Cost control
In the hospitality industry, food and beverage costs are two of the largest cost generators. Leaders need to find ways to better manage and monitor these costs. The process of controlling food and beverage costs is broken down into six stages: purchasing, receiving, preparation and production, service, and sales. These steps work together to provide a more accurate picture of current costs and future ones.
Food and beverage costs fluctuate wildly. It is therefore important to track cost levels by using the right cost breakdown. This approach allows managers to compare numbers over time and compare them against industry standards. Typically, food and beverage costs are reported as a percentage of sales. Managers can then adjust the Cost of Goods Sold to better reflect the actual cost.
Variances between different cost methods can highlight potential efficiency or loss issues. If the standard food cost is greater than the actual cost of food, the difference between the two methods may be indicative of inventory mismanagement or theft. This variance can be minimized by limiting the number of free drinks and menu items available to staff.
