We thoroughly examine areas that could be bleeding your profits dry - purchasing, receiving, storage, preparation, production, service, and sales. We also explore strategies to identify and eliminate costly mistakes in your operations, ensuring your Key Product Indicators (KPIs) always hit the mark.
Hold tight as we delve into the critical aspect of food storage and inventory management. The episode highlights common drivers of increased costs, such as incorrect food placement, inappropriate storage conditions, and lax inventory. We emphasize the importance of maintaining organized storage and managing credits from suppliers effectively.
As we tie up this insightful episode, we offer practical solutions to maximize profits and efficiency in your bar's kitchen. From implementing a POS system to forecasting food sales accurately, standardizing recipes, and maintaining a waste log - we leave no stone unturned. Not just that, we emphasize the significance of menu engineering, managing unrecorded sales, and smart utilization of overproduced items.
