The Employee Scheduler is an affordable spreadsheet designed in order to help you schedule hourly employees and manage your labor costs as a percentage of sales. (Requires Microsoft Excel or OpenOffice to run).

This Excel spreadsheet was developed by the owner of a small quick service restaurant in the U.S.A. (ala Subway, Blimpie, Quiznos, etc).

Like most small businesses, controlling labor costs was (and is) key to survival.

He needed a very simple, easy way of managing his labor costs on the weekly employee schedule. Most scheduling systems he reviewed were too complex or expensive for his needs.
