Your labor cost is one of the highest expenses for your restaurant, typically taking up to 25-35% of revenue. Many factors can increase restaurant labor costs: inefficient schedules, overtime hours, or even rising wages. Because sales and labor needs can change by the hour, day, week, and month, it can be difficult to control your labor budget over time.
