FAQ
Why is labor cost important in restaurant operation?
Labor cost directly affects profitability. If staff scheduling does not match sales by time period, profit can drop even when sales are stable.
Should owner working hours be included?
Yes. Owner workload should be reviewed because excessive owner labor may hide the true operating cost.
Can this tool replace payroll or legal advice?
No. This tool provides a basic operational review. Payroll, labor law, tax, and contract issues should be reviewed with qualified professionals when needed.
