhance the business processes and the internal service we provide. By consolidating all our employee data into one central database, we can now provide online access for all managers to reliable and up-to-date information, which will help us to manage the business more effectively.

We chose a hosted service so that the solution would be implemented and continue to be delivered with minimal impact on our own IT resources, leaving them free to support our core service delivery systems.

Successful large scale and business critical projects, such as this one, require not only the tireless commitment, skill and dedication of the project team, but also the emergence of a strong and balanced customer-vendor partnership. This project has without doubt benefited from both.

Nigel Polglass, Managing Director of Ceridian HR products & services, says:

I am delighted that such a major brand as Pizza Hut has chosen Ceridian Centrefile, confirming our position as the leading supplier of HR services to the retail sector. Our solutions are extremely efficient at handling the typically high volume of transactions, and providing the cost and management information required to support the successful management of these fast-moving businesses. We now process the payrolls for over half a million high street employees, including Woolworths, ASDA, Lloyds TSB and many others.
