FTE per Cover = F&B FTE ÷ Covers
Context

Hotel insight

Industry context

  • Useful for outlet labor intensity. Often restated as FTE per 100 or 1,000 covers.
  • Small changes in denominator rules can move the result, so keep the same reporting basis when comparing periods.
Operational notes

Before you act on the number

  • 5.0 FTE ÷ 3,000 covers = 0.0017 FTE per cover
  • Confirm whether internal-use, complimentary, adjustment, or excluded activity should be included before comparing periods.
  • Use this result as an operating guide and review it with the supporting business context.
