To turn a labour ratio into a number a rota can be built against.
Labour percentage is a result; the rota is the decision. Sales per labour hour is closer to the decision, because it can be compared across shifts and used when building a schedule.
Enter revenue, total labour cost and hours scheduled for the same period, and the calculator returns labour percentage, average cost per hour and sales per labour hour.
How to read this
Compare sales per labour hour across shifts rather than against an external figure. The useful question is which shift is out of line with your own others, and why.
