Questions, answered
Can it tell me which roles are driving my labor costs up?
Yes - it breaks down labor cost by role (FOH, BOH, management) so you can see exactly where the percentage is running high.
What is a good labor percentage target for a restaurant?
Typically 28–35% of net sales, but it varies by concept. Set your target in the plan and WebRun will flag any week that misses it.
Will it update my scheduling or rostering tool?
Not automatically - it informs you so you can adjust the next schedule yourself. Add a rostering integration if you want WebRun to suggest shifts too.
