The LAB Report™
Location Analytics Benchmark
The performance standard restaurants, nightlife, hotels, and F&B operators have never had. Anonymous comp-set intelligence — at the metrics level that ownership and capital both understand.
Sample Snapshot
LAB Index™
What you receive, every week — six KPIs, your property indexed against an anonymous curated comp set. Board-ready. Every Wednesday.
What It Is
The benchmark the industry has been missing.
LAB Index™ delivers weekly anonymous comp-set benchmarking across six core KPIs — indexed against a curated peer set so you know exactly where your property stands in the market, not just against last year. Modeled after the institutional benchmarking infrastructure lodging has had for decades. Built for restaurants, nightlife, and hotel F&B. Until now, this didn’t exist.
Core KPIs
Six metrics. One market position.
01
RevPASH ★
Revenue Per Available Seat Hour — the primary efficiency metric.
02
Spend
What a guest spends on average per visit — your check position relative to the comp set.
03
Prime Cost %
Combined food, beverage, and labor — your cost structure in context.
04
Market Penetration
Your share of covers in the competitive market.
05
CPLH
Covers Per Labor Hour — the productivity multiplier that drives margin.
06
Covers
Total guests served on a weekly basis — your volume position relative to the comp set.
★ RevPASH is the cornerstone metric. Every other KPI is read in relation to it.
