Roster grid

Who the letters mean

Eight kinds of person, eight letters. Rename them, set the rate. That is the whole rate card.

In the grid below, A means one of A on for that hour. A2 means two of them. A2 E means two A and one E. Spaces or commas, either way.

Peak rows are shaded. An hour with fewer people on than you want is called out in the day table and coloured in the grid.

Peak on and off peak on are the fewest people on the floor in any hour of that stretch — the thin moment, not the average. That is the one that gets noticed.
