Demand Curve & Headcount
How to use: Select a store and adjust projected weekly sales. The grid shows the leanest recommended headcount per 15-min block given the constraints.
Use the sliders to adjust min/max people and shift lengths. Click cells to fine-tune. Shifts are built with a minimum length to avoid unrealistic short shifts.
Cost formula: crew hours × avg pay rate × 1.08 (payroll burden) + GM weekly salary. Prime Cost = Labor % + COGS %.
Note on GMs: The GM is not counted in the headcount grid — they are salaried and always present. The grid shows hourly crew only. GM salary is included in the Labor % and Prime Cost calculations.
