CHAPTER 1
COST AND SALES CONCEPTS
DHM
FOOD AND BEVERAGE COST CONTROL
INTRODUCTION
2
•Successful restaurant personnel, including chefs, restaurant managers,
food and beverage controllers, dining room managers, and stewards have
the ability to keep costs at predetermined levels. They understand that
successful operations require that costs be carefully established and
monitored so that profit will result.
•Food, beverage, and labor costs generally represent between 60% and
70% of the total costs of a restaurant operation. If these costs are not
carefully established and monitored, they can gradually increase until
profit is eliminated and losses are sustained.
Learning Objectives
3
1. Define the terms cost and sales .
2. Define and provide an example of the following types of costs: fixed,
directly variable, semi variable, controllable, non controllable, unit,
total, prime, historical, and planned.
3. Provide several examples illustrating monetary and nonmonetary sales
concepts.
4. Describe the significance of cost - to - sales relationships and identify
several cost - to - sales ratios important in food and beverage
management.
5. Identify the formulas used to compute cost percent and sales price.
6. Describe factors that cause industry wide variations in cost
percentages.
7. Explain the value of comparing current cost - to - sales ratios with
those for previous periods.
Cost Concepts
4
•Accountants define a cost as a reduction in the value of an
asset for the purpose of securing benefit or gains.
•In F&B Business cost is defined as the expense to a hotel or
restaurant of goods or service when the goods are consumed
or the service rendered.
•Food and beverage are “Consumed” when they are used,
wastefully or otherwise, and are no longer available for the
purpose which they were acquired.(Units: weight, volume or
total value)
•The cost of labor is incurred when people are on duty, whether
or not they are working and whether they are paid at the end
of the shift or at some later date. (Hourly or weekly or
monthly)
Cost Concept
5
•Fixed Cost (FC) and Variable Cost (VC) are used to
distinguished between those cost that have no direct
relationship to business and those that do.
•Fixed Cost are those that are normally unaffected by changes
in sales volume. Such as = real estate taxes, insurance
premiums, depreciation, repairs and maintenance, rent or
occupancy cost, most utility cost, advertisement, professional
services.
The term fixed should never taken to mean static or unchanging
but merely to indicate that any changes that may occur in such
cost are related only indirectly or distantly to changes in
business volume.
Cost Concept
6
•Variable Cost are those that are clearly related to business
volume. As business volume increase, variable cost will increase
and vice versa.
•Food & Beverage cost are considered directly variable cost.
Direct Variable Cost are those that are directly linked to
volume of business increase and decrease of volume
correspondingly.
•Payroll Cost includes salaries and wages and employee
benefits and often referred as Labor Cost.
Because labor cost consist of fixed and variable element it is
known as semi-variable cost, meaning a portion should change
in short-term and the other portion remains unchanged.
Cost Concept
7
CONTROLLABLE AND NON-CONTROLLABLE COST
•Controllable cost are those that can be change in the
short term such as Direct Variable Cost, Wages,
Advertising & Promotion, Utilities, Repairs &
Maintenance and Administration and General
Expenses.
•Non-Controllable cost are those that cannot normally be
changed in short-term such as fixed cost like Rent, Interest
on a mortgage, Real estate taxes, License fee and
Depreciation.
Cost Concept
8
•Unit Cost may be food & beverage portion as in the cost of
one item or hourly unit of work. In F&B business unit cost
are commonly in average unit cost rather then actual
unit cost.
•Total Cost are the total of food & beverage portions served
in one period such as a week or a month or total cost of
labor for one period.
Cost Concept
9
•Prime Cost is a term used in the Hotel Industry refer to the cost
of materials and labor. (Food, Beverage and Payroll)
•Historical and Planned Costs
•Historical cost are all cost are historical - that is, that they can
be found in business records, book of account, financial
statements, invoices, employees’ time card and other similar
records. It is used for establishing unit cost, determining menu
prices and comparing present with past labor cost.
•It will be used for planning and determining the future to develop
planned costs - projections of what cost will be or should be for
a future period. It is often called as Budgeting.
Industry-wide Variations in Cost
10
Cost percentage vary considerably from one foodservice operation to
other. This is due to many possible reasons.
Basically there are two types of foodservice operation.
• Those that operate at low profit margin and depends on relatively
high business volume.
• Those that operate at relatively high profit margin thus does not
require high business volume.
Sales Concept
11
Sales Defined
In general, the term sales is defined as revenue resulting
from the exchange for a products (Food & Beverage) and
service (Waiter) for value ($$).
The sales concept in F&B operation usually can be express
as: monetary and non-monetary.
Monetary Terms
12
•Total Sales is a term that refers to the total volume of
expressed in dollar term for instant any given period , such as a
week, a month or a year.
By Category. Total dollar volume of sales by category are
total food sales or total beverage sales. Or total steak sales or
seafood sales.
By Server. This is total dollar volume of sales for which a
given server has been responsible in a given period. This is to
help the management to make judgment on employees
performance.
By Seat. Usually for a year period. Total Dollar sales divided
by the number of seats in the restaurant.
Monetary Terms
13
•Sales Price refers to the amount charged each customer
purchasing one unit of a particular item. It can be a single meal or
entire meal.
•Average Sale in business is determine by adding individual sales
to determine a total and then dividing that total by the number of
individual sales. Two types of commonly calculated averages are:
average sale per customer and average sale per server.
Per Customer is the result of dividing total dollar sales by the
number of sales or customer.
Per Server is total dollar sales for an individual server divided
by number of customer served by that individual.
Average Sale
 This average is determined as follows:
Average check = Total dollar sales ÷ Total number of covers
Total sales of $3,902.30 and 140 covers. Thus,
Average sale = $3,902.30 ÷ 140
= $27.87
 Yasser, one of the servers, had 30 customers and total dollar
sale of $565 on the Saturday night of February 13, average sale
per server for Jim would be calculated as follows:
Average sale = Total sales for Yasser ÷ No. of customers for
Yasser
= $565 ÷ 30
= $18.83
Non-Monetary Terms
15
•Total Number Sold refers to the total number of menu item sold
in a given time period.
•Cover is the term used to describe one diner regardless of the
quantity of good the person consumes.
•Total Cover refer to the total number of customer served in a
given period. Help to make judgment & comparisons
•Average Covers is determined y dividing the total number of cover
for a given period by some other number such as hour of operation,
day of operation or numbers of server.
1. Cover per Hour = Total Covers / No. of Hours of Op.
2. Covers per Day = Total Covers / No. of Days of Op.
3. Covers per Server = Total Covers / No. of Servers
Non-Monetary Terms
16
Seat Turnover or simply turnover refer to the number of seats
occupied during a given period (or number of cover) divided by the
number of seats available.
140 customers served during that one Saturday meal.
The restaurant has 75 seats, so seat turnover would be calculated
as follows:
Seat turnover = Number of customers served ÷ Number
of seats
= 140 ÷ 75
= 1.87 turns
Non-Monetary Terms
Sales Mix is a term used to describe the relative quantity sold
of any menu item compared to other items in the same
category.
Sales Mix For the Sugar & Spice Restaurant
August 20xx
Menu Item Portion Sales Sales Mix
Strip steak 1,000 12.5%
Ginger shrimp 1,200 15.0
Lamb chop 1,800 22.5
Vege buritto 2,400 30.0
Chicken chop 1,600 20.0
Totals 8,000 100.0%
The Cost-to-Sales Ratio
18
Foodservice establishment calculate cost in dollars and compare
those cost to sales in dollars. This enable them to discuss the
relationship between cost and sales or the cost per dollar of sale.
Cost ÷ Sales = Cost per dollar of sale
decimal answer, and any decimal can be converted to a percentage
if one multiplies it by 100 and adds a percent
sign (%).
Cost ÷ Sales x 100 = Cost%
$ 312,090 ÷ $ 891,687 = .35 and .35 x 100 = 35.0 %
Food cost ÷ Food sales x 100 =Food cost%
Beverage cost ÷ Beverage sales x 100 = Beverage cost%
Labor cost ÷ Total sales x 100 = Labor cost%
The Cost-to-Sales Ratio
19
The formula also can be use to determine the Sales price if the
cost% is known.
Cost ÷ cost% = Sales(or Sales Price)
If the given cost percentage were 30.0 percent and the food cost
for the item were $3.60, the appropriate sales price would be
$12.00, illustrated here
30.0 % ÷ 100 = 0.3
$ 3.60 ÷ 0.3 = $12.00
The Cost-to-Sales Ratio
20
The formula also can be use to determine the cost if the spending
power and cost% is known.
Suppose this banquet manager is dealing with a group willing to
spend $15.00 per person for a banquet, and the same given 30.0
percent cost percent is to apply. Calculation of the maximum
permissible cost per person is facilitated by rearranging the
formula once again:
Sales x Cost % ( expressed as a decimal ) = Cost
Sales X Cost % = Cost
So the cost per person can be calculated as $4.50:
30.0 % ÷ 100 = 0.3
$ 15.00 X 0.3 = $ 4.50

CHAPTER 2
THE CONTROL PROCESS
DHM
FOOD AND BEVERAGE COST CONTROL
The Control Process
26
Introduction
The control in the F&B industry really means controlling people
action. These are the factors:-
•Food does not disappear by itself, without help
•Excess quantity of food and beverage into the plate and glass.
•Employees’ wages calculation are not base on the wrong
numbers of hours unless someone gives the wrong
information.
•Food are not consumed by pest unless made available by
human
•Customer seldom leave without paying unless make possible.
Managing Income & Expenses
27
Food Service Management
It is important that the foodservice manager must be a
talented individual. These criteria are true:
The person must be able to grab opportunities & profit
oriented
A unique sales person
Good personality with the guest
Hard working person and most important
The person is the controller or regulator of the operation to
achieved maximized profits and minimize costs.
Managing Income & Expenses
28
INCOME
Income can be managed in may ways thus to insure profit.
Increasing income can be done by increasing the number of guest
and the amount of money they spent.
This goal can be achieved by suggestive selling, creative menu
pricing and discount.
Our main goal in this course is not to sale but controlling expenses.
EXPENSES
There are four major expense categories that must be controlled by
management. They are…
FOOD COST, BEVERAGE COST, LABOR COST & OTHER
EXPENSES
The Control Process
29
1.Definition of Control
Control is a process used by managers to direct, regulate and
restrain the actions of people so that the established goals of
an enterprise may be achieved.
2.Cost Control Defined
Cost Control defined as the process used by managers to
regulate cost and guard against excessive costs.
It is an ongoing process throughout the operation.
Two principle of the principal causes of excessive cost are
inefficiency and waste.
The Control Process
30
3. Sales Control
Sales Control is important to ensure that all sales results in
appropriate income to the business. Therefore, it is important
to require that each employees record each sales accurately.
(Checks, duplicates, bills or etc.)
4. Responsibility For Control
Responsibility is clearly falls onto the management, but the
task on controlling differ due to the nature of the
establishment.
Small establishment the control responsibility usually taken by
the management but for larger establishment it is delegated
to the assistant manager or controller.
The Control Process
31
5. Instituting Control
Food & beverage establishment usually involves process of
raw material purchased, received, stored and issued for the
purpose of manufacturing products for sale and services.
At each stage of operation, it is necessary to institute control
in order to stop pilferage or problems.
Each control must be suitable to each of the operation,
depends on the nature of material and service requiring
control and on the degree of difficulty inherent
(fundamentals) in instituting the control.
The Control Techniques
32
1. Establishing Standard
•Standard are defined as rules or measures established for
making comparisons and judgments.
•Quality Standards are used to define the degree of excellence of
raw materials, finished products and by extensions, work
performed.
•Quantity Standard are defined as measures of weight, count or
volume used to make comparisons and judgment.
•Standard Cost is defined as the cost of goods or services
identified, approved and accepted by management in order to
make judgment and comparisons of the effectiveness of the
operation. Thus standard cost must be calculated as accurately as
possible.
The Control Techniques
33
2. Establishing Procedures
Procedures are the method employed to prepare products or
perform jobs.
Standard Procedures are those that have be established as the
correct methods, routines and techniques for day-to-day
operations.
Example:
Production procedures must be standardized for several reasons.
One of the most important of these is customer satisfaction. Any
given item should be produced by the same method and with the
same ingredients every time it is served. It should also be served
in the same quantity each time, partly so that regular customers
will be given the same quantity each time they order the item, and
partly to maintain cost standards.
The Control Techniques
3. Training
Training is a process by which managers teach employees
how work is to be done, given the standards and standards
procedures established.
Example;
if management has established a standard 4 - ounce portion
size for hamburgers, then all employees responsible for
producing portions of hamburgers must be made aware that
4 ounces is the correct portion size.
The Control Techniques
35
4. Setting Example
Employees in an operation follow the examples set by the
manager — the manager ’ s behavior, manner, responses to
questions, and even a failure to speak or take action in some
situations.
The behavior of individuals in a group tends to be influenced by
the actions, statements and attitudes of their leaders.
Work Habits, attitudes, behavior, spirit of a manager are the
evident.
If the manager who has occasion to help employees plate food for
the dining room serves incorrect portion sizes, employees will be
more likely to do the same when the manager is not there.
Similarly, if a manager is inclined to wrap parcels of food to take
home for personal use, employees will be more likely to do so.
The Control Techniques
36
5. Observing and Correcting Employee Actions
One of a manager ’ s important tasks is to observe the actions of
all employees continually as they go about their daily jobs,
judging those actions in the light of the standards and standard
procedures established for their work.
If any employees are failing to follow the standards, it is a
manager’s responsibility to correct their performance to the extent
necessary at the appropriate time.
The Control Techniques
37
6. Requiring Records and Reports
Recording and reports is an important element in control as these
information helps in decision making, judgment & comparisons of
the operations. One such report is the statement of income.
Example;
it is important to recognize that managers need timely
information to determine whether primary goals and sub goals
are being met. If timely records and reports are not available,
opportunities for taking corrective action may be lost.
The Control Techniques
38
7. Discipline Employees
Discipline is defined as action taken to give a warning, punish or
telling off an employee for work performance or personal
behavior incompatible with established standards
It is seldom practice but only used as a deterrent or if corrective
action failed.
By selecting the right people for the various jobs — those with
the experience, skill, and personal characteristics that match the
job requirements the number of individuals requiring some level
of discipline can be reduced to a bare minimum. However, every
manager must face the fact that, at times, an individual staff
member must be disciplined.
39
8. Preparing and Following Budgets
Preparing and following budgets may be the most common
technique for controlling business operations
Budget is defined as a financial plan and may be describe as a
realistic expression of management’s goals and objectives
expressed in financial terms. (Cash flow budget, capital
equipment budget and advertising budget.)
Operation Budget is the most important budget for F&B
manager. It is a forecast of sales activity and an estimate of
cost that will be incurred in the process of generating those
sales.
The Control Techniques
40
PREPARING AN OPERATING BUDGET
1. An operating budget is normally prepared using historical
information from previous budget and other financial records.
2. The second step is to calculated the percentage and analysis of
the previous records.
3. Then making assumption or judgment base on all the
influencing factors that might effect the business operation
during the forecasted period, and computing into the new
budget.
Flexible budget normally prepared for levels of business volume
above and below the expected level. (See Illustration)

