Added October 15, 2026. Written with AI assistance and checked for clarity and placeholders; not reviewed by a lawyer, accountant, clinician or other professional. How these prompts are made
The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.
[VERIFY] is an editorial flag, not a blank to fill. Wherever the prompt shows [VERIFY], check that item against a reliable source before you use it (what [VERIFY] means).
Review my labour cost. Sales by week and labour hours and cost by role: [SALES_LABOUR_DATA]. Service issues and staff feedback: [SERVICE_FEEDBACK]. Target labour percentage, if any: [TARGET]. Calculate labour as a percentage of sales by week and by day part, sales per labour hour, and the split between fixed and variable roles, in a table. Identify weeks and day parts with unusually high or low ratios and offer hypotheses. Suggest changes to test (shift start times, split shifts, cross-training, scheduling to forecasts), and list the service risks of each. Do not recommend cutting hours below safe levels. Mark employment rules and tipping arrangements [VERIFY] for [JURISDICTION]. Also add a worked example with invented weekly data showing labour percentage by week, and three questions to ask the team before any change: where do we feel overstretched, where do we wait, and what could be simplified? Present scheduling options, not legal conclusions. Anything about predictable scheduling, rest periods or overtime must be tagged [VERIFY] for [JURISDICTION] and confirmed locally before it is published to staff.
