How Menulisa lowers labor

Right people, right shifts, right cost

Demand-based scheduling

Build shifts around your real peaks so you're covered when busy and lean when quiet.

Live labor as % of sales

Watch labor against sales in real time and catch overstaffing before it hurts.

QR ordering frees staff

When guests order from the table, staff spend time on hospitality, not taking orders.

Clean time clock

Accurate clock-in records mean payroll reflects what really happened.

Faster service per head

Direct-to-station routing and pay-at-table let a smaller team serve more covers.

Roles & rates

Schedule with roles and pay rates so labor cost reflects who's actually on.

How it works

Where the savings come from

01

Forecast and schedule

Set shifts around demand instead of habit, so you're never overstaffed for a quiet hour.

02

Watch it live

Labor-as-%-of-sales updates through the shift, so you adjust before costs creep.

03

Do more per shift

QR ordering and pay-at-table let the same team handle more covers.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Yes, in real time, so you can catch overstaffing during the shift rather than discovering it at month-end.

Guests order and pay from the table, so a smaller team can serve the same number of covers, improving sales per labor hour.
