The most popular programs on the market include: Microsoft Dynamics, Quickbooks, and Peachtree.

In almost any restaurant, food sales is usually the main method of profit. One tends to focus on “buy low, sell high,” but there is much more to it than that.

Basically stated food cost is the costs of goods sold for each menu item. One common mistake during the elimination of expenses is losing customers, either because your quality goes down or your portions become unacceptable. You have to be careful when controlling costs in ways that won’t lose you customers. Another thing to keep in mind is that while food cost percents are important; don’t forget to always see the bigger picture.

How to Control Your Food Cost

Menu Writing: Include items that highlight the strengths of your kitchen staff while avoiding their weaknesses. Include a variety of choices at the right price that fit the style of your restaurant. Use ingredients that work together on different menu items to ensure maximum usage and little to no waste.

Purchasing: The goal of purchasing is to get the right amount of everything you need, when you need it, with the correct specifications, at the best price available with an acceptable level of service. To help you stay on top of inventory, QSROnline provides you with the most up-to-date food cost system available. Our restaurant inventory control system automatically keeps track of vendor prices that can be automatically imported from invoices. The Order Guide allows par levels to be set for each location. Inventory can be managed daily, weekly, and monthly. Managers are also alerted of possible counting errors.

Receiving: It is very important to have a system in place to make sure that what is being delivered is what was ordered. Make sure whoever checks in orders carefully counts what is coming in, as well as checking the freshness of the items delivered. Easy returns and refunds for an unacceptable product and quick delivery of shorted items are two of the most important criteria for a vendor.

Storage: Items must be stored so that you experience a minimum of loss through spoilage and theft. All storage areas should be neat, rotated on a regular basis, and easily accessible for use.

Service

Portion control is an obvious factor that affects your costs as well as your guest’s satisfaction. Special attention should be given during prep and at serving to ensure the best portion size as well as the amount of waste.

Everyone cannot be a restaurant manager. There is a constant pressure and everything has to be done at a frantic pace. Managers must learn to balance the staff, business and customers and also deal with unplanned situations that are witnessed at a restaurant every day. Here are a few traits, which every manager must have.

Proactive Planning

Every restaurant manager must plan well in advance. Plan all the shifts for a particular week before the week starts. Record daily tasks, and make sure each starts the right way. If the starting is fine, the ending probably is too. Examine your inventory each morning or each night. The ingredients present should last throughout the day. Observe your staff as well. If anyone is idle for more than necessary, then re-plan his schedule.

Consistency

Consistency is really important for managers. Be consistent in all aspects of the restaurant. Don’t unnecessarily favor some employee. The staff would soon lose trust in you and would not perform up to the mark once they realize you are unjust. The same goes for the quality and service of food. The quantity and taste should be the same each and every time. This is what makes customers return, and it is your duty to provide them the same services as last time.

Communication

Communication between you and your employees should be frequent and effective. Arrange a meeting before each shift to review important points or any changes that have been made. Praise your employees if their work is commendable so they put in more effort. Give them incentives if they perform exceptionally well.

Tempo Management

You have to set the staff tempo if you are the restaurant manager. Urge them to quicken their pace especially in rush hours. Always be on time, and leave after everyone else has gone. They’ll only do all of this if they see you doing it. You have to set the standards and be the model which they follow.

Attitude Adjustment

Monitor your mood while you are at a restaurant. Your attitude cannot be negative in any case because your employees will catch the bad vibes off you. If you come to the restaurant in a bad mood, you will easily notice the negative atmosphere in a short while.

Multi – Tasking

You must master the ability to multi – task. Both employees and customers will call upon you if they face even the slightest of problems. Delegate some of your tasks to other employees. Always be on the move. Don’t stick to one thing for too long. Also, a good Restaurant Management Software to use can increase your overall efficiency.
