Holiday Hiring: How to Use POS Data to Plan for Seasonal Staffing

The holiday season means more customers, bigger orders, and longer hours. To keep service running smoothly, you need a solid seasonal staffing plan. With RPOWER POS reporting tools, you can forecast needs, train staff efficiently, and ensure your team is ready before the rush hits.


1. Review Historical Sales Data

Last year’s data is your best predictor for this year’s staffing needs. With RPOWER POS, you can:

  • Pinpoint your busiest days and hours.

  • See which roles (servers, bartenders, kitchen staff) were in highest demand.

  • Predict where additional support will be needed.


2. Use Labor Reports to Avoid Overstaffing

Extra staff is essential during the holidays, but too much coverage can cut into profits. RPOWER POS helps you:

  • Compare labor costs to sales in real time.

  • Adjust schedules based on customer flow.

  • Reduce unnecessary overtime and labor expenses.


3. Train Seasonal Staff Quickly

Temporary hires need to be effective right away. RPOWER POS makes onboarding easier by:

  • Using menu prompts to encourage upselling.

  • Offering quick tutorials so new staff can start serving faster.


4. Monitor Performance in Real Time

Once your seasonal staff is on the floor, track performance metrics to maintain high standards. RPOWER POS allows you to:

  • Monitor sales per server or bartender.

  • Track table turnover times and order accuracy.

  • Identify areas for improvement and coach accordingly.
