Report labor cost as a percentage of sales for every location weekly

Every Monday, WebRun opens Revel Systems, reads the prior week's labor hours, pay rates, and net sales for every location, calculates labor-to-sales percentage for each, compares it against your target, and writes the full comparison report to Google Sheets so you can spot overstaffing or understaffing before it repeats.

In short

How do I automatically track labor cost as a percentage of sales across all my locations?

WebRun reads Revel Systems labor hours, pay rates, and net sales for every location each Monday, calculates labor cost as a percentage of net sales, and writes the comparison to Google Sheets with variance flags. Operators see which locations are over or under their labor target without pulling a single manual report.

  • Weekly labor-to-sales percentage visible for every location without manual calculation
  • Over-target locations flagged in color every Monday before the new week begins
  • Historical labor trend data accumulates automatically in one Google Sheet

Questions, answered

Does it include all employee types or only hourly staff?

It reads all labor tracked in Revel Systems, including hourly and salaried employees who are clocked into the system. You can configure it to exclude specific job types if needed.

Can it break down labor by role or department within a location?

Yes. If Revel is configured with job titles or departments, WebRun can break the labor percentage down by role so you can see whether front-of-house or back-of-house is the cost driver.

Will it alert me immediately if a location goes over target mid-week?

This template runs weekly. For real-time labor alerts, you can set up a daily version that checks cumulative weekly labor cost versus pace, flagging locations tracking above target before the week closes.
