Worked example: how much does a restaurant save?
A cook earns CHF 32 per hour and works 60 hours of overtime a year. Without documented compensation, these must be paid out at 125% — documented with Gastrora, at 100%:
- Without Gastrora (125%): CHF 2'400 per employee per year
- With Gastrora (100%): CHF 1'920 per employee per year
- Saving: CHF 480 per employee per year
With 8 employees: CHF 3'840 saved per year. Gastrora Package 1 costs CHF 828 per year (CHF 69/month). ROI: 4.6×.
