Utilizing your essential POS data…
Thirty Percent of Revenue…Give or Take.
- On average, restaurant labor costs are 30% of revenue.
- Costs vary by restaurant type. Certain fast food restaurants can achieve labor cost as low as 25%, while table service restaurants are more likely to see labor in the 35% range
- State minimum wage differentials and differences in tip credit allowances (toward minimum wage) affect the labor cost percentage
- Delivery adds a layer of complexity to labor operations, especially with driver time in-store vs driver time on the road, pay-per-mile, etc.
- Labor is divided between back of house (BOH) and front of house (FOH)
- BOH: staff making the food (chefs, etc.); FOH: staff serving the customers (cashiers, wait persons, etc.)
- In many states, FOH labor is less costly than BOH labor because many FOH staff is expected to earn tips
Amassing Labor Data…A Major Role of Your POS.
- A good POS takes customer orders, accounts for every sales dollar in and every sales dollar out, and accounts for staff work time.
