Sales and Labor Management

The 'Sales vs Labor Costs' feature allows you to see your scheduled labor costs as a percentage of your forecasted sales.

If you have a premium subscription you have the ability to manually import sales and SocialSchedules will produce sales forecasts automatically for you.

Scheduler > Sales vs Labor Cost
​

Input forecasted sales directly into the 'Projected Sales' row. Labor costs are automatically calculated from the schedule and labor costs are shown as a percentage of sales.

Manually entered sales are automatically repeated to subsequent weeks.

Sales forecasting is available as a premium feature. Forecasts are produced based on historical sales data; entered either via manual upload or API integration with POS account.  When projected sales are manually entered those values will not be overwritten by forecasted sales.

Sales forecasts are generated using historical sales data from your location.

The forecast is based on the same day actual sales data reported during the preceding 4 weeks of the day being forecast. This allows SocialSchedules to identify recent sales patterns for the same day of the week and create a more accurate projection for upcoming schedules.

For example:

This approach helps ensure forecasts reflect your location’s most recent sales performance and provides a reliable baseline when planning schedules and managing labor costs.
