Configuring Labor Groups in the NX Restaurant Portal

In NX Restaurant, Labor Groups are used to classify employee roles for labor reporting and labor cost tracking. Assigning Jobs to appropriate Labor Groups ensures accurate labor percentage calculations and group-based insights on scheduling and payroll expenses.

Accessing Labor Groups

To configure Labor Groups:

• Go to Configuration in the left-hand menu.
• Under the Labor section, select Labor Groups.
• You will see a list of existing Labor Groups with their associated venues.

Creating or Editing a Labor Group

1. Click + New to create a new Labor Group or click the pencil icon ✏️ next to an existing group to edit it.
2. In the General tab: Name: Enter a descriptive name for the Labor Group (e.g., Front of House, Management, Back of House).
3. Click Save to apply changes.

Labor Groups can be used across one or more venues in your organization when setup at the Enterprise level.

Purpose of Labor Groups

Labor Groups are primarily used for:

• Classification: Organize jobs (e.g., servers, bartenders, chefs) into meaningful categories for operational visibility.
• Reporting: Group labor costs by department or role to analyze labor percentages and scheduling efficiency.
• Cost Control: When setting Jobs, Labor Groups help allocate labor expenses to the right area, ensuring accurate payroll forecasting and labor performance metrics.

Next Steps

Once your Labor Groups are configured:

• Assign them to Jobs by navigating to Configuration > Labor > Jobs.
• Ensure all Jobs are properly grouped to enable accurate reporting in labor cost dashboards and exports.
