Why it matters
Without a labor model, scheduling is guesswork. There's no systematic connection between how much business you expect and how many people you need. Managers over-staff to be safe, or under-staff and hurt service.
Rightwork builds custom labor models for each of your locations using your actual data. Labor drivers link sales to staffing needs, labor standards define the work required, and proficiency adjustments account for team skill levels, so every schedule is grounded in reality.
See how it worksHow it works
Define the relationship between sales volume and labor needs. As demand goes up, staffing targets adjust automatically based on your custom driver model.
Set standards for opening, closing, item production, and service tasks. Version and publish standards so you can test changes before rolling them out.
Account for team experience levels. A team of experts needs fewer hours than a team of new hires for the same workload.
Every location is different. Override company-wide models at the store level to account for layout, volume patterns, or local conditions.
Every staffing decision is grounded in your actual sales data and operational requirements. Models are tuned to each store's unique characteristics, and they get more accurate as you refine them with real-world feedback.
