Sales Per Labor Hour (SPLH) measures how much sales your operation generates for each productive labor hour worked. Compare two periods to see whether sales or labor hours are driving the change, then identify where to focus first.
New to SPLH? This tool explains the metric as you use it. More experienced operators can use the diagnosis as a second check on the path they are already considering.
Skip these if you only want the core SPLH read. Add what you know if you want FEClife to check schedule execution, overtime exposure, labor cost, or your own SPLH target.
FEClife will compare how sales and productive labor hours moved relative to one another, then explain what that relationship suggests before you make a schedule decision.
The shared results summary will explain the SPLH movement, the primary sales-versus-hours driver, and the first operating issue to investigate.
Watch live sales, productive hours, coverage, breaks, bottlenecks, and service standards. Flex the team around actual work without creating unsafe or unsustainable staffing conditions.
A higher SPLH can mean better labor leverage. It can also mean the team is understaffed and service is deteriorating. A lower SPLH can mean excess labor, or it can reflect training, maintenance, opening work, or deliberate service investment.
Good operators use SPLH to ask better questions, not to make automatic cuts.
The next level of labor productivity analysis should separate the weekly result into dayparts, deployment, scheduling accuracy, and service requirements.
Continue into productive-hour definitions, daypart analysis, schedule construction, sales forecasting, and deployment.
