Labour & Productivity Review

Compare labour cost and paid hours with sales, demand and the way the operation works.

All services

WHAT IS IT?

A clear view.
A useful next step.

A review of labour spending and productivity that helps you understand when staffing patterns support trade and when deployment may be inefficient. We analyse and recommend changes to labour planning.

WHO IS IT FOR?

When it can help.

For owners whose labour feels expensive, whose sales fluctuate through the week, or who need to understand differences between shifts, departments or sites.

WHAT DO WE LOOK AT?

Inside the review.

Cost and hours

Labour cost and percentage of sales, employer costs where available, paid hours and average labour cost per hour.

Productivity

Sales per labour hour and productivity by day and part of the day.

How people are deployed

Front-of-house, back-of-house and management splits where available, and staffing patterns against trading patterns.

The wider pattern

Trends, site comparisons and whether operating hours and service needs explain the results.

WHAT DO YOU RECEIVE?

Something you
can work with.

The exact deliverables are agreed around your priorities and available information.

  • A labour and productivity breakdown with the cost coverage clearly stated.
  • Day and daypart comparisons, trends and site comparisons where possible.
  • Evidence-backed findings on deployment and planning opportunities.
  • Recommendations your management team can use when planning labour.

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?

Turn findings
into action.

Your management team decides how to apply the recommendations to labour planning and staffing. We can review the next period against sales and service needs to see whether the changes are working.