CHAPTER 3
COST/VOLUME/PROFIT
RELATIONSHIP
DHM
FOOD AND BEVERAGE COST CONTROL
Cost/Volume/Profit Relationship
46
Introduction
The Key to understand cost/volume/profit relationship lies in
understanding that fixed costs exist in an operation regardless of
sale volume and that it is necessary to generate sufficient total
volume to cover both fixed and variable costs as well as desired
profit.
It should be apparent that relationship exist between and among
sales, cost of sales, cost of labor, cost of overhead and profit. In fact
these relationship can be expressed as follows:
Sales = Cost of sales + Cost of labor + cost of overhead +
profit.
Cost/Volume/Profit Relationship
47
The relationship formula
Because cost of sale is variable, cost of labor includes fixed and
variable elements and cost of overhead is fixed, one should restate
this equation as follows:
S = VC + FC + P
In fact this is the basic equation of cost/volume/profit analysis
S = Sales
VC = Variable Cost
FC = Fixed Cost
P = Profit.
Cost/Volume/Profit Relationship
48
Three guideline of references to remember
1. Within the normal range of business operations, there is a
relationship between variable costs and sales that remains
relatively constant. That relationship is a ratio that is normally
expressed either as a percentage or as a decimal point.
2. By Contrast, fixed costs tend to remain constant in dollar terms,
regardless of changes in dollar sales volume. Consequently,
whether expressed as a percentage or as decimal, the relationship
between fixed costs and sales changes as sales volume increase or
decrease.
3. Once acceptable levels are determined for costs, they must be
controlled if the operation is to be profitable.
COST OF SALES
Food 96,678.00
Beverage 12,188.00
PAYROLL 81259.00
OTHER CONTROLLABLE EXPENSES 46,750.00
OCCUPANCY COST 29,500.00
INTEREST EXPENSES 5,000.00
DEPRECIATION 16,250.00
FIXED AND VARIABLE COST
S=VC+FC+P
50
Step (1). Determine total variable cost
Total variable cost consists of food cost, beverage cost,
and the variable portion of labor cost. We will assume
that labor cost is $81259.00 40% variable and 60%
fixed.
Food Cost $96,678.00
Beverage Cost 12,188.00
Variable labor Cost (40%) 32,503.60
Total Variable Cost 141,369.60
S=VC+FC+P
51
Step (2) Determine total fixed cost
Fixed labor Cost (60%) $48,755.40
Other Controllable Exp. 46,750.00
Occupancy Cost 29,500.00
Interest 5,000.00
Depreciation 16,250.00
Total Fixed Cost 146,255.40
Profit desired is $37,375.00
The basic cost/volume/profit equation at the level of sales
is:
S=VC(141,369.60)+FC(146,255.40)+P(37,375)
S=$325,000.00
Variable Rate & Contribution Rate
52
Variable Rate is the ratio of variable cost to dollar sales.
It is obviously determined by dividing variable cost by
dollar sales and is expresses in decimal form.
Variable Rate (VR) = Variable Cost / Sales
or VR = VC / S
VR= VC (141,375) / S (325,000)
VR=.435
43.5 percent of dollar sales is needed to cover the variable costs, or that
$0.435 of each dollar of sales is required for that purpose.
53
If 43.5% of dollar sales is needed to cover VC, then
the remainder 56.5% is available for other purpose:
1. Meeting Fixed Costs
2. Providing Profit
Thus, $0.565 of each dollar of sales is available to
contribute to covering fixed costs and providing profit.
This percentage (or ratio, or rate) is known as the
Contributing rate or CR.
# The contributing rate is determined by subtracting
the variable rate from 1.
CR = 1 - VR
= 1 - .435
= .565
Variable Rate & Contribution Rate
Breakeven Point
54
No business can be termed profitable until all of the fixed
cost have been met.
• if sales cannot cover both variable cost & fixed cost it is
operating at a loss
• if sales can cover both variable cost & fixed cost exactly
but insufficient to provide any profit.
(I.e, profit = 0) the business is said to be operating at the
breakeven point (BE)
Changing the Breakeven Point
Two ways to change Breakeven point is by
1. Increase menu price
2. Reduce Variable cost
Calculate CVP
55
Gather all the information that have been calculated
Sales = 325,000.00
VC = 141,375.00
FC = 146,250.00
Profit = 37,375.00
VR = .435
CR = .565
Sales = or
This formula can be used to determine the level of dollar sales
required to earn any profit that one might choose to put into the
equation.
Fixed Cost + Profit
Contribution Rate
S= FC + P
CR
146,250 + 37,375
.565
Sales = 325,000
Sales =
Calculate Breakeven Point
56
By using the same formula, we can actually can determine the Breakeven
point, a which profit would be equal to zero dollar
Sales = $146,250 + 0
.565
S =
FC + P
CR
Sales = $258,849.55
rounded as = $258,850.00
At this level
VC is 43.5% of sales = 112,599.75 or 112,600.00
(S)$258,850 = (VC)$112,600 + (FC)$146,250 +(P)$0.00
Breakeven Analysis
57
The Graduate Restaurant achieved sales level of $325,000, which
was $66,150 beyond BE. At this level, beyond BE, there are no
more fixed cost to be cover for each dollar of sales but have
variable cost. Variable Cost can be determined by multiplying S
(Sales) by VR (Variable Rate) = .435
VC = S X VR
(VC) $28,775 = (S) $66,150 X (VR) .435
If $28,775 in VC is subtracted from sales of $66,150 the result
$37,375 is equal to profit (P). It consist of $0.565 of each dollar
sales beyond BE.
(P) $37,375 = (S) $66,160 x (CR) .565
Contribution Margin
58
Each dollar of sales, may also be divided in two portions.
1. That which must be used to cover variable cost associated with
the item sold.
2. That which remains to cover fixed costs and to provide profit.
The dollar amount remaining after VC have been subtracted from
the sales dollar is defined as the Contribution Margin (CM).
Contribution Margin must go to cover all fixed and variable cost
until breakeven is reached, after breakeven is reached,
contribution margin becomes profit.
Sales - Variable Cost = Contribution Margin
Cost/Volume/Profit Analysis
59
Certain assumptions that need to be understand in C.V.P analysis are:
1. Cost is a particular establishment can be classified as fixed and
variable with reasonable accuracy.
2. Variable cost are directly variable
3. Fixed cost are relatively stable and will remain so within the relevant
range of business operations
4. Sales prices will remain constant for the period covered by the
analysis
5. The sales mix in the restaurant will also remain relatively constant for
the period.
CVP Analysis
60
The questions that we want to answer through CVP analysis are
likely to be:
•What profit will be established earn at a given sales level?
•What level of sale will be required to earn in given profit?
•How many sales (or cover) will be required in order to reach the
breakeven point?
The question that con be sort into the different categories:
1. Those requiring answer stated in term of money
2. Those requiring answer stated in term of number of sales.
Dollar Formulas & Calculation
61
Formula # 1
Formula to determining the dollar sales level required to
earn any planned or targeted profit, given a dollar total of
fixed cost and an expected variable rate (VR)
This formula can also be use to determine BE by P = 0
Formula # 2 CR = FC + P/S
Formula # 3 P = (S X CR) – FC
Formula # 4 FC = (S X CR) – P
S =
FC + P
1 -VR (or CR)
 the total of the contribution margins for all sales is used to cover
fixed costs and provide a profit. If one knows the average
contribution margin per sale and the dollar figure for fixed costs, it
is then possible to calculate the number of sales, or customers,
needed to cover fixed costs and the desired profit.
 For example, if the financial records of a small restaurant
indicated
 sales of $48,000 and variable costs of $18,000 in a period when
3,000 customers were served, then:
48,000 sales ÷ 3,000 customers = $ 16.00 average sales
18,000 variable costs ÷ 3,000 customers = $ 6.00 average variable
costs
NUMBER OF CUSTOMER TO BREAK EVEN
 determine average contribution margin
Average S $16.00 - Average VC 6.00
= Average CM $10.00
 BEP in Customers = FC ÷ Average CM
 to determine the number of customers required to achieve
a given profit, one simply adds profit to fixed cost and
divides by average contribution margin.
 Number of Customers = FC + Profit ÷ Average CM
 Assume that fixed cost for the period was $30,000
Number of Customers = $30,000 ÷ $10
3,000 customers

