Know your labor costs before you publish.

See labor spending as you schedule.

  • Sales forecasting shows daily revenue. Your last two weeks of sales forecast what to expect each day, helping you schedule without overstaffing.
  • Labor percentage tracking displays spending. See your scheduled labor as a percentage of forecasted sales, showing when you're over or under target.
  • Break time subtracts automatically. Unpaid breaks come out of scheduled hours and costs, so forecasts reflect actual wages paid instead of total time.

Schedule according to your budget targets.

Set different goals for different days.

  • See when you're over target. The schedule shows when shifts push you over your target labor percentage, giving you time to adjust before publishing.
  • Department breakdowns identify spending. See labor costs separately for different departments, pinpointing where adjustments help most.
  • Weather shows in the builder. View upcoming weather for each day in the schedule, helping you anticipate slow days during bad weather or busy summer days
