Labor
Getting the right amount of labor is a key part of maximizing profits.
The number of hours impacts staff satisfaction in terms of making the money they need and having a job that is not overbearing. The conflict with having enough help, at the right time without having too much is a key to success.

Accountability & Coaching
Having a good schedule is step one. Ensuring the staff work the scheduled hours provides accountability and supervisory insights. Managers want to drive sales, keep profits high, and help staff feel the workload is fair. Auditing the actual hours to the schedule allows mistakes to be addressed and helps supervisors know what needs to be better moving forward.
