People, productivity and payroll software provider S4labour supports Only A Pavement Away’s new training Cafés. The charity is preparing to open training Cafés across the UK and are launching this Spring.

S4labour will provide their software for Only A Pavement Away’s Cafés, helping with their people management needs. Their training Cafés will be staffed by Only A Pavement Away Members and an experienced management team. The sites will allow those helped by Only A Pavement Away receive training, qualifications and experience to help individuals rebuild their lives through the hospitality industry. 

Greg Mangham, Founder of Only A Pavement Away, said: “The concept of the Only A Pavement Away Café is to prepare its Members for work in the hospitality industry. The support & involvement of S4labour will add a level of knowledge and business acumen that many coming into the industry won’t possess. The use of S4labour will give the Members an understanding of forecasting and skills to run a profitable business.”

Richard Hartley, Chief Innovation Officer of S4labour, said: “The Cafés initiative from Only A Pavement Away is a terrific cause and has helping those in need at the heart of it. Giving people this opportunity to work and grow in a hospitality environment is so important to everyone here at S4labour. We’re all determined to see this initiative give those facing homelessness, prison leavers and veterans the right operational skills for a successful career in hospitality.”
