Cut Labor Costs by 11% with Smart Budgeting

For years, restaurants have battled the same problem: too many staff on shift, and you’re bleeding cash. Too few, and service falls apart.

But what if you could predict exactly how many employees you need—ensuring you’re fully staffed when it’s busy and lean when it’s slow?

Now you can.

At ClearCOGS, we believe the best managers make data-driven decisions, not guesses. That’s why we built Labor Forecasting, an AI-powered tool that helps restaurants optimize staffing, cut excess labor costs, and boost profitability—all without overhauling your existing systems.

Real Results: 11% Labor Cost Reduction

One of our early adopters, multi-unit restaurant operator, Happea’s, has already seen an 11% drop in labor costs by aligning staffing levels with actual demand.

  • Fewer wasted labor hours
  • More efficient scheduling
  • No disruption to service quality

How It Works

ClearCOGS Labor Forecasting seamlessly integrates with your POS and scheduling systems, analyzing historical sales, trends, weather, and local events to predict demand down to the hour.

  • Predict Labor Needs – Get hourly staffing recommendations based on real-time demand.
  • Eliminate Overstaffing – Cut unnecessary labor hours while keeping operations smooth.
  • Improve Scheduling Efficiency – Give managers clear, actionable guidance for smarter schedules.
  • No Disruptions, No Hassle – No new hardware, no complex training—just results.

Why This Matters Now

With rising labor costs and tightening margins, restaurants can’t afford to leave scheduling to chance. Every unnecessary hour on the clock cuts directly into profitability.

With ClearCOGS Labor Forecasting, you get a simple, data-driven tool that helps you:

  • Reduce labor waste
  • Keep your team productive
  • Ensure top-tier service

Whether you’re running a fast-casual spot, a full-service restaurant, or a franchise, our AI-powered forecasts help you run leaner and smarter—without sacrificing quality.
