Calculating The Cost Of Labor

The space, equipment, food and supplies, marketing costs and one other significant factor, that of labor. If you are the owner or manager of a restaurant, paying employee costs is often one of the largest expenses to continue operation. Here are a few tips that will help you determine how to operate with reduced labor costs.<br /><br />You must consider all the costs related to labor. This includes management costs as well as those related to waitpersons and dishwashers. Labor costs typically are made up of salary or wages, benefits and taxes, and training costs. There are extra expenses for items like employee recognition.<br /><br />Looking at each of these elements separately may help you to see some places where savings are possible. However, you may also find that combining the separate elements will actually enable you to pay less. For example, if you pay a little more than the going wage of the area, you may find that your employee turnover rate is lower. If you think about it, the cost of recruiting, training and outfitting new employees can be significant. It may be significantly less costly to retain the existing top quality trained and experienced people by paying a little more.<br /><br />Employee benefits can be a significant expense, but there are ways to reduce those costs without reducing quality. Health insurance may be another way to attract and retain quality people to work for you. The type of benefits that you provide can vary according to the pool of potential employees that you are drawing from. For example, family medical benefits may be more important if most of your waitpersons are single parents. Tailor your benefit package to match the needs of people in your employee pool.<br /><br />If your employee pool is mainly from college students, flexibility in hours may be more important than health care. Offering work for students in culinary arts may be another way to reduce costs. On-the-job training opportunities are a great way for getting subsidized or partially subsidized workers who are anxious to offer good service.<br /><br />It's important to consider your own labor when calculating the cost of staffing your restaurant. It may be tempting to spend your time doing a lot of tasks that could be done by employees, thinking that this will save money. In fact, calculate the actual cost of your time and determine, if you would be more profitably employed by concentrating on management and marketing, rather than filling in for a dishwasher or waitperson.<br />

Very few people going into an enterprise are able to forecast the exact pathway the business will take in the future. Keeping the business goals current allows the personnel in the management or ownership part of the business to maintain a close watch on what was planned and how closely the actual results match the plan.</span><br style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px;" /><br style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px;" /><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px;">You may wonder why the variance occurs. It can result in fewer sales or higher expenses. Either of those factors could be from inadequate knowledge of the marketplace, the products or the costs. Sometimes expenses increase in ways that could not have been foreseen.</span><br style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px;" /><br style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px;" /><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px;">There are many resources that can offer directions on how to develop a good plan. Other resources are devoted to tracking the elements that will tell you whether or not the plan needs to be revised. You should be sure that each element that you used in designing the plan is measurable. Identify the factors that will allow you to know whether or not you are meeting your goals. These can be financial or development goals.</span><br style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px;" /><br style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px;" /><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px;">There are benefits in being up-to-date for the business plan features. If you are falling short in meeting revenue goals, you may need to adjust your spending. Unless you review the plan regularly, you won't be able to make revisions in a timely manner. Another benefit you get when you maintain your business plan regularly is fast response if you need to apply for commercial credit or acquire new facilities.</span><br style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px;" /><br style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px;" /><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px;">A business plan should be detailed for the next fiscal quarter. You can be more general when looking at expectations for a year in the future. The plan should always be in place for three years. You are able to build in emergency funds or long-range capital acquisition because you have a plan and have allocated funds for the future.</span><br style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px;" /><br style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px;" /><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px;">Taking time each month to review your business plan and compare it to the transactions that have transpired during the period can help with your future planning. Record keeping in a responsible manner is part of being successful as a business owner. Creating the initial plan is confusing and time consuming to most people, but help can be obtained through internet classes or local low-cost classes.</span>

Looking for ways to cut down on expenses when running your restaurant?

