# Skill: Schedule labor to demand
Labor is a ratio to sales with a floor; this schedules to demand without breaking service.
## Step 1 — Forecast demand by daypart
Build a covers/sales forecast per daypart from history.
## Step 2 — Set labor to the ratio
Target labor % per daypart against the forecast (§3 #4).
## Step 3 — Hold the service line
Identify the staffing floor below which speed-of-service and turnover costs exceed the savings.
## Step 4 — Stress the cut
Show what a requested cut does to the service line before committing.
## Output
A daypart labor plan, the service-line floor, and the cost of an over-cut.
