Today So FarRefreshed ~1 PM

Sales so far

$301 vs today’s sales target of $1,450

Pace read

Behind — $301 is about 21% of the $1,450 target with the morning and lunch window passed

Labor used so far

7.32 hrs · $109.95 vs 28 hrs scheduled today and the 25-hr Wednesday budget at the 28% target

Labor % so far

36.53% vs the 28% target

Labor % excludes GM salary — Liam is salaried and not in 7shifts labor cost, so labor % understates true labor.

Tomorrow

Thu Oct 22 — 30.5 hrs scheduled ($349.50) against the 25-hr Thursday budget, so the day starts 5.5 hrs over before it opens. Morgan Young is on at Owings Mills. Full names and times post with tomorrow’s 8 AM update.

Fix the Reds

Red 1 Labor 33.77% vs 28% target (Tue Oct 20)
  • Learn from yesterday: hours ran long on a $1,376 day. Don’t repeat it today.
  • Send crew home in slow stretches in rotation, fairly — don’t carry full coverage through lulls.
  • Use slow stretches for side work and pre-close so the close is not stacked with hours.
Red 2 Scheduled 28 hrs vs 25-hr Wednesday budget today — find 3 hours
  • Use the 11 AM–2 PM overlap (three people on) to get side work and pre-close done.
  • Then release crew early in rotation during the afternoon lull, before the evening Dig Pink lift.
  • Cut mid-shift if pacing stays over.
Red 3 Sales $1,376 — down $38 vs last Tuesday ($1,414)
  • One add-on ask on every order.
  • Push the pitaya spotlight ahead of Sunday’s Pink Pitaya Giving Day — Electric Mermaid Bowl, Dragonberry Bowl, Pink Pitaya Smoothie.
  • Mention the Stevenson student discount to students, especially around tonight’s 7 PM Dig Pink match.
  • Mention order-ahead and catering to office and gym guests.
  • Check pitaya stock on today’s food order so Sunday is covered.

Yesterday’s Catch — Tue Oct 20

Yesterday’s win: labor ran almost 10 hours lighter than last Tuesday — 29.98 hrs vs 39.80, and 33.77% vs 42.61% — on nearly the same sales ($1,376 vs $1,414).
