Staffing Plan
Tomorrow's cooks + floor staff, scaled to expected covers. Stop over-staffing on slow days and under-staffing on festival nights.
What it does
Staffing Plan in plain English
From tomorrow's forecast and your kitchen's throughput rating (cooks ร stations ร pass speed), Forkcast recommends the cook count and floor staff for each shift. We surface the peak hour explicitly and flag if the forecast exceeds your throughput cap.
Examples
What you actually see
'Tomorrow: 4 cooks (not 6), 2 floor. Peak hour 1pm. โน3,000 saved on a slow Monday.'
'Tomorrow: 7 cooks, 4 floor, 1 expediter. Forecast 187 covers vs throughput cap 130 โ call in one extra cook for dinner pass.'
'Saturday wedding catering job: 14 chefs + 6 helpers locked. Book transport before Friday peak rate kicks in.'
