Put labor beside sales.
See your reported labor percentage, then compare it with a target you choose. No account, upload or industry target required.
What the percentage means
Reported labor cost ÷ net sales × 100. A higher percentage can reflect lower sales, more paid hours, a different wage mix or a change in which costs are included. It does not, by itself, establish overstaffing.
Example: sales fell while hours rose
In Weekly’s fictional sample, sales fell from $42,000 to $40,000 while reported labor increased from $13,440 to $14,000. Labor share moved from 32% to 35%. The next step is to compare the affected weekdays and service requirements, rather than make an automatic cut.
Find the days behind the number.
Weekly’s free review compares supported sales and labor summaries, separates customer volume from spending and points to specific days to investigate.
