Do you know how many overtime hours you're paying for that you don't need?
There's a pattern between your sales by time slot and your team's shifts that most restaurants have never seen. Once you see it, you'll find that 8-12% of labor cost is avoidable. Without cutting service. Without your team complaining.
Your team, under control
Drag to compare before and after
Every point of labor cost is worth €300-400/month in a 30K venue
Going from 32% to 28% labor cost = €1,200/month saved without sacrificing service. Manual shifts oversize 15-25% in low ranges. Guava adjusts staff to demand predicted by time slot. Customers reduce by 8-12% in 90 days.
Automatic shifts based on data, not intuition.
Guava crosses team availability, labor regulations, sales, bookings, and historical venue load to generate optimal shifts in seconds. The system suggests. You review and publish.
- Automatic shift generation in seconds
- Compliance with breaks, hours, and contracts
