How are you determining what your labor should be? What is good and what is bad?

We help organizations set up labor structures, for example, labor guideline controls that work for their business model operationally and financially. Our custom labor guideline-based scheduling models are the intersection of the desired labor margin, your wage rates, and the respective hour categories needed to make up these guidelines. Moreover, we take it further and analyze HOW the labor is arrived at to create custom labor guidelines that both control labor costs and are possible to achieve. It doesn’t do any good to tell your team to hit 20% labor and then not only not tell them exactly how but create a structure in which it is impossible to meet the numbers. We put together a guideline structure that allows for team success and ultimately financial success.  

Leverage the 25 years of experience and academic and operational backgrounds of our team to create a structure for your organization.

These structures can work not only for restaurants but many other types of businesses including retail, gyms, spas, salons, etc. Any business relying on a larger number of staff with variable sales and staff levels can benefit from this type of planning.

This labor control planning is key for any organization, small or large, chain or franchisee system. Controlling your costs systematically is a key foundation of a business process.
