INTRODUCTION

Payroll fit for purpose

Shane Musarra is the founder of Dux Nuts, a trivia and quiz show provider that hosts game nights in over 50 venues across the greater Perth region, Western Australia.

Shane can sometimes hardly believe that Dux Nuts is where it is now. How did all this happen? One night, the trivia host at his local pub announced they were moving and that if anyone could take over. Looking to impress a girl, Shane took on the job. Since then, he and the girl have parted ways, but Dux Nuts has stuck.

With over 50 employees, Dux Nuts has been busier than ever delivering a new show each night. Shane makes sure that his shows are people first.

“It’s not just about the questions we ask, but making sure that our hosts are personable and will connect with the crowd that comes in.”

THE CHALLENGE

Business owners know they need to be flexible and adapt to any situation

Dux Nuts has never missed a show, but that doesn’t mean everything runs smoothly all the time. When you run a business, something always needs to be solved or fixed on the spot. Shane knows that when Dux Nuts runs a show, anything can happen. Whether there is a technical issue or a last-minute call-in, Shane and his employees have the experience to adapt quickly.

With over 50 casual staff, juggling payroll and rosters isn’t easy. On top of that, Shane is always on the move; whether out of the office or overseas, Shane needs quick solutions available at the tip of his fingers to keep his business running.

“We run it ourselves as well, so we don’t have a bookkeeper. That’s because the interface is fast, user-friendly, and makes sense. It has been able to grow with us, scale with us, and save us a lot of time and money.”

OUR SOLUTION

I don’t have to be at my desk to run payroll. I’ve been able to manage our payroll from the lobby of a hotel with no interruption and no errors.

Since joining Reckon, Shane has never looked back. Dux Nuts has been using Reckon Payroll and accounting for over a decade.

“We use Reckon for basically all of the financial management of our organisation, and to date, in 10–12 years, we’ve never once had an issue with our accountant saying, “Oh, something doesn’t look right.”

Because of Reckon, Shane doesn’t have to worry about spending hours on invoicing and payroll every week. With peace of mind, Shane can focus on running the best quiz shows in Perth.
