Rotas & live floor

Today & cost

A single screen for today's shape: who is scheduled, who is in, projected labour cost, cost by site and person, and labour as a percentage of sales.

Open in WagePilot Available where the Today & cost module is enabled

Today & cost zooms in on a single day. Where the live board is the real-time tower, this is the day's shape at a glance: who is scheduled, who has clocked in, spend so far, where the day is heading, and how it breaks down by site and by person.

Spent today, projected by close, cost split by site and person, and labour as a percentage of sales.

Labour vs sales

Type today’s takings and see labour as a percentage of sales — the single number that tells you whether the day is staffed right.

  1. 1

    Enter takings per site

    Type each site’s sales so far into its box. It saves when you tab or tap away, and is shared with the rota’s wage-% row.

  2. 2

    Read the percentage

    Each site shows labour as a percentage of its sales, toned green/amber/red, with an overall figure at the top.

Cost by site and by person

  • Cost by site today — a donut of where today’s spend is landing, with each site’s share and total in the middle.
  • By person today — everyone who has worked today, ranked by what they’ve earned so far, as a simple bar list.
