This article provides steps to locate the hourly breakdown in our Labor SvA report.

Overview

Decision Logic provides users an hourly breakdown of labor and sales in our Labor SvA report to support operators in analyzing sales forecasting and scheduling.

Users can view how each hour of the day contributes to overall labor.

When labor data is missing, users will need to clear and re-run labor data from the End of Day page.

Info

Payroll must be opened or not yet posted before users can clear and re-run labor in the End of Day.

Data is categorized into three main sections:

  • Sales

  • Hours

  • Labor %

Sales Category & Calculations

The sales category provides data for forecasted sales, actual sales, and the variance between forecasted and actual sales. The data is then broken down by the hour when selected "View By Hour." Sales will change throughout the day as more people purchase at the selected store.

Additionally, the side panel shows an overview of that day's total forecasted and actual sales.

Actual

No calculation. The actual sales at that particular store are displayed by the hour.

Variance

Hours Category & Calculations

The ‘hours' category provides data on scheduled hours, actual hours, ideal hours, scheduled variance, and ideal variance. Each column displays data for each hour of sales. Hours will change throughout the day as employees clock in and out of their shifts. The side panel will provide a total for each column within the Hours section and users can toggle between Hours and Dollars. The default is 'Hours.’

Brands will need to utilize hourly labor templates for the Ideal column to populate. Include all jobs if you want that data displayed. By default, only jobs marked “include” in POS Admin will be shown.
