You will never hear me say: "You just have to cut labor."
Never.
Instead what I say often is: "We have to manage labor."
Our choice of words matters a great deal. Why? Because there's more than one way to get our labor percentage in line. Yes, we can run with less bodies. But sometimes that has a negative effect on the operation. It grinds down the kitchen and impacts the guest experience. Just as often, a high labor percentage can simply be fixed by making sure your team is productive. Meaning we are generating more per cover.
That's what this episode is all about.
