Employee Utilization Dashboard

← Back to the User Guide

Your team is your biggest asset. This dashboard helps you see how busy each person is, how much business they bring in, and who's doing great or might need a little support — so you can plan shifts better and reward the right people.

How to open it: click your business name at the top-left and choose Employee Utilization Dashboard.


Choosing what to look at​

At the top of the screen:

  • Date range (📅) – pick a period: Today, Yesterday, Last 7 days, Last 30 days, This month, or Custom. Click Apply when done. It starts on this month.
  • Compare – tick this inside the date picker to compare with another period (Last 7 days, Last 15 days, Last 30 days, Last Quarter, Last Year or Custom).
  • Store – which store's team to see.
  • Refresh (🔄) – reload everything.

What "utilization" means​

Utilization is simply the share of a person's working time they spent actually doing services.

Utilization % = Busy hours ÷ Work hours Non Utilization (Idle) % = the rest of their time

  • Work hours come from the days they checked in, multiplied by their shift length. If no shift length has been set for someone, a standard 8-hour day is used.
  • Busy hours come from the services they did and how long each service takes.

⭐ Make your numbers accurate​

Set the Service Time In Mins for each of your services in Master › Item Master. When a service has no time set, only a few minutes are counted for it, so the person may look less busy than they really were. Rows that include such services are marked with a *.

You'll also notice the word Estimated above the table. That's because out-times are worked out from the check-in time plus the shift length, rather than being recorded separately.


What's on the screen​

Employee Targets​

Each person's progress against their monthly targets for Service, Product, Package, Membership Sales, Membership Wallet and Unique Customers. Click Set Targets to change them — see Targets.

Hourly Utilization Heatmap​

A colour grid with your staff down the side and the hours of the day across the top. Darker cells mean busier hours. It's perfect for spotting:

  • the hours when everyone is rushed (maybe you need an extra person), and
  • the hours when the floor is quiet (a good time for breaks, training or offers).

Alerts & Actions​

A short list of things that deserve your attention, with a count in the corner. For example:

  • staff whose sales are well below the team average,
  • staff with no sales in the period,
  • staff whose product sales are low compared with their services (a chance to recommend products),
  • your peak hour — when most bills are made,
  • your top performer.

Utilization Distribution​

How many of your staff fall into each band — Excellent (>75%), Good (60–75%), Average (40–60%) and Poor (<40%) — shown as a number and a percentage of the team.

Performance Ranks​

Your staff ranked by the sales they brought in. The top three get gold, green and blue badges. Anyone who needs a push appears under Needs Action.


Frequently asked questions​

Someone worked all day but shows low utilization. Why? Most likely their services don't have a Service Time set in Item Master, so only a few minutes are counted for each. Set the time for your services and it'll correct itself.

Why does a staff member show "–" for In Time? They didn't check in during the selected period.

Can I see utilization for all my stores together? This dashboard works one store at a time. For a side-by-side view of branches, use the Multi Store Dashboard.
