LABOR SCHEDULING
Create Staff Schedules Instantly
The foodservice industry workforce is
notorious for its high rates of turnover and large pool of part-time
workers with limited availability.
Scheduling this workforce to fit the ebb and flow of the restaurant
business on a daily, weekly and seasonal basis has always been one of
the biggest headaches faced by managers and business owners alike.
How It Works
With clever codes for jobs, skills, and scheduling preferences, you
can easily capture the parameters for each employee. For example, it’s
actually simple to consider the nuances you must take into account –
like the fact that Sally can work on Monday, Wednesday, Friday evenings,
all day Saturday and ideally, wants to work about 20 hours per week. And
that Sally is a great waitress, but an even better hostess.
Then you enter the desired staffing levels for each job category (i.e.,
how many waitresses, cooks, bartenders you need for different times each
day). With the press of a button, Restaurant Manager™ generates the work
schedule for you. The automatic work schedule uses different colors to
highlight problem conditions, such as an employee going into overtime,
or periods when you are under- or overstaffed.
Of course, you can still manually assign individual employees to
specific shifts. But even then the software provides visual cues to help
you meet projected workloads, avoid availability conflicts, and monitor
overtime conditions.
Once the schedule is built, the system will automatically notify
employees of their schedules via email.
An Invaluable Planning Tool
The Labor Scheduling module allows managers to plan ahead and then
analyze their plans and projections – you can evaluate the mix of cooks
and cashiers, or adjust for a holiday rush, and so on. It also provides
critical cost controls; it’s easy to compare payroll budgets with actual
dollars spent or graph labor costs as a percentage of sales, etc.
Labor Scheduling is one module that owners and managers from all types
of foodservice depend on. Once you enter your needs and each employee’s
strengths and preferences, the software will make sure you’re covered.
Labor Scheduling rapidly pays for itself by streamlining this complex
weekly chore. |
