For context on which labour metrics actually drive operational improvement: Restaurant Labour Cost Benchmark: What Australian Operators Should Track.
The Labour Planning Pro Pack extends this benchmark into a full roster model — wage-to-sales forecast, service period productivity tracker, and multi-site labour dashboard. Built for F&B directors and group operators.

Total wages plus on-costs — superannuation, payroll tax, workers' compensation and any other mandatory additions. Our labour on-cost calculator breaks down exactly how much on-costs add to a base wage rate.
Minimum wage structures, award and penalty rate systems, superannuation or equivalent retirement contributions, and typical service models all differ significantly by country, which is why comparing your labour cost only against your own market makes the benchmark meaningful.
Use it as a sense check, not a target. Your own venue's trend over time is a more reliable signal of whether something has genuinely changed in your business than an external benchmark, which can only tell you whether you're in a reasonable range.
