# Labor

### Overview

This page helps you track labor costs and staffing levels compared to revenue. It shows labor spend and hours worked by position, site, season, and date, so you can see if staffing costs match revenue or get ahead of it. You’ll find headline KPI cards and charts that break down spend by position, date, and season, along with a trend line that shows how labor’s share of revenue changes over time.

### Labor Spend Year to Date

This section compares your labor spend so far this season to what you spent at the same point last season. It helps you see how much you’ve spent and whether you’re ahead of or behind last year.

### Hours Worked

This card shows hours worked, counting only regular hours. Overtime and double-overtime are not included, so if you compare this to a payroll total with overtime, this number will be lower. That’s expected. This gives you a quick look at total hours worked, which is helpful for checking average pay rates and staffing levels without focusing on dollar amounts.

### Labor Spend as a % of Revenue

This section shows labor spend as a percentage of revenue, compared to the same ratio at this point last season. It gives you a quick way to see if labor costs are better, worse, or about the same as last year, before you look at how the ratio changes over the season in the chart below.

### Labor Spend by Position

This chart shows labor spend by position, such as front-of-house, food and beverage, or maintenance, with a separate bar for each season. You can quickly compare costs for each role across seasons, spot positions where costs are rising faster than others, and plan staffing budgets by role.

### Labor by Date

This table lists labor spend by day, showing the day of the week next to each date to help you spot patterns. For example, you might notice that weekends usually cost more. The table also serves as a reference for exact daily spend, which is useful for checking payroll records or looking into a specific day that stands out on other charts.

### Labor Spend Over the Season

This chart shows labor spend by month, grouped by season, with a different color for each position. It combines month, season, and position to show how labor costs by role change throughout the season. This is the most detailed cost trend view on the page. It helps you see not only if total labor spend is rising or falling each month, but also which position is causing the change.

### Labor Spend vs. Revenue Over the Season

This chart tracks labor spend as a percentage of revenue each month, with a separate line for each season. It gives you a trend view of the same ratio shown elsewhere as single numbers. This helps you see if labor’s share of revenue is rising or staying steady over the months, and lets you compare the trend across different seasons.
