Overview
The Staffing Calculator automatically calculates and displays the number of staff members needed based on guest count and service duration. This helps set customer expectations and justify pricing.Configuration Options
Service Length
- Minimum Hours: Set the shortest service duration you offer
- Maximum Hours: Set the longest service duration available
- Supports half-hour increments for flexibility
Guest Count Controls
- Increment Value: Set how much the +/- buttons change the count (1-100)
- Smaller increments (5-10) work well for intimate gatherings
- Larger increments (25-50) are better for corporate events
Staffing Ratios
- Service Capacity: Define how many drinks/services one staff member can handle per hour
- Maximum Staff: Optionally cap the number of staff shown (leave empty for unlimited)
