Know what every hour costs before you open.
Plan the week across every venue and see the wage bill against the takings it has to earn, while you can still change it.
The rota prices itself.
Move a shift and the wage cost and your labour percentage against target move with it, hour by hour, before anyone works it.

The rules are checked before you publish.
Maximum weekly hours and the rest between shifts are checked when the rota goes out, not after payroll. Publishing it and telling your team are two separate steps.
Real takings, not estimates.
With your till connected*, sales per hour sit on the same chart as the staff you planned, tips reach payroll, and you can ask which shifts cost more than they brought in.
*We have integrated Barsy, and we are working on more tills.

Which shifts cost more than they brought in last month?
Weekend evenings are where the margin went. On most of them the hours worked ran over what the schedule planned, and on several the extra staff were called in after service had started.
The pattern is strongest in the weeks where the schedule was changed after it was published.
