How it runs
What we build, step by step.
This is the usual shape. Yours gets built around how your team actually does the job.
- 01
Sales pulled from the till
Takings, covers, average spend, voids and discounts from yesterday's trade.
- 02
Labour from the rota
Hours worked against the rota, turned into labour cost and a percentage of sales.
- 03
Compared with last week
Each number sits next to the same day last week and your target, so the odd one stands out.
- 04
One page at 8am
Sent to the owner and managers by email or WhatsApp before the day starts.
- 05
Odd things flagged
A spike in voids, a heavy-discount shift or labour running hot gets a line of its own, with the shift it happened on.
Shown with software we see a lot. If your team uses something else, we build it into that instead.
Built for your business
Same job, different business. We build yours.
Two firms in the same trade rarely run a job the same way. Different software, different steps, different people signing off. We build it for your business, around how your team actually does the job.
Your steps
Built around the order your team already works in, odd exceptions included.
Your software
Runs inside the tools you already pay for, set up the way you use them.
Your rules
Your wording, your limits, your sign-offs. Nothing generic goes out in your name.
You sign off
Your team keeps the final say.
It reports. Managers decide what a bad number means, and nobody gets pulled up over a flag until a person has looked at the shift.
What it's worth
What those hours add up to.
3 hours a week, over 46 working weeks, is 138 hours a year. At $50 an hour, that’s
$6,900
back in the business, every year.
Typical, not promised.
Before and after
The job, before and after.
How it runs today
The owner or GM logs into the till, the rota and the booking system, copies the numbers into a spreadsheet and works out labour as a percentage. It takes half an hour a day, so in busy weeks it doesn't happen, and a bad week shows up at month end.

A month in
Every manager starts the day knowing how yesterday went, labour gets fixed in the same week, and month end holds fewer surprises.
FAQ
We don't use Square. Will a daily trading summary work with our till?
Probably. Most modern tills can share daily figures, and we check yours on the free live build before we promise anything.
Can the daily trading summary cover more than one venue?
Yes. Each venue gets its own line in the morning summary, plus a total for the group.
