New Businesses Making Money
Staffing costs are the major expenditure of all businesses and especially those in the service industry. Service industries include; nursing homes, care homes, hospitals, hotels, restaurants, government, etc. A business plan is about making money, accounting for costs and expenditure, taking financial advice and making a financial plan. Money is required to start a business and the business must make money. Visual Rota software is one of the in-house tools used to forecast staffing costs and methods of optimising these costs.
2 Examples
The New Millenium Dome
This was one of our early projects. The new Millennium Dome had a spectacular show in the centre of the Dome. Several times a day, every day of the year 2000. The show used hundreds of staff from aerial riggers to lighting to wardrobe, working around the clock. The staffing rosters for the entire year were put in place, the start and finish times of each shift are in place and the cost of the show personnel is in place. Then they could start hiring staff.
A New Nursing Home
A new nursing home is planned to be built on a green field site for 55 beds. Visual Rota Consultancy created the staffing roster, costed it out and made recommendations for saving staffing costs. In effect, we created two staff rosters, the first used the organisations current staffing system, the second used the optimum staffing roster. The difference in costs came to £1,000,000 over the life of the home(20 years).
