Most places I've been keep their ideal labour between 10-15%.

I could not imagine how frequent the turns, and how intense that volume, was.

Your team has my respect. I'm curious what your food cost is like lol

Bruh if he got labor to less than 10% he can afford food to be like 40% lmao if he can do 60k a day, his on hand inventory can be like 100k+ depending on delivery frequency. If I ever had labor this low and numbers this big my district manager woulda sucked me and the whole kitchen crew off like a sloppy thot
