Labor is one of the big 3 costs for restaurants and small businesses. In the last video I talked about how to calculate your labour cost. Now that you know what it is, you're now ready to put on your detective hat and lower your labour costs.

These 5 ways to cut labour costs are what I do and have done to grow my businesses and increase my profits. Many of them are TIED to how you manage your restaurant staff, retaining good talent, creating a positive culture, and making your business more efficient. All which benefit you, your staff, and customers.

It is important you approach these 5 ways appropriately. You shouldn't do so in a cut throat manner just to make more money. Things like paying your staff more and cross-training may look like you're increasing your labour cost, but long-term you're saving you a lot more money. That's because you're willing to pay your good staff more, you're willing to train your staff to do multiple roles - each helps build staff loyalty, satisfaction, and more accountability. Which all helps in reducing staff turnover and makes your staff more motivated to do a good job. It is with THIS mindset you should be having if you want to truly run a successful restaurant.

So if you're a restaurant owner, food business owner, restaurant manager, small business owner, and are looking to reduce labor costs or increase profits, or how to start a successful restaurant, then keep watching!

    Hey, following your channel for a while. I was doing a job and was making great money and then thought I should do business. Started a retail store in 2014 from the scratch and it picked up. Did bad and took a partner and then things start changing. It was going great but not going to the next step, which it was suppose to. The fact of partnership is your decision is 50% . In short , I ended up leaving in January of 2020. So I learned one thing! Go solo or wait until you can handle it by yourself. Great video though.