CHAPTER 4
FOOD PURCHASING AND RECEIVING CONTROL
DHM
FOOD AND BEVERAGE COST CONTROL
Food Purchasing Control
69
Responsibility for Purchasing
The responsibility of purchasing can be delegate to any
one in the foodservice operation depending on
organizational structure and management policies.
Control Process and Purchasing
Four steps in the control process apply here:
1. Requiring that standards and standard procedures
be established
2. That employees be trained to follow those standards
and standard procedures
3.That employee out-put be monitored and compared
to established standards
4. Remedial action be taken as needed
Food Purchasing Control
70
Perishable and Non-perishable
Perishable are those items, typically fresh foods, that
have a comparatively short useful life after they have
been received. Should be purchased for immediate use
only as they deteriorate quickly.
Non-perishable are those food items that have a
longer shelf life. Often referred to as groceries or
staple. They may be stored in the containers in which
they are received, stored on shelf at room temperature
for weeks or months. They do not deteriorate quickly.
Developing Standards & Standard
Procedures
71
Establishing control over purchasing ensure a continuing
supply of sufficient quantities of the necessary foods,
with each of quality appropriate to its intended use and
purchase at the most favorable price.
Standard must be develop for:
1. The quality of food purchased
2. The quantity of food purchased
3. The price at which food is purchased
Establishing Quality Standards
72
•It is important first to determine which perishable &
non-perishable food is required in order to produce
products of consistent quality.
•Thus it is important to draw up the list of all food
items to be purchased, including those specific and
distinctive characteristic that best describe the desired
quality of each in written description also known as
standard purchase specifications.
•It is usually base on federal grading or common
market grading.
Establishing Quality Standards
73
Through Standard Purchasing Specification :
1. To determine exact requirement in advance for any
products
2. To purchased according to specification to prepare
several different items on the menu.
3. They eliminate misunderstanding
4. To have standard competitive bidding
5. They eliminate for detail verbal description
6. To facilitate checking food as it is received.
Establishing Quantity Standard
74
•Quantity standard for purchasing are subjected to
continual review and revision, often on a daily basis.
•Perishable Item .The correct amount must be
purchased to avoid wastage.
•A basic requirement of the purchasing routine is to
take daily inventory of perishable.
•The routine requires that determinations be made of
anticipate total needs for each item, base on future
menus and often on experience as well.
Establishing Quantity Standard
75
Non-perishable items does not present the problem of
rapid deterioration, the do represent considerable amount
of money invested in material in storage. The goal here is
to avoid excessive quantities on hand. Through proper
planning.
The ways to maintain inventories of non perishables at
appropriate levels, most are variations on two basic
methods:
1. Periodic order method
2. Perpetual inventory method
Periodic order method
 A method for ordering food or beverages based on fixed
order dates and variable order quantities. The calculation
of the amount of each item to order is comparatively
simple:
Amount required for the upcoming period
-Amount presently on hand
+ Amount wanted on hand at the end of the period to
last until the next delivery
=Amount to order
Periodic order method
orders for non perishables are placed every two weeks, one of the
items ordered is crushed tomatoes, purchased in cans, packed 6
cans to a case. The item is used at the rate of 7 cans per week,
and delivery normally takes five days from the date an order is
placed. If the steward in this establishment found 9 cans on the
shelf, anticipated a use of 14 cans during the upcoming period
of approximately two weeks, and wanted 10 cans on hand at the
end of that period, the calculation would be:
14 cans required
- 9 cans on hand
+10 cans to be left at the end of the period
(desired ending inventory)
= 15 cans to be ordered on this date
 Both delivery time and daily usage for the period must be used to
determine the DEI. Furthermore, it is advisable to include some
additional quantity to serve as a safety factor, just in case the
normal delivery is delayed or business volume is higher than
expected in the coming period. For the example given, the
calculations for DEI would be as follows:
 Daily usage X Number of days in delivery period = Normal usage
 Normal usage + Safety factor (50%) =DEI
 14 cans per week ÷ 7 days = 2 cans per day
 2 cans per day X 5 days in delivery period = 10 cans normal usage
 10 cans normal usage + 50% safety factor =15 cans DEI
 This is known as the Reorder Point in the Perpetual Order Method
Establishing Quantity Standard
79
Perpetual Inventory Method
1. To ensure that quantity purchase are sufficient not excessive
2. To provide effective control on stored item for the future.
The reorder point is quite simply the number of units to which
the supply on hand should decrease before additional orders are
placed.
The Par Stock means simply the maximum quantity of a given
item that should be on hand. This helps to
1. Storage space
2. Limits on total value of inventory
3. Desired frequency of ordering
4. Usage
5. Purveyors’ minimum order requirements
Establishing Quantity Standard
 Reorder point is calculated in the following manner. If normal usage
is 14 cans per week and it takes five days from date of order to get
delivery, then the basic number of cans needed is 10. However,
because delivery may be delayed, because usage may increase for
unforeseen reasons, or because both of those possibilities may
occur at once, it is advisable to increase that amount somewhat.
 The amount of the increase is a matter for management to decide.
For our purposes, we will use 50 percent for all calculations. If that
were so in this case, the reorder point would be set at 15 cans.
Under the periodic method, the DEI would similarly be calculated as
15 cans.
Par stock 20
-Reorder point 15
=Subtotal 5
+Normal usage until delivery 10
=Reorder quantity 15
80
Establishing standard for Price
81
The availability of sources of supply varies considerably from one location to another.
It depends on ownership policy, availability of supplies and general market condition,
supplies can be choose from:
•Wholesalers
•Local producers
•Manufactures
•Packers
•Local farms
•Retailers
•Cooperative association
Perishable because prices for perishable often fluctuate daily it is necessary to find the
price from different supplier through telephones.
Non-Perishable normally with fewer suppliers with lowest price and consistent quality,
small quantity & delivery wise.
Centralized Purchasing
82
This is usually used in chain operations and occasionally established by small groups
of independent operator with similar needs/
Advantage.
•Purchased at lowest price because of volume
•Desired quality as agent has greater choice
•Obtain exact specification
•Larger inventory ensuring reliable supply
•Dishonest greatly reduced.
Disadvantage
•Little freedom for its particular needs
•No advantage on local specials at reduce price
•Limiting changes of menu.
Food Receiving Control
83
INTRODUCTION
The primary objective of receiving control is to verify that quantities, qualities
and price of food delivered conform to orders placed.
The person that usually responsible for this job is given the job title as
“receiving clerk’.
Establishing standard for receiving
Established standards to govern the receiving process are:
• The quantity delivered should be the same as the quantity listed on order forms
and also should be identical as the quantity listed on the invoice or delivery bill.
•The quality of item delivered should conform to the establishment’s standard
purchase specification for that item
•The prices on the invoice should be the same as those stated on the order form
Establishing standard for receiving

Example of Standard procedure for receiving
1. Verify that the quantity, quality and price for each item delivered
conforms exactly to the order place
2. Acknowledge that quantity, quality and price have been verified
by stamping the invoice with the rubber invoice stamp provided
for that purpose
3. List all invoices for foods delivered on a given day on the
Receiving Clerk’s Daily Report for that day, and complete the
report as required, or enter appropriate information directly into
a computer terminal
4. Forward complete paperwork to proper personnel
5. Move food to appropriate storage areas.

INVOICE STAMP
rubber stamp used by a receiver to overprint a small form on an
invoice for the purpose of recording the data on which goods
were received, as well as the signature of the several
individuals verifying the accuracy of data on the invoice.
1. Verification of the date on which food was received
2. The signature of the clerk receiving the food who vouches for
the accuracy of quantity, quality and price.
3. The steward’s signature, indicating that the steward knows the
food has been delivered
4. The food controller’s verification of the arithmetical accuracy of
the bill.
5. Signatory approval of the bill for payment by an authorized
individual before a check is drawn.

Listing Invoices on Receiving Clerk’s Daily Report
88
Receiving Clerk’s daily Report is an important accounting
documents.
Food is divided into at least two categories:
•Item Purchase for immediate use – direct (extremely
perishable nature that are purchased more or less daily basis for
immediate use) – and will become the cost immediately.
•Item Purchase to be kept in inventory – store (Meat, cans,
bottles and boxed) – and will become the cost when the item is
issued for production.
The Receiving Clerk’s Daily Report is prepared by receiving clerk,
who merely copies data from each invoice to appropriate columns
on the reported and then enters the total for each invoice into
one of the three columns under the general heading “Purchase
Journal Distribution” – Food Direct, Food Stores or
Sundries.

CHAPTER 5
FOOD STORING & ISSUING CONTROL
DHM
FOOD AND BEVERAGE COST CONTROL
Food Storing & Issuing Control
93
STORING CONTROL:
ESTABLISHING STANDARDS AND STANDARD
PROCEDURES FOR STORING
In general, the standard established for storing food should
address five principal concerns:
1. Condition of facilities and equipment
2. Arrangement of Food
3. Security of Storage areas
4. Location of Storage Facilities
5. Dating and pricing of stored food
Factor 1. Condition of facilities and equipment
94
The factor that involves in maintaining proper internal
conditions include:
 Temperature (Key factors in storing food especially for
perishable item)
 Food life can be maximized when food is stored at the
correct temperature and at the proper level of
humidity.
Fresh meats: 34 – 36 ° F (1-2 °C)
Fresh produce: 34 – 36 ° F (1-2 °C)
Fresh dairy products: 34 – 36 ° F (1-2 °C)
Fresh fish: 30 – 34 ° F (-1 to 1°C)
Frozen foods: 10 – 0 ° F (-23 to -18°C)
 Storage Container (Appropriate container especially for staple
food, fresh food and cooked or processed food)
 Shelving (Shelving should be slatted to permit maximum air
circulation for perishable material and solid steel shelving for
non-perishable, and raised a few inches above the floor level)
 Cleanliness (Absolute cleanliness)
Factor 1. Condition of facilities and
equipment
Factor 2: Arrangement of Foods
96
 Factors involved in maintaining appropriate internal
arrangement of food include:
1. Keeping the Most-Used item readily available. (Kept most
used item closest to the entrance tend to reduce the time
required to move needed foods from storage to
production and thus tends to reduce labor costs.)
2. Fixing definite location
(Each particular item should always be found in the same
location, and attention should be given to ensuring that
new deliveries of the item are stored in the same
location.)
3. Rotation of Stock (FIFO system)
(storing new deliveries of an item behind the quantities
already on hand, thus ensuring that older items will be
used first. This reduces the possibilities for spoilage.)
Factor 3: Location of Storage Facilities
97
 the storage facilities for both perishable and
nonperishable foods should be located between receiving
areas and preparation areas, preferably close to both. A
properly located storage facility will have four effects:
1. Speeding the storing and issuing of food
2. Maximizing security
3. Reducing labor requirements
4. Minimizing infestation of rodents and other unwanted
creatures
Factor 4: Security
98
 Food should never be stored in a manner that permits
pilferage. That is another reason for moving foods from
the receiving area to storage as quickly as possible.
 Employees should not be permitted to remove items at
will. Typically, a storeroom is kept open at specified times
for specified periods well known to the staff and is
otherwise closed to enable the storeroom clerk to attend
to other duties.
 When the storeroom is closed, it should be locked, and
the single key should be in the storeroom clerk ’s
possession. In such cases, one additional emergency
backup key is usually kept by the manager or in the
office safe.
Factor 5: Dating and Pricing
99
 It is desirable to date items as they are put away on
shelves, so that the storeroom clerk can be certain of
the age of all items and make provisions for their use
before they can spoil.
 all items should be priced as goods are put away, with
the cost of each package clearly marked on the
package. Following this procedure will greatly simplify
issuing, because the storeroom clerk will be able to
price requisitions with little difficulty.
Food Storing & Issuing Control
100
ISSUING CONTROL:
ESTABLISHING STANDARDS AND STANDARD
PROCEDURES FOR ISSUING
There are two elements in the issuing process:
(1) The physical movement of foods from storage facilities
to food preparation areas
Physical Movement of Food from storage facilities is the
movement of food from the storage facilities to the preparation
area. Practices for doing this varies from one establishment to
other establishment due to the management policies and
procedures and priority
Issuing Control: Establishing Standard and
Standard Procedure for Issuing
101
(2) The record keeping associated with determining the cost of
the food issued.
DIRECT
Direct are charge to food cost as they are received directly on
assumption that these perishable item have been purchased for
immediate use. Figures in “FOOD DIRECT” column in Receiving
Clerk’s Daily Report will be calculated directly into the particular
day food cost.
Issuing Control: Establishing Standard and
Standard Procedure for Issuing
102
(2) The record keeping associated with determining the cost of
the food issued.
STORES
The food category known as stores was previously described as
consisting of staples. When purchased, these foods are
considered part of inventory until issued for use and are not
included in cost figures until they are issued. Therefore, it
follows that records of issues must be kept in order to determine
the cost of stores. For control purposes, a system must be
established to ensure that no stores are issued unless kitchen
personnel submit lists of the items and quantities needed.
Issuing Control: Establishing Standard and
Standard Procedure for Issuing
103
(2) The record keeping associated with determining the cost of
the food issued.
The Requisition is a form filled in by a member of the kitchen staff. It
lists the items and quantities of stores that the kitchen staff needs
for the current day ’ s production. Each
requisition should be reviewed by the chef, who should check to see
that all required items are listed and that the quantity listed for each
is accurate. If the list of items and quantities is correct, the chef
signs and thus approves the requisition.

