Michael, take control of labour across Parched, without compromising service

Running operations across London is getting increasingly harder – we get it.

Those first few payroll runs post-April probably had your eyes watering… and margins? What margins?



The challenges of running 7 pubs in London

Labour Cost

Labour cost % is harder to control than ever

Living Wage

Living Wage increases are squeezing already tight margins

Volatility

Demand changes daily – weather, footfall, transport, late-night trade

Waste

Small inefficiencies across sites quickly become big losses

And the list goes on…

You wouldn’t be the co-founder of a top London operator without knowing this already: if there isn’t clear, meaningful visibility, labour issues only show up after they’ve already hit service or profit. And as Director, you’ve got the challenge of balancing service and margin on every shift and replicating that across multiple different sites.

But it doesn’t have to be that way

Is this you?

Forecasts feel like guesswork
Managers make rota decisions based on assumptions

How Little Door & Co. took control of their labour

“Since the wage increases… there’s a huge pressure point. S4labour enables us to control the business and have visibility so clearly laid out that it pays back every single month.

Instead of retrospective reports, we see real-time wage cost vs revenue, broken down hour-by-hour.”