<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidvBUZ90l-caaU1av2nCDeOV1rvIL4exKMF6V4nCp0QpMCRhxPRzL7hcQvBVnuXS2a7AcxaNX-Gm36sj2CC4dsJUJC_jkjF9_SnMsm34H_wEJoFl1Gx4fVixJt47dcKPf0HjAD0tVefdI/s1600/Expenses.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidvBUZ90l-caaU1av2nCDeOV1rvIL4exKMF6V4nCp0QpMCRhxPRzL7hcQvBVnuXS2a7AcxaNX-Gm36sj2CC4dsJUJC_jkjF9_SnMsm34H_wEJoFl1Gx4fVixJt47dcKPf0HjAD0tVefdI/s320/Expenses.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><br />1. Menu Streamlining<br />A restaurant operator should have a menu that most efficiently utilizes the space, labor and inventory available. Most restaurants have bulky menus with non-moving food items.  Take the time to review your sales of each item and cut down on items.  Look for menu items that have unique ingredients and may be costly to source.  Also take into consideration the labor that comes with preparing a menu item.<br /><br />2. Develop and have operating standards<br />Have standards and procedures to be followed at all service levels of the restaurant. To ensure compliance, ensure consistent monitoring. This does not only help you serve your restaurant clients better, it also helps you save on costs, especially if some of the measures taken are on cost cutting.<br /><br />3. Alternative energy Sources<br />Green energy is not only appealing to customers, but it also helps restaurant owners cut down on energy costs. Dishwashers, sinks and bathrooms can have their water heated by a solar heating system. Furthermore, some states offer tax credits on renewable energy. In addition, the restaurant owner can sell excess power to the national grid.<br />Restaurants can also use equipment that do not consume a lot of energy to cut down on energy expenses.  Take a look at your light bulbs and what an LED can save you per day and what the government is willing to give you back in a rebate.<br /><br />4. Rethinking layout and equipment<br />Prices of food and guest palates fluctuate with time. Similarly, operations within a restaurant also need to change with time. Efficiency can be improved through regular reviews of layouts and equipment. Outdated practices and services need to reviewed. For instance, orders can be made online while still using telephones. Similarly, the best selling food item should be placed closer to the pick up window to minimize on movement within the restaurant. Its ingredients should also be readily available to the chef.<br /><br />5. Have your bills rechecked<br />Have your restaurant accountant or better your audit company (3rd party) sift through bills looking for errors, overcharges and can eventually negotiate a better deal for services provided to the restaurant.<br /><br />6. Credit cards real cost<br />A majority of restaurant owners are faced with expenses relating to credit card processing fees. Such an owner is advised to contact their processor and have their company explain all the fees charged as per the monthly statements. If the company fail to explain the fees, then the manager/owner should look for another processor. Such knowledge of all the fees and charges in processing credit cards assists the managers/owners control processing costs. Since manual entry of credit card numbers costs more to process, mobile payment units may be used in the case of delivered orders.  In this day and age there are so many options here with new smart phones and smaller processors.<br /><br />7. Better inventory management<br />Inventory management has direct impact on profit margins, cash management, asset turnover and return on investment. This management can be done by labeling perishable products with dates to minimize on spoilage, reconciliation of orders vs supplies.<br /><br />8. Co-operate with other restaurants<br />This might be of help especially when it comes to purchasing supplies. Join a buying group that allows restaurants to purchase in a group which not only saves on purchases, it also eliminates the need to deal with multiple sales people or negotiate for better prices. Furthermore, it also protects the group members from price volatility especially if the group had a contract on a lower price.<br /><br />9. Ask for Vendors' Help<br />Suppliers have a vested interest in making you happy and can similarly assist when it come to cheaper options of products or techniques. Since they are not familiar with how you manage your costs, asking for several tips on costs cutting from them might give you new ideas. On the other hand, they might be knowledgeable of places you can purchase new equipment at a cheaper cost.<br /><br />10. Think before signing any contract<br />Restaurant owners should avoid contracts that auto-renew themselves if the services being provided aren't cancelled within a given time frame, contracts with pricing running out before the contract, contracts that cannot leave you even if you relocate the business, contracts with more details about it being offered online as well as contracts that are electronically signed as changes or negotiations are pretty harder for such contracts. This will assist the owner not to be stuck with unsuitable and non-beneficial terms that come with a contract.<br /><br />For more information on how you can run and improve your restaurant business visit us at <a href="http://www.facebook.com/reservationbook">http://www.facebook.com/reservationbook</a><br />Looking for some great restaurant forms and inventory forms to help you in your pursuit visit us at <a href="http://www.freerestaurantforms.com./">www.FreeRestaurantForms.com.</a><br />