Food & Beverage Transfer
105
 F&B Transfer means the transfer of item intended for a section to
another section that requires it.
 Intra-unit Transfer
are food and beverage transfers between departments of a food
and beverage operation. They include transfers of food and liquor
between the kitchen and bar, and between kitchen and kitchen in
those larger operations that have multiple feeding facilities.
Between Bar and Kitchen
Many kitchens use beverage items such as wine, cordials, brandy, and
even ale to produce sauces, parfaits, certain baked items, and rarebits.
Occasionally, these beverages are purchased by the food department for
use in the kitchen, kept in a storeroom until needed, and then issued on
requisitions directly to the kitchen
Food & Beverage Transfer
106
 Inter-unit Transfer are transfers of food and beverage between
units in a chain. The two examples that follow illustrate inter unit
transfers and the effect of such transfers on food costs. In some
instances, small chains produce some items (e.g., baked goods) in
only one unit and then distribute those items to other units in the
chain. If the ingredients for the baked goods come from that
particular unit ’ s regular supplies, then some record must be
made of the cost of the ingredients used.
CHAPTER 7
FOOD PRODUCTION CONTROL
I. PORTIONS
DHM
FOOD AND BEVERAGE COST CONTROL
Food Production Control I. Portions
 The standards and standard procedures for production control are
designed to ensure that all portions of any given item conform to
management ’ s plans for that item and that, as far as possible, each
portion of any given item is identical to all other portions of the
same item.
 Portion for any given menu should be identical in 4 respect.
1. Ingredients
2. Proportions of ingredients
3. Production methods
4. Quantity
 To achieved the 4 respected areas we need to have
1. Standard Portion Size
2. Standard Recipe
3. Standard Portion Cost
Standard Portion Size
109
 One of the most important standards that any foodservice operation
must establish is the standard portion size , defined as the quantity of
any item that is to be served each time that item is ordered. In effect,
the standard portion size for any item is the fixed quantity of a given
menu item that management intends to give each customer in return
for the fixed selling price identified in the menu. It is possible and
desirable for management to establish these fixed quantities in very
clear terms. Every item on a menu can be quantified in one of three
ways: by weight, by volume, or by count.
 Every item on a menu can be quantified in one of the three way:
 By Weight
Can be expresses in ounce or grams used to measure portion sizes for
a number of menu items.
 By Volume
Is used as the measure for portion of many menu items usually that of
liquid in nature, Milk, soup, juices of coffees
 By Count
Used to identify portion size, such as sausage, eggs and shrimps
Standard Portion Size
110
 Many devices are available to help foodservice operators standardize
portion sizes. Among the more common are the aforementioned scoops
and slotted spoons, as well as ladles, portion scales, and measuring cups.
Even the number scale or dial on a slicing machine, designed to regulate
the thickness of slices, can aid in standardizing portion size: A manager
may stipulate a particular number of slices of an item on a sandwich and
then direct that the item be sliced with the dial at a particular setting
 Advantages for practicing Standard Portion Size
 It helps reduce customer discontent as the customer cannot compare his
or her portion unfavorably with that of other customer and feel
dissatisfied or cheated.
 It help to eliminate animosity of miscommunication between the kitchen
staff and the server over the portion size that lead to delay in the serving
of food.
 It help to eliminate excessive costs of over portioned menu.
 Price on the menu is usually fixed, thus it will also reflect the portion size
of the menu. If the portion size is constantly change then it will
dissatisfied the customer and server.
Standard Recipe
111
 Another important production standard is the recipe. A recipe is a list of
the ingredients and the quantities of those ingredients needed to
produce a particular item, along with a procedure or method to follow.
A standard recipe is the recipe that has been designated the correct one
to use in a given establishment.
 Standard recipes help to ensure that the quality of any item will be the
same each time the item is produced. They also help to establish
consistency of taste, appearance, and customer acceptance.
 the same ingredients are used in the correct proportions and the same
procedure is followed, the results should be nearly identical each time
the standard recipe is used, even if different people are doing the work.
In addition, returning customers will be more likely to receive items of
identical quality.
 Standard recipes are also very important to food control. Without
standard recipes, costs cannot be controlled effectively. If a menu item
is produced by different methods, with different ingredients, and in
different proportions each time it is made, costs will be different each
time any given quantity is produced
Food and Beverage Cost Control
Standard Portion Cost
113
 A standard portion cost can be calculated for every item on every
menu, provided that the ingredients, proportions, production methods,
and portion sizes have been standardized as previously discussed. In
general, calculating standard portion cost merely requires that one
determine the cost of each ingredient used to produce a quantity of a
given menu item, add the costs of the individual ingredients to arrive at
a total, and then divide the total by the number of portions produced.
 Standard portion cost is defined as the dollar amount that a standard
portion should cost, given the standards and standard procedures for its
production. The standard portion cost for a given menu item can be
viewed as a budget for the production of one portion of that item. There
are several reasons for determining standard portion costs. The most
obvious is that one should have a reasonably clear idea of the cost of a
menu item before establishing a menu sales price for that item
CALCULATING STANDARD PORTION COSTS
 There are several methods for calculating standard portion costs:
1. Formula
For many (perhaps even for a majority) of the menu items prepared in
foodservice establishments, determining standard portion cost can be very
simple. For a large number of items, one may determine portion cost by means
of this formula:
Standard portion cost = Purchase price per unit
Number of portions per unit
For example, consider an establishment serving eggs on the breakfast
menu, with two eggs as the standard portion. One can determine the standard
cost of the portion of the eggs by dividing the cost of a 30 - dozen case of eggs
— say, $ 41.40 — by the number of two - egg portions it contains (180) to find
the standard portion cost of $ 0.23.
Standard portion cost = 41.40 purchase price per case
180 std. portion per case
= $0.23
CALCULATING STANDARD PORTION COSTS
 There are several methods for calculating standard portion costs:
2. Recipe detail and cost card
For menu items produced from standard recipes, it is possible to
determine the standard cost of one portion by using a form known
as a recipe detail and cost card .
CALCULATING STANDARD PORTION COSTS
 There are several methods for calculating standard portion costs:
3. Butcher test
When meat, fish, and poultry are purchased as wholesale cuts, the
purchaser pays the same price for every pound of the item
purchased, even though, after butchering, the resulting parts may
have entirely different values. If, for example, a particular cut of
beef is approximately half fat and half usable meat, the two parts
clearly have different uses and different values, even though they
were purchased at the same price per pound because both were
part of one
wholesale cut. Among other purposes, the butcher test is designed
to establish a rational value for the primary part of the wholesale
piece.
Food and Beverage Cost Control
CALCULATING STANDARD PORTION COSTS
 There are several methods for calculating standard portion costs:
4. Cooking loss test
The primary purpose for the cooking loss test is the same as that
for the butcher test: determining standard portion cost. The cooking
loss test is used for those items that cannot be portioned until after
cooking is complete. With these items, one must take into account
the weight loss that occurs during cooking. Therefore, one cannot
determine the quantity remaining to be portioned until cooking is
completed and portion able weight can be determined. Cooking loss
varies with cooking time and temperature, and it must be taken into
account in determining standard portion costs.
Using the Yield Percentage
119
 Or yield factor is defined as the percent of a whole purchase unit of
meat, poultry or fish that is available for portioning after any required
in-house processing has been completed.
 Quantity = Number of portions X portion size (as a decimal) /Yield
percentage
Number of portions =

FOOD PRODUCTION CONTROL
II. QUANTITIES
DHM
FOOD AND BEVERAGE COST CONTROL
PROBLEMS
 Assume that control has been established over individual portions and will
shift our focus to the number of portions produced for each item on a menu
for a given day or meal. After all, if the cost of a portion of some item is
controlled at, say, $ 4.50 per serving, and the establishment produces 100
portions but sells only 40, there will be 60 portions unsold. These may or
may not be salable on another day. Even if they are salable, these portions
are likely to be of lower quality than when they were first produced. It is
also possible that they cannot be sold in their original form, but must be
converted into some other item that will be sold at a lower sales price.
Sometimes, if none of these possibilities are feasible, it may be necessary to
throw the food away. In any case, there is excessive cost — either the cost
of the food or the cost of additional labor that would not have been required
if the establishment had produced 40 portions rather than 100. Such
excessive costs can be reduced or eliminated by applying the four - step
control process to the problem of quantity production.
122
Food Production Control II: Quantities
This topic will look into the planning of how many is enough when producing. The
quantity of each production will also need to be control as to help in reducing
excessive cost though wastage if overproduction or customer dissatisfaction if it is
underproduction.
Factor need to be considered are:
1. Maintaining sales history
2. Forecasting portion sales
3. Determining production quantities
Maintaining Sales History
A sales history is a written record of the number of portions of
each menu item sold every time that item appears on the menu. It
is a summary of portion sales.
the best decisions on the nature of the sales history are based on
the need for information that can be used to improve operations.
Unless the information is useful in leading to better control over
costs, its maintenance cannot be justified.
the basic information is incorporated into the sales history, it is
necessary to understand the two methods used for recording
customers ’selections: manual and electronic.
Portion sales records
Regardless of whether the portion sales records are stored
manually or electronically, they are likely to be arranged in one of
three ways:
1. By operating period, such as one week or month, so that all
sales records for an entire operating period can be viewed together
on one page, card or screen.
2. By day of the week , so that all sales records for a given day
(e.g.Tuesday) for a period of several weeks can be compared.
3. By entrée item, so that the degree of popularity of a given
item can be seen over time.
Popularity Index
 Popularity index is defined as the ratio of portion sales for a given menu item to
total portion sales for all menu items
 The popularity index is calculated by dividing portion sales for a given item by the
total portion sales for all menu items and then multiplying by 100 in order to convert
to a percentage.The index may be calculated for any time period, even for a single
meal.When calculated for a single meal, the index is usually referred to as the sales
mix,
 Popularity index = portion sales X 100
Total portion sales for all menu items
188 X100
1937
 0.09706 and 0.09706 100 9.706%
Other Information in Sales Histories
Sales histories often include provisions for recording additional
relevant information — internal and external conditions that may
shed light on sales data. One of the most common of these
conditions is the weather. Most foodservice operators find that
weather conditions have a noticeable impact on sales volume.
Special events can decidedly influence sales and are often included
in sales histories.The occurrence of a national holiday on a
particular day or the presence of a particular convention group in a
hotel can affect sales considerably.
So can such varied conditions as faulty kitchen equipment, street
construction in front of the restaurant, or a major sale at a nearby
Forecasting Portion Sales
127
 Forecasting is a process by means of which managers use
data and intuition to predict what is likely to occur in the
future.
 It is a principal element in cost control as accurate
prediction will make purchasing and production more
accurate.
 Steps in forecasting are:
1. Gather sales volume for particular time (Sales History)
2. External factors affecting the sales
3. Predict anticipated volume
4. Anticipate the sales for each menu item (Popularity Index)
5. Acquire management’s consent.
Determining Production Quantities
128
 A production sheet is a form on which one lists the names and
quantities of all menu item that are to be prepared for a given date.
 It varies from one establishment to another.
 Usually submitted to the Chef as many days earlier as possible.
 Late adjustment can be made immediately before the forecasted date
or the night before. Usually minor adjustment.

130
The purpose of monitoring quantity production:
1. To determine whether the sales forecast has been reasonably accurate in predicting both the
total number of customers and their individual preferences for particular menu item
2. To judge how closely the chef has followed the production standards established on the
production sheet.

131
Void Sheet is to record all the sale that are not being done because of the reasons stated. The
return on each of the item must be authorized by the supervisor or the manager in charge.
Portion Inventory and Reconciliation
 This approach effectively requires that one follow a series of logical steps. First, each menu
item should be listed on the form before kitchen production begins. Next, an inventory is
taken of any portions left over from previous meals that may be used again. Reusing leftovers
in this way is common in some establishments, but unacceptable in others.
 If leftovers are to be used, the number of portions on hand is deducted from the quantity
scheduled for production, and only the difference is prepared.That number is written in the “
Portions Prepared ” column.

DHM
FOOD AND BEVERAGE COST CONTROL
Introduction
135
 The monthly accounting procedures provides information that
can be useful for assessing the various control procedures
established for the operation.
 To make these determinations, it is necessary to take a number
of steps aimed at measuring performance.
 The first step is the physical inventory
Valuing the Physical Inventory
136
 There are at least five possible ways of assigning values to
units of products in a physical inventory.
1. Actual Purchase Price Method
2. First-In First-Out Method (Latest Prices)
3. Weighted Average Purchase Price Method
4. Latest Purchase Price Method (Most Recent Price)
5. Last-In, First-Out Method (Earliest Prices)
Monthly Food Cost Determination
Opening Inventory
+ Purchases
=Total Available
- Closing Inventory
= Cost of Food
Once the cost of food is known, food cost percent can be
determined using the formula identified in the earlier
chapter.
137
Adjustment of Cost of Food Issued
138
 Transfer
 Intra-Unit (Cooking Liquor/Food to Bar-Direct)
 Inter-Unit
 Grease Sales (Sales of Item Out to other buyers especially
item such as fats or oil. Usually will be debited as Other
Income – Salvage and Waste Sales)
 Steward Sales (Sales to employees may be done if permitted)
 Gratis To Bars (Light food to customer as gives away such as
hors d’ oeuvres)
 Promotion Expenses (Entertainment Purposes)

Additional Information to get proper Food Cost
140
 To get the proper Food Cost we also need to deduct the cost of
employees’ meals from the cost of food consumed
 Cost of meals can be calculated in four ways
1. Cost of separate issues
2. Prescribed amount per meal per employee
3. Prescribed amount per period
4. Sales value multiplied by cost percent

FOOD AND BEVERAGE COST CONTROL
Daily Food Cost
144
 The major problem of monthly food cost alone in the length of
time between reports.
 It cannot reveal any problems promptly and corrective action
also cannot be taken promptly
 To avoid this delay and to make more timely figures available
on day-to-day operation basis, daily food cost calculation is
required.
 This will help the management to identified any situation
promptly and can act with the situation immediately without
needing to wait until the end of the month. This may be too
late already.
Determining Daily Food Cost
145
Cost of direct (from the receiving clerk’s daily report)
+ Cost of store (from requisition and meat tags, depending on the procedures
followed)
+ Adjustment that increase daily cost (transfers from bar to kitchen; transfers
from other units)
- Adjustments that decrease daily cost (transfer from the kitchen to the bar; food
to bar (directs); gratis to bar; Steward sales; grease sales; promotion expenses)
= Cost of food consumed

FOOD AND BEVERAGE COST CONTROL
MENU ENGINEERING
AND ANALYSIS
 A very useful technique for analyzing menu sales and
providing helpful information for evaluating every item on
the menu relative to its present contribution to bottom -
line dollars
 It provides a means for monitoring the effectiveness of
efforts to maximize gross revenue in a menu.
Food and Beverage Cost Control
Controlling Food Sales
 Sales control merely means revenue control, a collection of
activities designed to ensure that each order placed by a
customer result in appropriate revenue for the enterprise. It is
the most important element in any enterprise but it is also one
part of the sales control.
 There are three principles goals of sales control:
1. Optimizing number sales(to increase the number of sales
volume)
2. Maximizing profit Pricing
3. Controlling revenue.(Proper control of the revenue received)

