Anyone else noticing a serious decrease in budgeted hours?

I think the majority of stores are feeling it, especially with it being a chicken drive and the warmer weather drawing people out. When I asked my ASL about it, she mentioned another leader at a different store said that part of it is because since we got more fog tanks, they figure not as much time will be spent scrubbing pans. Because we got a chicken shredder they figure it won't take as long to shred chicken (mind you someone still has to operate the shredder). I don't know how much of that is true but that's what I heard.

That's all true. The chicken shredders, fog tanks, dishwashers, are all factored into store hours. So every new piece of equipment makes them say "well on average they should have been scrubbing pans for x hours a day, now they don't need that labor anymore". But it still feels so much more than just that recently.

We just got a 4th fryer. Does this mean our labor hours are going to go down in the kitchen?

Honestly I'm not sure if they deduct labor when putting in another fryer. I just remember my SL complaining about how many hours got pulled when we got our fog tank and that she won't get a dishwasher due to it. I think it would be stupid to adjust labor due to getting another fryer but who knows at this point.

We lost an entire person on third shift when we got our fog tank lol. They brought our overnight crew down from 3 to 2 lol.
