Labour is your largest controllable cost and the one you hear about last. By the time the payroll run arrives, the extra person on Tuesday lunch is a fact you can no longer change.
The rota says 6 hours. The time card says 7. The 10 minutes early, the 20 minutes late off and the Friday that quietly ran an hour over add up across a team, and on paper nobody sees it until the month has closed.
Hours worked mean nothing on their own. The number that matters is hours against what the venue took while they were being worked. One quiet lunch carries 3 people and takes 2 people's worth, and one busy Saturday runs short and turns covers away at the door.
Shift4 payment infrastructure
$200B+
Shift4 build and support the technology, with support around the clock. The account, the quote and the relationship are with us.
Staff clock in and out on the till, so the time card is built from what happened. Overtime shows while the shift is still running, when you can still act on it. Labour percentage sits beside sales by day, by shift and by site, and payroll exports hours, pay rates and earnings without anybody retyping them.
Build the week by person or by job, copy shifts across days and save your standard week as a template. Staff accept, swap and cancel shifts in the app, so a 7am call off becomes one notification to everyone who could cover it, and the duty manager stops making 6 phone calls.

Yes. Labour percentage sits against takings by day, by shift and by site, so a quiet lunch carrying too many people shows up as a number.