2. Maximizing profit Pricing
3. Controlling revenue.(Proper control of the revenue received)
155
Optimizing Number of Sales
156
 The most productive efforts are made by those who understand
the determinants of customer selection of restaurants. The
following eight factors are the most important for most people:
1. Location
2. Menu item differentiation
3. Price acceptability
4. Lighting and decor
5. Portion sizes
6. Product quality
7. Service standards
8. Menu diversity
Maximizing Profit
157
 There are two principal means for maximizing profits:
1. Pricing products properly
• Cost
• Price Sensitivity
• Pricing Policies
1. Matching Competitors’ price
2. Calculating desired contribution margins to portion cost
percentage
3. Adding desired contribution margins to portion cost
Factors to consider
Maximizing Profit
158
2. Selling those products effectively.
 The menu
 Layout and design
 Variety
 Item arrangement and location
 Descriptive language
 Kitchen personnel and equipment
 Sales Techniques
 Up-selling
 Menu knowledge
 Costumer service
Controlling Revenue
159
 Establishing standards and standard procedures for revenue control
 Documenting Food Sales
1. Help servers remember the specifics of guests’ orders
2. Give itemized bills to guest
3. Maintain written records of portion sales to add to a sales history
4. Proven the accuracy of cashier works
5. Verify the accuracy of prices changed
6. Provide the record required for tax purposes
 Using Numbered Checks
(Padded / unpadded)
 Checking and Verifying Food Sales
 Recording Revenue
Menu Analysis
160
 Result definition
 Star is a menu item that produce both high contribution margin and high
volume. These are the item that foodservice operators prefers to sell
when they can
 Dog is a menu item that produces a comparatively low contribution
margin and accounts for relatively low volume. These are probably the
least desirable item to have on the menu.
 Plowhorse is a menu item that produces a low contribution margin but
accounts for relatively high volume. These items have broad appeal to
customer, but contribution comparatively little profit per unit sold.
 Puzzle is a menu item that produces a high contribution margin but
accounts for comparatively low sales volume.

FOOD AND BEVERAGE COST CONTROL
Beverage Production Control
• To ensure that all drinks are prepared accordingly to
management’s specifications
• To guard against excessive costs that can develop in the
production process
163
Establishing Standards and Standard procedures for
production
164
 Standard must be established for the:
Quantity of the ingredients used
Proportion of the ingredients used
Drink sizes
 To have some reasonable assurance that a drink will meet
expectations each time it is ordered.
 If drinks are served accordingly to the formula and in
standard portion, then the cost for each portion to sales
should be the same.
Establishing Quantity Standard and Standard Procedures
165
1. Devices for Measuring Standard Quantities
 Four measuring devices are commonly used by bartenders:
Shot Glasses (Plain and lined)
Jiggers (Double ended stainless steel Measuring device that
resembles the shot glass)
The pourer (Fitted on top of a bottle)
The automated Dispenser (predetermined measures of liquor)
 Free pour from own judgment or eyesight
Establishing Quantity Standard and Standard Procedures
166
2. Glassware
Establishing Quality Standards and Standard Procedures
167
 Standard Recipes
 Establishing Standard Portion Cost
 Straight Drinks (formula)
 Mixed Drinks and Cocktails (Detail Recipe)
Controlling Revenue
168
Possible control of problems
 Working with the cash drawer open
 Under-ringing sales
 Overcharging customer
 Undercharging customer
 Over pouring
 Under pouring
 Diluting bottle contents
 Bringing one’s own bottle into the bar
 Charging for drinks not served
 Drinking on the job

169
 The Cost Approach
Cost Percentage Methods
 Monthly Calculation
 Daily Cost Calculation
 Cost Calculation by Category
Standard Cost Method (Actual – Standard Cost)
 The Liquid Measure Approach
Ounce-Control Method (Quantity stock taking daily)
 The Sales Value Approach
Actual Sales Record (Recipe Detail Comparison)
Average Sales Value Method (Per-bottle value)
Standard Deviation Method (Statistical EDP)
 Inventory Turnover
Monitoring Production Performance and Taking Corrective Action
170
 A manager can personally observe bar operations on a regular basis
 A designated employee, such as a head bartender, can observe others
working at the bar and report unacceptable performance and problems
to management
 Individual unknown to the bartenders can be hired to patronize the bar,
observe the employees, not problems and report to management
 Closed-circuit television systems can be installed to permit observation
of bartenders and bar operations from some remote location.

Food and Beverage Cost Control

  • 1. CHAPTER 1 COST AND SALES CONCEPTS DHM FOOD AND BEVERAGE COST CONTROL
  • 2. INTRODUCTION 2 •Successful restaurant personnel, including chefs, restaurant managers, food and beverage controllers, dining room managers, and stewards have the ability to keep costs at predetermined levels. They understand that successful operations require that costs be carefully established and monitored so that profit will result. •Food, beverage, and labor costs generally represent between 60% and 70% of the total costs of a restaurant operation. If these costs are not carefully established and monitored, they can gradually increase until profit is eliminated and losses are sustained.
  • 3. Learning Objectives 3 1. Define the terms cost and sales . 2. Define and provide an example of the following types of costs: fixed, directly variable, semi variable, controllable, non controllable, unit, total, prime, historical, and planned. 3. Provide several examples illustrating monetary and nonmonetary sales concepts. 4. Describe the significance of cost - to - sales relationships and identify several cost - to - sales ratios important in food and beverage management. 5. Identify the formulas used to compute cost percent and sales price. 6. Describe factors that cause industry wide variations in cost percentages. 7. Explain the value of comparing current cost - to - sales ratios with those for previous periods.
  • 4. Cost Concepts 4 •Accountants define a cost as a reduction in the value of an asset for the purpose of securing benefit or gains. •In F&B Business cost is defined as the expense to a hotel or restaurant of goods or service when the goods are consumed or the service rendered. •Food and beverage are “Consumed” when they are used, wastefully or otherwise, and are no longer available for the purpose which they were acquired.(Units: weight, volume or total value) •The cost of labor is incurred when people are on duty, whether or not they are working and whether they are paid at the end of the shift or at some later date. (Hourly or weekly or monthly)
  • 5. Cost Concept 5 •Fixed Cost (FC) and Variable Cost (VC) are used to distinguished between those cost that have no direct relationship to business and those that do. •Fixed Cost are those that are normally unaffected by changes in sales volume. Such as = real estate taxes, insurance premiums, depreciation, repairs and maintenance, rent or occupancy cost, most utility cost, advertisement, professional services. The term fixed should never taken to mean static or unchanging but merely to indicate that any changes that may occur in such cost are related only indirectly or distantly to changes in business volume.
  • 6. Cost Concept 6 •Variable Cost are those that are clearly related to business volume. As business volume increase, variable cost will increase and vice versa. •Food & Beverage cost are considered directly variable cost. Direct Variable Cost are those that are directly linked to volume of business increase and decrease of volume correspondingly. •Payroll Cost includes salaries and wages and employee benefits and often referred as Labor Cost. Because labor cost consist of fixed and variable element it is known as semi-variable cost, meaning a portion should change in short-term and the other portion remains unchanged.
  • 7. Cost Concept 7 CONTROLLABLE AND NON-CONTROLLABLE COST •Controllable cost are those that can be change in the short term such as Direct Variable Cost, Wages, Advertising & Promotion, Utilities, Repairs & Maintenance and Administration and General Expenses. •Non-Controllable cost are those that cannot normally be changed in short-term such as fixed cost like Rent, Interest on a mortgage, Real estate taxes, License fee and Depreciation.
  • 8. Cost Concept 8 •Unit Cost may be food & beverage portion as in the cost of one item or hourly unit of work. In F&B business unit cost are commonly in average unit cost rather then actual unit cost. •Total Cost are the total of food & beverage portions served in one period such as a week or a month or total cost of labor for one period.
  • 9. Cost Concept 9 •Prime Cost is a term used in the Hotel Industry refer to the cost of materials and labor. (Food, Beverage and Payroll) •Historical and Planned Costs •Historical cost are all cost are historical - that is, that they can be found in business records, book of account, financial statements, invoices, employees’ time card and other similar records. It is used for establishing unit cost, determining menu prices and comparing present with past labor cost. •It will be used for planning and determining the future to develop planned costs - projections of what cost will be or should be for a future period. It is often called as Budgeting.
  • 10. Industry-wide Variations in Cost 10 Cost percentage vary considerably from one foodservice operation to other. This is due to many possible reasons. Basically there are two types of foodservice operation. • Those that operate at low profit margin and depends on relatively high business volume. • Those that operate at relatively high profit margin thus does not require high business volume.
  • 11. Sales Concept 11 Sales Defined In general, the term sales is defined as revenue resulting from the exchange for a products (Food & Beverage) and service (Waiter) for value ($$). The sales concept in F&B operation usually can be express as: monetary and non-monetary.
  • 12. Monetary Terms 12 •Total Sales is a term that refers to the total volume of expressed in dollar term for instant any given period , such as a week, a month or a year. By Category. Total dollar volume of sales by category are total food sales or total beverage sales. Or total steak sales or seafood sales. By Server. This is total dollar volume of sales for which a given server has been responsible in a given period. This is to help the management to make judgment on employees performance. By Seat. Usually for a year period. Total Dollar sales divided by the number of seats in the restaurant.
  • 13. Monetary Terms 13 •Sales Price refers to the amount charged each customer purchasing one unit of a particular item. It can be a single meal or entire meal. •Average Sale in business is determine by adding individual sales to determine a total and then dividing that total by the number of individual sales. Two types of commonly calculated averages are: average sale per customer and average sale per server. Per Customer is the result of dividing total dollar sales by the number of sales or customer. Per Server is total dollar sales for an individual server divided by number of customer served by that individual.
  • 14. Average Sale  This average is determined as follows: Average check = Total dollar sales ÷ Total number of covers Total sales of $3,902.30 and 140 covers. Thus, Average sale = $3,902.30 ÷ 140 = $27.87  Yasser, one of the servers, had 30 customers and total dollar sale of $565 on the Saturday night of February 13, average sale per server for Jim would be calculated as follows: Average sale = Total sales for Yasser ÷ No. of customers for Yasser = $565 ÷ 30 = $18.83
  • 15. Non-Monetary Terms 15 •Total Number Sold refers to the total number of menu item sold in a given time period. •Cover is the term used to describe one diner regardless of the quantity of good the person consumes. •Total Cover refer to the total number of customer served in a given period. Help to make judgment & comparisons •Average Covers is determined y dividing the total number of cover for a given period by some other number such as hour of operation, day of operation or numbers of server. 1. Cover per Hour = Total Covers / No. of Hours of Op. 2. Covers per Day = Total Covers / No. of Days of Op. 3. Covers per Server = Total Covers / No. of Servers
  • 16. Non-Monetary Terms 16 Seat Turnover or simply turnover refer to the number of seats occupied during a given period (or number of cover) divided by the number of seats available. 140 customers served during that one Saturday meal. The restaurant has 75 seats, so seat turnover would be calculated as follows: Seat turnover = Number of customers served ÷ Number of seats = 140 ÷ 75 = 1.87 turns
  • 17. Non-Monetary Terms Sales Mix is a term used to describe the relative quantity sold of any menu item compared to other items in the same category. Sales Mix For the Sugar & Spice Restaurant August 20xx Menu Item Portion Sales Sales Mix Strip steak 1,000 12.5% Ginger shrimp 1,200 15.0 Lamb chop 1,800 22.5 Vege buritto 2,400 30.0 Chicken chop 1,600 20.0 Totals 8,000 100.0%
  • 18. The Cost-to-Sales Ratio 18 Foodservice establishment calculate cost in dollars and compare those cost to sales in dollars. This enable them to discuss the relationship between cost and sales or the cost per dollar of sale. Cost ÷ Sales = Cost per dollar of sale decimal answer, and any decimal can be converted to a percentage if one multiplies it by 100 and adds a percent sign (%). Cost ÷ Sales x 100 = Cost% $ 312,090 ÷ $ 891,687 = .35 and .35 x 100 = 35.0 % Food cost ÷ Food sales x 100 =Food cost% Beverage cost ÷ Beverage sales x 100 = Beverage cost% Labor cost ÷ Total sales x 100 = Labor cost%
  • 19. The Cost-to-Sales Ratio 19 The formula also can be use to determine the Sales price if the cost% is known. Cost ÷ cost% = Sales(or Sales Price) If the given cost percentage were 30.0 percent and the food cost for the item were $3.60, the appropriate sales price would be $12.00, illustrated here 30.0 % ÷ 100 = 0.3 $ 3.60 ÷ 0.3 = $12.00
  • 20. The Cost-to-Sales Ratio 20 The formula also can be use to determine the cost if the spending power and cost% is known. Suppose this banquet manager is dealing with a group willing to spend $15.00 per person for a banquet, and the same given 30.0 percent cost percent is to apply. Calculation of the maximum permissible cost per person is facilitated by rearranging the formula once again: Sales x Cost % ( expressed as a decimal ) = Cost Sales X Cost % = Cost So the cost per person can be calculated as $4.50: 30.0 % ÷ 100 = 0.3 $ 15.00 X 0.3 = $ 4.50
  • 22. TUTORIAL 22 1. Given the following information, calculate cost percentages. Round your answers to the nearest tenth of a percent. a. Cost, $200.00; Sales, $500.00 b. Cost, $150.00; Sales, $500.00 c. Cost, $178.50; Sales, $700.00 d. Cost, $216.80; Sales, $800.00 2. Calculate cost, given the following figures for cost percent and sales: a.

