NEW: Labor Rule Compliance Report

Keeping up with the increasingly complex labor laws can be difficult and time consuming. That's why we've created the new Labor Rule Compliance report. This report cross-checks your stores’ labor rule configuration with local, state and federal laws, and then flags any rules that need corrective action. 

Attention: If you're interested in enabling this report, contact your CSM to get started!

NEW: Sales Forecasting APIs

We added new Sales Forecasting APIs that allow users to import and export forecast data, making it easier to create detailed and accurate forecasts in Net-Chef. Data can be imported and extracted based on three different time increments:

• 15-Minute Sales by Revenue Center
• Hourly Sales by Revenue Center
• Daily Sales

Note: Unlike other API connections, the formatting of this integration differs from the Sales Forecasting (268) CDP import.

Enhancement: Auto-Forecasted Column

We added an "Auto-Forecasted" column (hidden by default) to the Manage Sales Forecasts summary screen to indicate whether the forecast for each week was auto-generated ('Y') or entered manually ('N'). This gives managers additional insight into the source of their forecasts. 

Tip: Knowing whether Sales Forecasts were auto-generated or manually entered is important because these forecasts directly impact Suggested Order, Suggested Prep, and Ideal Hours.
