How to Calculate Restaurant Staffing Needs
Getting staffing right is a balancing act. Too many employees and you're bleeding money on payroll. Too few and service suffers, guests leave unhappy, and they don't come back.
Basic Staffing Formulas
For front-of-house (servers, baristas):
FOH Staff = Seats ÷ Guests per Staff Member
Industry standard: 1 server per 4-6 tables in full-service, 1 barista per 30-40 orders/hour in cafes.
Typical Ratios by Business Type
| Type | FOH (guests/staff) | BOH (% of FOH) | Manager |
|---|---|---|---|
| Coffee shop | 25-35 | 30-40% | 1 per shift |
| Fast casual | 20-30 | 50-60% | 1 per shift |
| Full-service | 12-18 | 60-80% | 1-2 per shift |
| Bar / Pub | 20-30 | 20-30% | 1 per shift |
Don't Forget to Account For
- Sick days and PTO — typically add 15-20% to your headcount
- Peak vs. slow hours — Friday dinner needs twice the staff as Tuesday morning
- Prep time — kitchen arrives 1-2 hours before opening