  • 25. CHAPTER 2 THE CONTROL PROCESS DHM FOOD AND BEVERAGE COST CONTROL
  • 26. The Control Process 26 Introduction The control in the F&B industry really means controlling people action. These are the factors:- •Food does not disappear by itself, without help •Excess quantity of food and beverage into the plate and glass. •Employees’ wages calculation are not base on the wrong numbers of hours unless someone gives the wrong information. •Food are not consumed by pest unless made available by human •Customer seldom leave without paying unless make possible.
  • 27. Managing Income & Expenses 27 Food Service Management It is important that the foodservice manager must be a talented individual. These criteria are true: The person must be able to grab opportunities & profit oriented A unique sales person Good personality with the guest Hard working person and most important The person is the controller or regulator of the operation to achieved maximized profits and minimize costs.
  • 28. Managing Income & Expenses 28 INCOME Income can be managed in may ways thus to insure profit. Increasing income can be done by increasing the number of guest and the amount of money they spent. This goal can be achieved by suggestive selling, creative menu pricing and discount. Our main goal in this course is not to sale but controlling expenses. EXPENSES There are four major expense categories that must be controlled by management. They are… FOOD COST, BEVERAGE COST, LABOR COST & OTHER EXPENSES
  • 29. The Control Process 29 1.Definition of Control Control is a process used by managers to direct, regulate and restrain the actions of people so that the established goals of an enterprise may be achieved. 2.Cost Control Defined Cost Control defined as the process used by managers to regulate cost and guard against excessive costs. It is an ongoing process throughout the operation. Two principle of the principal causes of excessive cost are inefficiency and waste.
  • 30. The Control Process 30 3. Sales Control Sales Control is important to ensure that all sales results in appropriate income to the business. Therefore, it is important to require that each employees record each sales accurately. (Checks, duplicates, bills or etc.) 4. Responsibility For Control Responsibility is clearly falls onto the management, but the task on controlling differ due to the nature of the establishment. Small establishment the control responsibility usually taken by the management but for larger establishment it is delegated to the assistant manager or controller.
  • 31. The Control Process 31 5. Instituting Control Food & beverage establishment usually involves process of raw material purchased, received, stored and issued for the purpose of manufacturing products for sale and services. At each stage of operation, it is necessary to institute control in order to stop pilferage or problems. Each control must be suitable to each of the operation, depends on the nature of material and service requiring control and on the degree of difficulty inherent (fundamentals) in instituting the control.
  • 32. The Control Techniques 32 1. Establishing Standard •Standard are defined as rules or measures established for making comparisons and judgments. •Quality Standards are used to define the degree of excellence of raw materials, finished products and by extensions, work performed. •Quantity Standard are defined as measures of weight, count or volume used to make comparisons and judgment. •Standard Cost is defined as the cost of goods or services identified, approved and accepted by management in order to make judgment and comparisons of the effectiveness of the operation. Thus standard cost must be calculated as accurately as possible.
  • 33. The Control Techniques 33 2. Establishing Procedures Procedures are the method employed to prepare products or perform jobs. Standard Procedures are those that have be established as the correct methods, routines and techniques for day-to-day operations. Example: Production procedures must be standardized for several reasons. One of the most important of these is customer satisfaction. Any given item should be produced by the same method and with the same ingredients every time it is served. It should also be served in the same quantity each time, partly so that regular customers will be given the same quantity each time they order the item, and partly to maintain cost standards.
  • 34. The Control Techniques 3. Training Training is a process by which managers teach employees how work is to be done, given the standards and standards procedures established. Example; if management has established a standard 4 - ounce portion size for hamburgers, then all employees responsible for producing portions of hamburgers must be made aware that 4 ounces is the correct portion size.
  • 35. The Control Techniques 35 4. Setting Example Employees in an operation follow the examples set by the manager — the manager ’ s behavior, manner, responses to questions, and even a failure to speak or take action in some situations. The behavior of individuals in a group tends to be influenced by the actions, statements and attitudes of their leaders. Work Habits, attitudes, behavior, spirit of a manager are the evident. If the manager who has occasion to help employees plate food for the dining room serves incorrect portion sizes, employees will be more likely to do the same when the manager is not there. Similarly, if a manager is inclined to wrap parcels of food to take home for personal use, employees will be more likely to do so.
  • 36. The Control Techniques 36 5. Observing and Correcting Employee Actions One of a manager ’ s important tasks is to observe the actions of all employees continually as they go about their daily jobs, judging those actions in the light of the standards and standard procedures established for their work. If any employees are failing to follow the standards, it is a manager’s responsibility to correct their performance to the extent necessary at the appropriate time.
  • 37. The Control Techniques 37 6. Requiring Records and Reports Recording and reports is an important element in control as these information helps in decision making, judgment & comparisons of the operations. One such report is the statement of income. Example; it is important to recognize that managers need timely information to determine whether primary goals and sub goals are being met. If timely records and reports are not available, opportunities for taking corrective action may be lost.
  • 38. The Control Techniques 38 7. Discipline Employees Discipline is defined as action taken to give a warning, punish or telling off an employee for work performance or personal behavior incompatible with established standards It is seldom practice but only used as a deterrent or if corrective action failed. By selecting the right people for the various jobs — those with the experience, skill, and personal characteristics that match the job requirements the number of individuals requiring some level of discipline can be reduced to a bare minimum. However, every manager must face the fact that, at times, an individual staff member must be disciplined.
  • 39. 39 8. Preparing and Following Budgets Preparing and following budgets may be the most common technique for controlling business operations Budget is defined as a financial plan and may be describe as a realistic expression of management’s goals and objectives expressed in financial terms. (Cash flow budget, capital equipment budget and advertising budget.) Operation Budget is the most important budget for F&B manager. It is a forecast of sales activity and an estimate of cost that will be incurred in the process of generating those sales. The Control Techniques
  • 40. 40 PREPARING AN OPERATING BUDGET 1. An operating budget is normally prepared using historical information from previous budget and other financial records. 2. The second step is to calculated the percentage and analysis of the previous records. 3. Then making assumption or judgment base on all the influencing factors that might effect the business operation during the forecasted period, and computing into the new budget. Flexible budget normally prepared for levels of business volume above and below the expected level. (See Illustration) PREPARING AN OPERATING BUDGET

Using this information, prepare an operating budget for the Market Restaurant for the coming year, following the illustration provided in this chapter. Food sales: $820,000 Beverage sales: $290,000 Cost of food: 36 percent of food sales Cost of beverages: 24 percent of beverage sales Salaries and wages: $102,000 Employee benefit: 25 percent of total salaries and wages Other controllable expenses: $95,000 Depreciation: $65,500 Interest: $55,000 Occupancy costs: $56,000
  • 46. Cost/Volume/Profit Relationship 46 Introduction The Key to understand cost/volume/profit relationship lies in understanding that fixed costs exist in an operation regardless of sale volume and that it is necessary to generate sufficient total volume to cover both fixed and variable costs as well as desired profit. It should be apparent that relationship exist between and among sales, cost of sales, cost of labor, cost of overhead and profit. In fact these relationship can be expressed as follows: Sales = Cost of sales + Cost of labor + cost of overhead + profit.
  • 47. Cost/Volume/Profit Relationship 47 The relationship formula Because cost of sale is variable, cost of labor includes fixed and variable elements and cost of overhead is fixed, one should restate this equation as follows: S = VC + FC + P In fact this is the basic equation of cost/volume/profit analysis S = Sales VC = Variable Cost FC = Fixed Cost P = Profit.
  • 48. Cost/Volume/Profit Relationship 48 Three guideline of references to remember 1. Within the normal range of business operations, there is a relationship between variable costs and sales that remains relatively constant. That relationship is a ratio that is normally expressed either as a percentage or as a decimal point. 2. By Contrast, fixed costs tend to remain constant in dollar terms, regardless of changes in dollar sales volume. Consequently, whether expressed as a percentage or as decimal, the relationship between fixed costs and sales changes as sales volume increase or decrease. 3. Once acceptable levels are determined for costs, they must be controlled if the operation is to be profitable.

  • 50. S=VC+FC+P 50 Step (1). Determine total variable cost Total variable cost consists of food cost, beverage cost, and the variable portion of labor cost. We will assume that labor cost is $81259.00 40% variable and 60% fixed. Food Cost $96,678.00 Beverage Cost 12,188.00 Variable labor Cost (40%) 32,503.60 Total Variable Cost 141,369.60
  • 51. S=VC+FC+P 51 Step (2) Determine total fixed cost Fixed labor Cost (60%) $48,755.40 Other Controllable Exp. 46,750.00 Occupancy Cost 29,500.00 Interest 5,000.00 Depreciation 16,250.00 Total Fixed Cost 146,255.40 Profit desired is $37,375.00 The basic cost/volume/profit equation at the level of sales is: S=VC(141,369.60)+FC(146,255.40)+P(37,375) S=$325,000.00
  • 52. Variable Rate & Contribution Rate 52 Variable Rate is the ratio of variable cost to dollar sales. It is obviously determined by dividing variable cost by dollar sales and is expresses in decimal form. Variable Rate (VR) = Variable Cost / Sales or VR = VC / S VR= VC (141,375) / S (325,000) VR=.435 43.5 percent of dollar sales is needed to cover the variable costs, or that $0.435 of each dollar of sales is required for that purpose.
  • 53. 53 If 43.5% of dollar sales is needed to cover VC, then the remainder 56.5% is available for other purpose: 1. Meeting Fixed Costs 2. Providing Profit Thus, $0.565 of each dollar of sales is available to contribute to covering fixed costs and providing profit. This percentage (or ratio, or rate) is known as the Contributing rate or CR. # The contributing rate is determined by subtracting the variable rate from 1. CR = 1 - VR = 1 - .435 = .565 Variable Rate & Contribution Rate
  • 54. Breakeven Point 54 No business can be termed profitable until all of the fixed cost have been met. • if sales cannot cover both variable cost & fixed cost it is operating at a loss • if sales can cover both variable cost & fixed cost exactly but insufficient to provide any profit. (I.e, profit = 0) the business is said to be operating at the breakeven point (BE) Changing the Breakeven Point Two ways to change Breakeven point is by 1. Increase menu price 2. Reduce Variable cost
  • 55. Calculate CVP 55 Gather all the information that have been calculated Sales = 325,000.00 VC = 141,375.00 FC = 146,250.00 Profit = 37,375.00 VR = .435 CR = .565 Sales = or This formula can be used to determine the level of dollar sales required to earn any profit that one might choose to put into the equation. Fixed Cost + Profit Contribution Rate S= FC + P CR 146,250 + 37,375 .565 Sales = 325,000 Sales =
  • 56. Calculate Breakeven Point 56 By using the same formula, we can actually can determine the Breakeven point, a which profit would be equal to zero dollar Sales = $146,250 + 0 .565 S = FC + P CR Sales = $258,849.55 rounded as = $258,850.00 At this level VC is 43.5% of sales = 112,599.75 or 112,600.00 (S)$258,850 = (VC)$112,600 + (FC)$146,250 +(P)$0.00
  • 57. Breakeven Analysis 57 The Graduate Restaurant achieved sales level of $325,000, which was $66,150 beyond BE. At this level, beyond BE, there are no more fixed cost to be cover for each dollar of sales but have variable cost. Variable Cost can be determined by multiplying S (Sales) by VR (Variable Rate) = .435 VC = S X VR (VC) $28,775 = (S) $66,150 X (VR) .435 If $28,775 in VC is subtracted from sales of $66,150 the result $37,375 is equal to profit (P). It consist of $0.565 of each dollar sales beyond BE. (P) $37,375 = (S) $66,160 x (CR) .565
  • 58. Contribution Margin 58 Each dollar of sales, may also be divided in two portions. 1. That which must be used to cover variable cost associated with the item sold. 2. That which remains to cover fixed costs and to provide profit. The dollar amount remaining after VC have been subtracted from the sales dollar is defined as the Contribution Margin (CM). Contribution Margin must go to cover all fixed and variable cost until breakeven is reached, after breakeven is reached, contribution margin becomes profit. Sales - Variable Cost = Contribution Margin
  • 59. Cost/Volume/Profit Analysis 59 Certain assumptions that need to be understand in C.V.P analysis are: 1. Cost is a particular establishment can be classified as fixed and variable with reasonable accuracy. 2. Variable cost are directly variable 3. Fixed cost are relatively stable and will remain so within the relevant range of business operations 4. Sales prices will remain constant for the period covered by the analysis 5. The sales mix in the restaurant will also remain relatively constant for the period.
  • 60. CVP Analysis 60 The questions that we want to answer through CVP analysis are likely to be: •What profit will be established earn at a given sales level? •What level of sale will be required to earn in given profit? •How many sales (or cover) will be required in order to reach the breakeven point? The question that con be sort into the different categories: 1. Those requiring answer stated in term of money 2. Those requiring answer stated in term of number of sales.
  • 61. Dollar Formulas & Calculation 61 Formula # 1 Formula to determining the dollar sales level required to earn any planned or targeted profit, given a dollar total of fixed cost and an expected variable rate (VR) This formula can also be use to determine BE by P = 0 Formula # 2 CR = FC + P/S Formula # 3 P = (S X CR) – FC Formula # 4 FC = (S X CR) – P S = FC + P 1 -VR (or CR)
  • 62.  the total of the contribution margins for all sales is used to cover fixed costs and provide a profit. If one knows the average contribution margin per sale and the dollar figure for fixed costs, it is then possible to calculate the number of sales, or customers, needed to cover fixed costs and the desired profit.  For example, if the financial records of a small restaurant indicated  sales of $48,000 and variable costs of $18,000 in a period when 3,000 customers were served, then: 48,000 sales ÷ 3,000 customers = $ 16.00 average sales 18,000 variable costs ÷ 3,000 customers = $ 6.00 average variable costs NUMBER OF CUSTOMER TO BREAK EVEN
  • 63.  determine average contribution margin Average S $16.00 - Average VC 6.00 = Average CM $10.00  BEP in Customers = FC ÷ Average CM  to determine the number of customers required to achieve a given profit, one simply adds profit to fixed cost and divides by average contribution margin.  Number of Customers = FC + Profit ÷ Average CM  Assume that fixed cost for the period was $30,000 Number of Customers = $30,000 ÷ $10 3,000 customers

