Slow hour, full crew, and the till is barely moving.

Most of us guess at schedules and pay for people to stand around, then we are short the minute it gets busy.

This episode walks through a five-minute check that sets a sales-per-labor-hour target and shows who should be on and when.

It uses the numbers you already track and takes less time than making a drink.

You get a simple plan to cut waste, keep service tight, and put real money back in the drawer.

What You’ll Learn:
🌟 Why slow hours quietly drain cash even with lean crews.
🌟 How to set a sales per labor hour target without a spreadsheet.
🌟 The five-minute check that catches overstaffed shifts before they happen.
🌟 How yesterday’s sales patterns guide tomorrow’s staffing decisions.
🌟 Why busy nights still leak profit despite a full schedule.
🌟 How to handle surprise spikes without overspending during slow hours.
🌟 The one number managers need so everyone schedules the same way
