Know your restaurant's labor cost before the month ends
Labor cost is the number that decides your month. ShiftPriority shows it to you live — scheduled hours against real revenue — so you can act before service, not after the numbers land.

Labor cost is usually a guess until it's too late
Most small restaurants only find out their real labor cost when payroll lands next month — long after the schedule that caused it.
The numbers arrive too late to act on
By the time payroll is run, the week that overspent is already over.
Scheduling happens blind
Without live cost feedback, it's easy to overstaff a quiet shift or understaff a busy one.
Revenue and wages live in different tools
Sales sit in the POS, hours sit in the schedule — nobody's comparing them in real time.
Owners and managers see different things
Sensitive cost and revenue numbers shouldn't be visible to everyone with schedule access.
Labor cost as a percentage of revenue, live
ShiftPriority calculates labor cost the way owners actually track it: scheduled hours × hourly rate, against real revenue — updated continuously, not once a month.
One number, always current
Labor cost % = (scheduled hours × hourly rate) ÷ revenue, recalculated as the schedule and sales change.
Revenue and wage trends side by side
See daily, weekly, and monthly revenue next to labor cost on one dashboard.
Owner-only financial view
Full revenue and labor-cost figures are visible to the owner role; managers see the operational schedule without exposing sensitive numbers.