  • 69. Food Purchasing Control 69 Responsibility for Purchasing The responsibility of purchasing can be delegate to any one in the foodservice operation depending on organizational structure and management policies. Control Process and Purchasing Four steps in the control process apply here: 1. Requiring that standards and standard procedures be established 2. That employees be trained to follow those standards and standard procedures 3.That employee out-put be monitored and compared to established standards 4. Remedial action be taken as needed
  • 70. Food Purchasing Control 70 Perishable and Non-perishable Perishable are those items, typically fresh foods, that have a comparatively short useful life after they have been received. Should be purchased for immediate use only as they deteriorate quickly. Non-perishable are those food items that have a longer shelf life. Often referred to as groceries or staple. They may be stored in the containers in which they are received, stored on shelf at room temperature for weeks or months. They do not deteriorate quickly.
  • 71. Developing Standards & Standard Procedures 71 Establishing control over purchasing ensure a continuing supply of sufficient quantities of the necessary foods, with each of quality appropriate to its intended use and purchase at the most favorable price. Standard must be develop for: 1. The quality of food purchased 2. The quantity of food purchased 3. The price at which food is purchased
  • 72. Establishing Quality Standards 72 •It is important first to determine which perishable & non-perishable food is required in order to produce products of consistent quality. •Thus it is important to draw up the list of all food items to be purchased, including those specific and distinctive characteristic that best describe the desired quality of each in written description also known as standard purchase specifications. •It is usually base on federal grading or common market grading.
  • 73. Establishing Quality Standards 73 Through Standard Purchasing Specification : 1. To determine exact requirement in advance for any products 2. To purchased according to specification to prepare several different items on the menu. 3. They eliminate misunderstanding 4. To have standard competitive bidding 5. They eliminate for detail verbal description 6. To facilitate checking food as it is received.
  • 74. Establishing Quantity Standard 74 •Quantity standard for purchasing are subjected to continual review and revision, often on a daily basis. •Perishable Item .The correct amount must be purchased to avoid wastage. •A basic requirement of the purchasing routine is to take daily inventory of perishable. •The routine requires that determinations be made of anticipate total needs for each item, base on future menus and often on experience as well.
  • 75. Establishing Quantity Standard 75 Non-perishable items does not present the problem of rapid deterioration, the do represent considerable amount of money invested in material in storage. The goal here is to avoid excessive quantities on hand. Through proper planning. The ways to maintain inventories of non perishables at appropriate levels, most are variations on two basic methods: 1. Periodic order method 2. Perpetual inventory method
  • 76. Periodic order method  A method for ordering food or beverages based on fixed order dates and variable order quantities. The calculation of the amount of each item to order is comparatively simple: Amount required for the upcoming period -Amount presently on hand + Amount wanted on hand at the end of the period to last until the next delivery =Amount to order
  • 77. Periodic order method orders for non perishables are placed every two weeks, one of the items ordered is crushed tomatoes, purchased in cans, packed 6 cans to a case. The item is used at the rate of 7 cans per week, and delivery normally takes five days from the date an order is placed. If the steward in this establishment found 9 cans on the shelf, anticipated a use of 14 cans during the upcoming period of approximately two weeks, and wanted 10 cans on hand at the end of that period, the calculation would be: 14 cans required - 9 cans on hand +10 cans to be left at the end of the period (desired ending inventory) = 15 cans to be ordered on this date
  • 78.  Both delivery time and daily usage for the period must be used to determine the DEI. Furthermore, it is advisable to include some additional quantity to serve as a safety factor, just in case the normal delivery is delayed or business volume is higher than expected in the coming period. For the example given, the calculations for DEI would be as follows:  Daily usage X Number of days in delivery period = Normal usage  Normal usage + Safety factor (50%) =DEI  14 cans per week ÷ 7 days = 2 cans per day  2 cans per day X 5 days in delivery period = 10 cans normal usage  10 cans normal usage + 50% safety factor =15 cans DEI  This is known as the Reorder Point in the Perpetual Order Method
  • 79. Establishing Quantity Standard 79 Perpetual Inventory Method 1. To ensure that quantity purchase are sufficient not excessive 2. To provide effective control on stored item for the future. The reorder point is quite simply the number of units to which the supply on hand should decrease before additional orders are placed. The Par Stock means simply the maximum quantity of a given item that should be on hand. This helps to 1. Storage space 2. Limits on total value of inventory 3. Desired frequency of ordering 4. Usage 5. Purveyors’ minimum order requirements
  • 80. Establishing Quantity Standard  Reorder point is calculated in the following manner. If normal usage is 14 cans per week and it takes five days from date of order to get delivery, then the basic number of cans needed is 10. However, because delivery may be delayed, because usage may increase for unforeseen reasons, or because both of those possibilities may occur at once, it is advisable to increase that amount somewhat.  The amount of the increase is a matter for management to decide. For our purposes, we will use 50 percent for all calculations. If that were so in this case, the reorder point would be set at 15 cans. Under the periodic method, the DEI would similarly be calculated as 15 cans. Par stock 20 -Reorder point 15 =Subtotal 5 +Normal usage until delivery 10 =Reorder quantity 15 80
  • 81. Establishing standard for Price 81 The availability of sources of supply varies considerably from one location to another. It depends on ownership policy, availability of supplies and general market condition, supplies can be choose from: •Wholesalers •Local producers •Manufactures •Packers •Local farms •Retailers •Cooperative association Perishable because prices for perishable often fluctuate daily it is necessary to find the price from different supplier through telephones. Non-Perishable normally with fewer suppliers with lowest price and consistent quality, small quantity & delivery wise.
  • 82. Centralized Purchasing 82 This is usually used in chain operations and occasionally established by small groups of independent operator with similar needs/ Advantage. •Purchased at lowest price because of volume •Desired quality as agent has greater choice •Obtain exact specification •Larger inventory ensuring reliable supply •Dishonest greatly reduced. Disadvantage •Little freedom for its particular needs •No advantage on local specials at reduce price •Limiting changes of menu.
  • 83. Food Receiving Control 83 INTRODUCTION The primary objective of receiving control is to verify that quantities, qualities and price of food delivered conform to orders placed. The person that usually responsible for this job is given the job title as “receiving clerk’. Establishing standard for receiving Established standards to govern the receiving process are: • The quantity delivered should be the same as the quantity listed on order forms and also should be identical as the quantity listed on the invoice or delivery bill. •The quality of item delivered should conform to the establishment’s standard purchase specification for that item •The prices on the invoice should be the same as those stated on the order form

Food is divided into at least two categories: •Item Purchase for immediate use – direct (extremely perishable nature that are purchased more or less daily basis for immediate use) – and will become the cost immediately. •Item Purchase to be kept in inventory – store (Meat, cans, bottles and boxed) – and will become the cost when the item is issued for production. The Receiving Clerk’s Daily Report is prepared by receiving clerk, who merely copies data from each invoice to appropriate columns on the reported and then enters the total for each invoice into one of the three columns under the general heading “Purchase Journal Distribution” – Food Direct, Food Stores or Sundries.

  • 92. CHAPTER 5 FOOD STORING & ISSUING CONTROL DHM FOOD AND BEVERAGE COST CONTROL
  • 93. Food Storing & Issuing Control 93 STORING CONTROL: ESTABLISHING STANDARDS AND STANDARD PROCEDURES FOR STORING In general, the standard established for storing food should address five principal concerns: 1. Condition of facilities and equipment 2. Arrangement of Food 3. Security of Storage areas 4. Location of Storage Facilities 5. Dating and pricing of stored food
  • 94. Factor 1. Condition of facilities and equipment 94 The factor that involves in maintaining proper internal conditions include:  Temperature (Key factors in storing food especially for perishable item)  Food life can be maximized when food is stored at the correct temperature and at the proper level of humidity. Fresh meats: 34 – 36 ° F (1-2 °C) Fresh produce: 34 – 36 ° F (1-2 °C) Fresh dairy products: 34 – 36 ° F (1-2 °C) Fresh fish: 30 – 34 ° F (-1 to 1°C) Frozen foods: 10 – 0 ° F (-23 to -18°C)
  • 95.  Storage Container (Appropriate container especially for staple food, fresh food and cooked or processed food)  Shelving (Shelving should be slatted to permit maximum air circulation for perishable material and solid steel shelving for non-perishable, and raised a few inches above the floor level)  Cleanliness (Absolute cleanliness) Factor 1. Condition of facilities and equipment
  • 96. Factor 2: Arrangement of Foods 96  Factors involved in maintaining appropriate internal arrangement of food include: 1. Keeping the Most-Used item readily available. (Kept most used item closest to the entrance tend to reduce the time required to move needed foods from storage to production and thus tends to reduce labor costs.) 2. Fixing definite location (Each particular item should always be found in the same location, and attention should be given to ensuring that new deliveries of the item are stored in the same location.) 3. Rotation of Stock (FIFO system) (storing new deliveries of an item behind the quantities already on hand, thus ensuring that older items will be used first. This reduces the possibilities for spoilage.)
  • 97. Factor 3: Location of Storage Facilities 97  the storage facilities for both perishable and nonperishable foods should be located between receiving areas and preparation areas, preferably close to both. A properly located storage facility will have four effects: 1. Speeding the storing and issuing of food 2. Maximizing security 3. Reducing labor requirements 4. Minimizing infestation of rodents and other unwanted creatures
  • 98. Factor 4: Security 98  Food should never be stored in a manner that permits pilferage. That is another reason for moving foods from the receiving area to storage as quickly as possible.  Employees should not be permitted to remove items at will. Typically, a storeroom is kept open at specified times for specified periods well known to the staff and is otherwise closed to enable the storeroom clerk to attend to other duties.  When the storeroom is closed, it should be locked, and the single key should be in the storeroom clerk ’s possession. In such cases, one additional emergency backup key is usually kept by the manager or in the office safe.
  • 99. Factor 5: Dating and Pricing 99  It is desirable to date items as they are put away on shelves, so that the storeroom clerk can be certain of the age of all items and make provisions for their use before they can spoil.  all items should be priced as goods are put away, with the cost of each package clearly marked on the package. Following this procedure will greatly simplify issuing, because the storeroom clerk will be able to price requisitions with little difficulty.
  • 100. Food Storing & Issuing Control 100 ISSUING CONTROL: ESTABLISHING STANDARDS AND STANDARD PROCEDURES FOR ISSUING There are two elements in the issuing process: (1) The physical movement of foods from storage facilities to food preparation areas Physical Movement of Food from storage facilities is the movement of food from the storage facilities to the preparation area. Practices for doing this varies from one establishment to other establishment due to the management policies and procedures and priority
  • 101. Issuing Control: Establishing Standard and Standard Procedure for Issuing 101 (2) The record keeping associated with determining the cost of the food issued.

