Is a "No Overtime" Policy Costing You Money?
A common misconception in the industry is that paying overtime is a sign of either bad management or poor scheduling. Not necessarily.
Overtime can also be a sign that a tight, well-conceived schedule was prepared and the restaurant was just busier than anticipated.
Consistently operating with no overtime at all might indicate a padded schedule or that the restaurant has more employees on staff than it really needs. Consider too that paying a little overtime each week can be an excellent incentive and reward for deserving employees, particularly key kitchen personnel.
In todays challenging labor environment, anything you can do to keep your good people happier, is without a doubt, a smart business move.
