Staff Scheduling & Labor Analysis — AI for Staff Training & Operations Manuals

# Staff Scheduling & Labor Analysis

Smart scheduling is not about cutting labor — it is about matching the right amount of talent to the right amount of demand.

Labor Analysis & Optimization

Analyze the following labor data and identify optimization opportunities:

[Paste weekly schedule data with:]
- Day of week
- Shift (AM/PM)
- Position (server, bartender, host, busser, cook, dishwasher)
- Hours scheduled
- Actual hours worked
- Revenue for the shift
- Covers (guests served)

Analysis should include:
1. LABOR COST PERCENTAGE by day and shift
   - Which days/shifts are over-staffed (high labor %, low productivity)?
   - Which are under-staffed (low labor %, potentially hurting service)?

2. COVERS-PER-LABOR-HOUR by position
   - Front-of-house efficiency metrics
   - Back-of-house efficiency metrics
   - Comparison to industry benchmarks