Blogs are usually the work of a single individual, occasionally of a small group, and often are themed on a single subject.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">A blog by no means is a short term marketing solution.  It is however a long term marketing asset that will bring you traffic “or eyeballs” to your restaurant website.  <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Now I know how busy restaurant time can be and there is very little time for sitting down and writing about things to post online.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">However here is a cool fact:  Companies that have blogs have 55% more website visitors.  Can you restaurant afford to not use this indispensable marketing tool?<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial;">At the end of this video and in the text below <st1:state w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Ill</st1:place></st1:state>give you some inexpensive tools to use to make blogging a little easier.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">So you might be wondering what do blogs do and why do I need them for my restaurant?<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Well, Blogs are used to earn peoples trust that your restaurant is the place they want to dine.  <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Now it is up to you how many times you blog.  The more the better but in this busy world; who has time to continually be writing while running a restaurant?<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">You need to add some sort of value for the reader.

Let me explain.  The more written original content there is online about your restaurant the more Google will think you are an authority.  Meaning they will put you higher up on Google when people search for you.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial;">Now, you may be wondering how Google picks your restaurant to show on Google. It is done by keywords and similarities to what the user is looking for.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">So the 1^stthing you need to do is figure out what are the best keywords to use for your restaurant.   What would a person enter into Google to search for your restaurant?</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Maybe <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc"><li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Wing night<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Restaurant on YOUR Street<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Restaurant at YOUR Mall<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Live music in YOUR city<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Your restaurant feature like Martini Mondays</span></li></ul><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">So now that you have a keyword list you can start to build your blog.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">I suggest having 5 blogs that you use for advertising purposes and setting these up in Blogger.com. Now I suggest using Blogger.com as it is owned by Google and … Do you get how using their tools may help your efforts?<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Now the key to remember is to use one of the keywords in the title of each blog you set up.  So for instance here is a blog that I have set up as “Kanata Irish Pub” because <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Kanata</st1:place></st1:city> is the city the restaurant is in and Irish Pub is one of the keywords that a person might use to search<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Now, in blogger you can pick nice background images and change the appearance of the blog to suit your tastes. </span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">So once you have this done you can set up your 1^st blog posting.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">So go ahead and write about what you think will be of value to your restaurant audience.  In this example we talk about the restaurant and the deal of dinner and a movie.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Make sure you add compelling images that catch the reader’s attention and draw them into your story.  This also helps by breaking up the text and making it easier to read.  You can even embed your YouTube videos.  This makes for a very compelling story.  Imagine a restaurant without a blog and a future customer is searching for where to eat and one of the websites they come across is your blog and it contains fabulous stories and videos of your restaurant. Then there is your competitors page that just has one plain Jane website with very little content and imagery.  Where do you think they will dine?<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Now do not forget somewhere in the blog to put a link to your website.  <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Also you will see labels listed at bottom, these are important as well.  Insert your keywords here and always put more than one.<o:p></o:p></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Also one image per post and rename your image one of your keywords before you upload it.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Your good blog should be on your domain like www.restaurantname.com/blog<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">To do this you will need to get your website administrator to install Wordpress on your domain and use this for your professionally written blogs. The ones you add to your advertising and links form your website.  The reason you use Wordpress and attach it to you restaurant domain is that it will build up the reputation of your domain name but it needs to be hosted on your website address <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Now make sure you do not always just talk about your restaurant. Readers do not always want to read about your restaurant.   <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Here are some great things your can blog about for your restaurant<o:p></o:p></span></div><ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc"><li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Your neighbourhood and other businesses in and around yours.<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Your city that you do business in.<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">A team you sponsor.<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">A regular customer.<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">A staff member that went above and beyond to please a guest.<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Your family story<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Blog with images about past entertainment like bands in your bar, even maybe a video<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Special events like St. Patty’s day<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Charitable events that your restaurant participates in.<o:p></o:p></span></li></ul><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Now don’t for get the title of a blog post is very important.  It needs to capture the reader’s attention.  It also needs to contain one of your restaurant keywords like your restaurant name, where your restaurant is etc.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Here are some resources<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Blogger link up </span><a href="http://www.bloggerlinkup.com/">http://www.bloggerlinkup.com/</a><span style="font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Here is a cool blog I have learned tons from <a href="http://www.ppchero.com/">http://www.ppchero.com/</a><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Blog writers <a href="http://www.iwriter.com/">http://www.iwriter.com/</a><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Use the<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>Google keyword tool to assist with your research <a href="http://www.googlekeywordtool.com/">http://www.googlekeywordtool.com/</a><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div>
