Labor Management determines the location needs the two cooks starting at 4:45 p.m.

For example, a location anticipates a lunch rush from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Labor Management. Labor Management detects burger sales sharply increase starting at 12:15 p.m. Set a lag value to add another grill cook starting at 12:00 p.m.
