The Sales & Labor Budget Comparison Chart provides a clear cut view on the progress of Sales and Labor for the current week.

In the chart above, a line graph helps to differentiate the Projected Sales versus the Actual Sales to show whether the restaurant location assessed is ahead or falling behind and by how much. The bar graph displays the amount of money spent on Labor compared to the budgeted amount. With a quick reference to the Labor budget percentage and the money left to spend on Labor for the week, a user can determine whether or not the restaurant is projected to meet the Labor budget. As of the date selected in the report parameters, the user can see if the the restaurant Location is ahead or falling behind on their Labor cost and by how much.
