How is the labour-cost percentage calculated?

The labour-cost percentage is calculated as labour costs divided by revenue and multiplied by 100. The data basis must be defined the same in both numbers.

Does the calculation use planned or actual hours?

You can follow a planned labour-cost percentage before the shift and an actual labour-cost percentage when hours and revenue have been recorded.

Can revenue be retrieved from POS or loaded via report?

Revenue can be used via a confirmed connection or an agreed report format. The option depends on the POS system.

Can labour-cost percentage be followed per day, department and location?

Yes, when revenue and labour costs are matched to the same periods and units.

Is a low labour-cost percentage always positive?

No. Too little staffing can harm service and sales, so the figure must be seen together with operations and quality.

How is the history used in the next shift schedule?

Compare demand, planned hours and actual results to adjust staffing for similar periods.

Staffing must match demand

Too many hours during quiet periods increase the labour-cost percentage. Too few employees during busy periods harm service and sales. The schedule and revenue therefore need to be viewed together.
