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.
