In short

How do I track labor cost against sales for every shift automatically?

Every Monday, WebRun opens Restroworks, pulls clocked hours, wage cost, and sales for every shift and outlet from the past week, and calculates labor cost as a percentage of sales for each one. It flags any shift over its target, posts the ranked summary to Microsoft Teams, and logs the full breakdown to Google Sheets.

  • Labor cost against sales is visible by shift every Monday, not discovered at payroll
  • Every shift running over its target is flagged instead of averaged away
  • 4 weeks of trend ride along, so a slow creep in labor cost is caught early

Questions, answered

Does it change any schedule or clocked time?

No. WebRun only reads the clocked hours, wage cost, and sales Restroworks already has. It never edits a schedule, a timesheet, or a shift, so the source records stay exactly as recorded.

How does it decide a shift is over target?

It compares each shift's labor cost percentage against the target already set for that outlet in Restroworks, so a busy outlet with a higher target is not unfairly flagged next to a quieter one with a lower target.

Can it show whether labor cost is trending up or down?

Yes. The Google Sheets tracker keeps the prior 4 weeks visible alongside the current week, so a slow rise in labor cost at one outlet is visible as a trend, not just a single week's number.
