Your second-biggest cost after food. List your team's hours and rates, add on-costs, and see your true labour cost and wage % against sales.
Labour is your second-biggest cost after food, and the on-costs are where it hides. List your team's hours and rates, add NI, pension and holiday, and see your true labour cost and wage percentage against sales — compared to your target.
The point is timing: seeing the wage % mid-week, while the rota can still change, instead of at payroll.
Restaurants, cafés and pubs writing their own rotas. A worked example is built in so you can see a full week before entering your own.
