Activity-Based Scheduling gives managers the ability to base their Labor % on projected sales for their specific department sales and allows for a per schedule analysis to cut labor expense. For example, this would be useful if you were writing a BOH schedule and wanted to only see the generated sales projections, which would only reflect the Food departments.
Activity-Based Scheduling allows the manager more control of having the right people on staff, to calculate an accurate server to customer ratio, and to analyze the anticipated sales, down to each department.
Consider the scenario where a manager wants the Kitchen and Server schedules to be based on different department sales.
Department | Department Sales | Kitchen Schedule | Server Schedule |
---|---|---|---|
Food | $1000 | X | X |
Liquor | $500 | X | |
Catering | $250 | X | |
Total Sales | $1750 | $1250 | $1500 |
The departments are configured using the Labor Setup page in Decision Logic:
If you do not want to manually update the Sales Forecasts, then you can select Generate sales, and all projected sales will be used.
Labor Forecasting:
Department | Department Sales | Department Sales Override |
---|---|---|
Food | $1000 | (1000 / 1750) * 2000 = $1142.86 |
Liquor | $500 | (500 / 1750) * 2000 = $571.43 |
Catering | $250 | (250 / 1750) * 2000 = $285.71 |
Total Sales | $1750 | $2000 |
When viewing the Projections section at the bottom of Labor Scheduler, the Schedule Sales values will update accordingly:
Department | Department Sales Override | Kitchen Schedule | Server Schedule |
---|---|---|---|
Food | $1142.86 | X | X |
Liquor | $571.43 | X | |
Catering | $285.71 | X | |
Total Sales | $2000 | $1428.57 | $1714.29 |
