Labour Management

SPLH, labour cost %, scheduling and productivity math.

About this topic

Labour Management calculators turn rosters and payroll into productivity KPIs. Sales per labour hour, labour cost percentage, wage cost and overtime exposure together let you match staffing to demand without over- or under-scheduling.

Why it matters

Labour is usually the second-largest cost in retail and the largest in foodservice. It is also the most controllable in the short term. Tight labour management means matching scheduled hours to forecast traffic by day-part — not running flat staffing across a week of uneven demand.
