Staff costs and tips

Planned staff costs per day and week; add daily revenue and you see the staff cost ratio as a traffic light. Plus a tip calculator based on hours, with a list for signing.

Why does this feature exist?

In hospitality, staff are usually the biggest cost. Many owners only notice that a rota is too expensive when the payroll comes in. Lumigast calculates the costs while you plan and compares them with revenue. And the app shares out tips by hours – in a way everyone can follow.

What does it do for you?

  • Costs while you plan: planned staff costs per day and week
  • Staff cost ratio as a traffic light – you set the thresholds yourself
  • For planned days with expected revenue from your own history, always marked as an estimate
  • Distribute tips by hours and area, with a list for signing
  • Visible only to you, not to the shift lead

For owners who want to keep their staff costs under control – from a café to a restaurant with several areas.