Figures in “FOOD DIRECT” column in Receiving Clerk’s Daily Report will be calculated directly into the particular day food cost.
  • 102. Issuing Control: Establishing Standard and Standard Procedure for Issuing 102 (2) The record keeping associated with determining the cost of the food issued. STORES The food category known as stores was previously described as consisting of staples. When purchased, these foods are considered part of inventory until issued for use and are not included in cost figures until they are issued. Therefore, it follows that records of issues must be kept in order to determine the cost of stores. For control purposes, a system must be established to ensure that no stores are issued unless kitchen personnel submit lists of the items and quantities needed.
  • 103. Issuing Control: Establishing Standard and Standard Procedure for Issuing 103 (2) The record keeping associated with determining the cost of the food issued. The Requisition is a form filled in by a member of the kitchen staff. It lists the items and quantities of stores that the kitchen staff needs for the current day ’ s production. Each requisition should be reviewed by the chef, who should check to see that all required items are listed and that the quantity listed for each is accurate. If the list of items and quantities is correct, the chef signs and thus approves the requisition.

  • 105. Food & Beverage Transfer 105  F&B Transfer means the transfer of item intended for a section to another section that requires it.  Intra-unit Transfer are food and beverage transfers between departments of a food and beverage operation. They include transfers of food and liquor between the kitchen and bar, and between kitchen and kitchen in those larger operations that have multiple feeding facilities. Between Bar and Kitchen Many kitchens use beverage items such as wine, cordials, brandy, and even ale to produce sauces, parfaits, certain baked items, and rarebits. Occasionally, these beverages are purchased by the food department for use in the kitchen, kept in a storeroom until needed, and then issued on requisitions directly to the kitchen
  • 106. Food & Beverage Transfer 106  Inter-unit Transfer are transfers of food and beverage between units in a chain. The two examples that follow illustrate inter unit transfers and the effect of such transfers on food costs. In some instances, small chains produce some items (e.g., baked goods) in only one unit and then distribute those items to other units in the chain. If the ingredients for the baked goods come from that particular unit ’ s regular supplies, then some record must be made of the cost of the ingredients used.
  • 107. CHAPTER 7 FOOD PRODUCTION CONTROL I. PORTIONS DHM FOOD AND BEVERAGE COST CONTROL
  • 108. Food Production Control I. Portions  The standards and standard procedures for production control are designed to ensure that all portions of any given item conform to management ’ s plans for that item and that, as far as possible, each portion of any given item is identical to all other portions of the same item.  Portion for any given menu should be identical in 4 respect. 1. Ingredients 2. Proportions of ingredients 3. Production methods 4. Quantity  To achieved the 4 respected areas we need to have 1. Standard Portion Size 2. Standard Recipe 3. Standard Portion Cost
  • 109. Standard Portion Size 109  One of the most important standards that any foodservice operation must establish is the standard portion size , defined as the quantity of any item that is to be served each time that item is ordered. In effect, the standard portion size for any item is the fixed quantity of a given menu item that management intends to give each customer in return for the fixed selling price identified in the menu. It is possible and desirable for management to establish these fixed quantities in very clear terms. Every item on a menu can be quantified in one of three ways: by weight, by volume, or by count.  Every item on a menu can be quantified in one of the three way:  By Weight Can be expresses in ounce or grams used to measure portion sizes for a number of menu items.  By Volume Is used as the measure for portion of many menu items usually that of liquid in nature, Milk, soup, juices of coffees  By Count Used to identify portion size, such as sausage, eggs and shrimps
  • 110. Standard Portion Size 110  Many devices are available to help foodservice operators standardize portion sizes. Among the more common are the aforementioned scoops and slotted spoons, as well as ladles, portion scales, and measuring cups. Even the number scale or dial on a slicing machine, designed to regulate the thickness of slices, can aid in standardizing portion size: A manager may stipulate a particular number of slices of an item on a sandwich and then direct that the item be sliced with the dial at a particular setting  Advantages for practicing Standard Portion Size  It helps reduce customer discontent as the customer cannot compare his or her portion unfavorably with that of other customer and feel dissatisfied or cheated.  It help to eliminate animosity of miscommunication between the kitchen staff and the server over the portion size that lead to delay in the serving of food.  It help to eliminate excessive costs of over portioned menu.  Price on the menu is usually fixed, thus it will also reflect the portion size of the menu. If the portion size is constantly change then it will dissatisfied the customer and server.
  • 111. Standard Recipe 111  Another important production standard is the recipe. A recipe is a list of the ingredients and the quantities of those ingredients needed to produce a particular item, along with a procedure or method to follow. A standard recipe is the recipe that has been designated the correct one to use in a given establishment.  Standard recipes help to ensure that the quality of any item will be the same each time the item is produced. They also help to establish consistency of taste, appearance, and customer acceptance.  the same ingredients are used in the correct proportions and the same procedure is followed, the results should be nearly identical each time the standard recipe is used, even if different people are doing the work. In addition, returning customers will be more likely to receive items of identical quality.  Standard recipes are also very important to food control. Without standard recipes, costs cannot be controlled effectively. If a menu item is produced by different methods, with different ingredients, and in different proportions each time it is made, costs will be different each time any given quantity is produced
  • 113. Standard Portion Cost 113  A standard portion cost can be calculated for every item on every menu, provided that the ingredients, proportions, production methods, and portion sizes have been standardized as previously discussed. In general, calculating standard portion cost merely requires that one determine the cost of each ingredient used to produce a quantity of a given menu item, add the costs of the individual ingredients to arrive at a total, and then divide the total by the number of portions produced.  Standard portion cost is defined as the dollar amount that a standard portion should cost, given the standards and standard procedures for its production. The standard portion cost for a given menu item can be viewed as a budget for the production of one portion of that item. There are several reasons for determining standard portion costs. The most obvious is that one should have a reasonably clear idea of the cost of a menu item before establishing a menu sales price for that item
  • 114. CALCULATING STANDARD PORTION COSTS  There are several methods for calculating standard portion costs: 1. Formula For many (perhaps even for a majority) of the menu items prepared in foodservice establishments, determining standard portion cost can be very simple. For a large number of items, one may determine portion cost by means of this formula: Standard portion cost = Purchase price per unit Number of portions per unit For example, consider an establishment serving eggs on the breakfast menu, with two eggs as the standard portion. One can determine the standard cost of the portion of the eggs by dividing the cost of a 30 - dozen case of eggs — say, $ 41.40 — by the number of two - egg portions it contains (180) to find the standard portion cost of $ 0.23. Standard portion cost = 41.40 purchase price per case 180 std. portion per case = $0.23
  • 115. CALCULATING STANDARD PORTION COSTS  There are several methods for calculating standard portion costs: 2. Recipe detail and cost card For menu items produced from standard recipes, it is possible to determine the standard cost of one portion by using a form known as a recipe detail and cost card .
  • 116. CALCULATING STANDARD PORTION COSTS  There are several methods for calculating standard portion costs: 3. Butcher test When meat, fish, and poultry are purchased as wholesale cuts, the purchaser pays the same price for every pound of the item purchased, even though, after butchering, the resulting parts may have entirely different values. If, for example, a particular cut of beef is approximately half fat and half usable meat, the two parts clearly have different uses and different values, even though they were purchased at the same price per pound because both were part of one wholesale cut. Among other purposes, the butcher test is designed to establish a rational value for the primary part of the wholesale piece.
  • 118. CALCULATING STANDARD PORTION COSTS  There are several methods for calculating standard portion costs: 4. Cooking loss test The primary purpose for the cooking loss test is the same as that for the butcher test: determining standard portion cost. The cooking loss test is used for those items that cannot be portioned until after cooking is complete. With these items, one must take into account the weight loss that occurs during cooking. Therefore, one cannot determine the quantity remaining to be portioned until cooking is completed and portion able weight can be determined. Cooking loss varies with cooking time and temperature, and it must be taken into account in determining standard portion costs.
  • 119. Using the Yield Percentage 119  Or yield factor is defined as the percent of a whole purchase unit of meat, poultry or fish that is available for portioning after any required in-house processing has been completed.  Quantity = Number of portions X portion size (as a decimal) /Yield percentage Number of portions = Portion size = Yield percentage = Quantity xYield percentage Portion size Quantity xYield percentage Number of portions Number of portions x Portion size Quantity
  • 120. CHAPTER 7 FOOD PRODUCTION CONTROL II. QUANTITIES DHM FOOD AND BEVERAGE COST CONTROL
  • 121. PROBLEMS  Assume that control has been established over individual portions and will shift our focus to the number of portions produced for each item on a menu for a given day or meal. After all, if the cost of a portion of some item is controlled at, say, $ 4.50 per serving, and the establishment produces 100 portions but sells only 40, there will be 60 portions unsold. These may or may not be salable on another day. Even if they are salable, these portions are likely to be of lower quality than when they were first produced. It is also possible that they cannot be sold in their original form, but must be converted into some other item that will be sold at a lower sales price. Sometimes, if none of these possibilities are feasible, it may be necessary to throw the food away. In any case, there is excessive cost — either the cost of the food or the cost of additional labor that would not have been required if the establishment had produced 40 portions rather than 100. Such excessive costs can be reduced or eliminated by applying the four - step control process to the problem of quantity production.
  • 122. 122 Food Production Control II: Quantities This topic will look into the planning of how many is enough when producing. The quantity of each production will also need to be control as to help in reducing excessive cost though wastage if overproduction or customer dissatisfaction if it is underproduction. Factor need to be considered are: 1. Maintaining sales history 2. Forecasting portion sales 3. Determining production quantities
  • 123. Maintaining Sales History A sales history is a written record of the number of portions of each menu item sold every time that item appears on the menu. It is a summary of portion sales. the best decisions on the nature of the sales history are based on the need for information that can be used to improve operations. Unless the information is useful in leading to better control over costs, its maintenance cannot be justified. the basic information is incorporated into the sales history, it is necessary to understand the two methods used for recording customers ’selections: manual and electronic.
  • 124. Portion sales records Regardless of whether the portion sales records are stored manually or electronically, they are likely to be arranged in one of three ways: 1. By operating period, such as one week or month, so that all sales records for an entire operating period can be viewed together on one page, card or screen. 2. By day of the week , so that all sales records for a given day (e.g.Tuesday) for a period of several weeks can be compared. 3. By entrée item, so that the degree of popularity of a given item can be seen over time.
  • 125. Popularity Index  Popularity index is defined as the ratio of portion sales for a given menu item to total portion sales for all menu items  The popularity index is calculated by dividing portion sales for a given item by the total portion sales for all menu items and then multiplying by 100 in order to convert to a percentage.The index may be calculated for any time period, even for a single meal.When calculated for a single meal, the index is usually referred to as the sales mix,  Popularity index = portion sales X 100 Total portion sales for all menu items 188 X100 1937  0.09706 and 0.09706 100 9.706%
  • 126. Other Information in Sales Histories Sales histories often include provisions for recording additional relevant information — internal and external conditions that may shed light on sales data. One of the most common of these conditions is the weather. Most foodservice operators find that weather conditions have a noticeable impact on sales volume. Special events can decidedly influence sales and are often included in sales histories.The occurrence of a national holiday on a particular day or the presence of a particular convention group in a hotel can affect sales considerably. So can such varied conditions as faulty kitchen equipment, street construction in front of the restaurant, or a major sale at a nearby
  • 127. Forecasting Portion Sales 127  Forecasting is a process by means of which managers use data and intuition to predict what is likely to occur in the future.  It is a principal element in cost control as accurate prediction will make purchasing and production more accurate.  Steps in forecasting are: 1. Gather sales volume for particular time (Sales History) 2. External factors affecting the sales 3. Predict anticipated volume 4. Anticipate the sales for each menu item (Popularity Index) 5. Acquire management’s consent.
  • 128. Determining Production Quantities 128  A production sheet is a form on which one lists the names and quantities of all menu item that are to be prepared for a given date.  It varies from one establishment to another.  Usually submitted to the Chef as many days earlier as possible.  Late adjustment can be made immediately before the forecasted date or the night before. Usually minor adjustment.

  • 132. Portion Inventory and Reconciliation  This approach effectively requires that one follow a series of logical steps. First, each menu item should be listed on the form before kitchen production begins. Next, an inventory is taken of any portions left over from previous meals that may be used again. Reusing leftovers in this way is common in some establishments, but unacceptable in others.  If leftovers are to be used, the number of portions on hand is deducted from the quantity scheduled for production, and only the difference is prepared.That number is written in the “ Portions Prepared ” column. 132

  • 135. Introduction 135  The monthly accounting procedures provides information that can be useful for assessing the various control procedures established for the operation.  To make these determinations, it is necessary to take a number of steps aimed at measuring performance.  The first step is the physical inventory
  • 136. Valuing the Physical Inventory 136  There are at least five possible ways of assigning values to units of products in a physical inventory. 1. Actual Purchase Price Method 2. First-In First-Out Method (Latest Prices) 3. Weighted Average Purchase Price Method 4. Latest Purchase Price Method (Most Recent Price) 5. Last-In, First-Out Method (Earliest Prices)
