Why use the schedule analysis dashboard?

It allows you to see, in one place, the key data to manage your schedules and payroll: sales, hours worked, productivity, estimated labor costs, and impact on revenue.


How to access the analysis dashboard?

From Schedule:

  • Select a team and a period (day or week)

  • Click the dedicated icon to open the visual analysis

  • Apply the desired filters: day/week, budgeted vs. actual

    • Budgeted: helps plan schedules based on expected revenue

    • Actual: allows comparison with the budget and adjustments moving forward


How to understand the key indicators?

Indicator

Description

Sales

Net revenue of the establishment (depends on POS connection).

Hours worked

Total scheduled or completed hours (day/week).

Actual productivity

Revenue per hour worked → Sales (€) / Hours worked (h).

Estimated shift cost

Estimated labor cost (see details below).

Shift cost / Sales

Percentage of revenue absorbed by labor costs (Shift cost / Sales * 100).


Estimation of shift costs: calculation methods

Daily cost

  • Permanent / fixed-term / seasonal contracts: hours × gross hourly rate + employer contributions

  • Temporary / apprentices / extras: hours × gross hourly rate

  • Fixed-day contracts: (gross salary / (work days × 4.3333)) + employer contributions

Weekly cost

  • Permanent / fixed-term / seasonal contracts: hours × gross hourly rate + contributions + overtime/supp × premium

  • Temporary / apprentices / extras: hours × gross hourly rate + overtime/supp × premium

  • Fixed-day contracts: gross salary / (days × 4.3333) + contributions × number of days in the week

💡

  • The analysis in Combo is an estimate: employer contributions are not customized per contract type. A standard average applies only to permanent, fixed-term, seasonal, and fixed-day contracts.

  • If you activated the Analysis option (“add 10% for paid leave to the hourly rate”), we multiply the total by 1.1 to better reflect reality.


How to export your data for deeper tracking?

  • Create a productivity report in Reports > Exports > Productivity

  • Download the Excel file with sales (budget/actual), hours, productivity (budget/actual), per establishment and per day

  • Add formulas (=SUM(...)) to easily calculate totals
