The Marquee Method™: Labor Efficiency Diagnostic
Self-Evaluate Your Hotel Through A Consultant’s Lens.
Labor is one of the largest controllable expenses in hospitality—but cutting labor and improving labor efficiency are not the same thing.
The Labor Efficiency Diagnostic is a self-guided tool designed to help hospitality operators identify where labor appears to be working effectively, where potential inefficiencies may exist, and where further attention may be warranted.
Instead of simply asking, “Where can we cut hours?” this diagnostic helps you ask:
“How can every labor dollar work harder for the operation?”
Inside the Diagnostic
✔ Staffing & Scheduling Assessment
Uncover whether scheduling patterns may be creating hidden inefficiencies—or supporting operational value you don’t want to overlook.
✔ Productivity & Deployment Assessment
Identify where paid labor and the operational value it’s producing may not be fully aligned.
✔ Labor Leakage Exercise
Look beyond payroll totals with a guided observation exercise designed to help reveal patterns inside the operation.
✔ Scoring + Marquee Consultant Insight
Interpret your results with score-based guidance designed to help you understand what your findings may indicate and where closer attention may be needed.
✔ Labor Priority & Next-Step Exercise
Organize what you’ve uncovered so you can distinguish areas to protect, correct, reallocate, investigate, or measure before making labor decisions.
The Marquee Approach
The objective isn’t minimum labor.
It’s productive labor.
A lower payroll doesn’t necessarily mean a more profitable operation if the cuts also create slower service, missed sales, operational strain, or a weaker guest experience.
This diagnostic helps you look beyond the labor percentage and take a more informed look at how labor is functioning within your operation.
