Labor is often the highest variable cost in a restaurant. Static, recurring schedules fail to account for the dynamic nature of the business. Data-driven scheduling is the solution.
Forecasting Demand
Modern scheduling software integrates with your POS to overlay sales forecasts with labor needs. This predicts exactly how many servers and line cooks are needed for Friday night versus Tuesday lunch, down to 15-minute increments.
Empowering Employees
Give staff control with mobile apps that allow them to swap shifts, set availability, and request time off. This flexibility reduces burnout and turnover, which is costly to efficiency.
Compliance and Overtime
Automated rules prevent managers from accidentally scheduling staff into overtime or violating break laws, protecting the business from costly labor violations.
