• Restaurant Financing and Business
  The two most costly expenses of any restaurant operation are food/beverage and labor, yet many restaurateurs choose not to conduct regular food and beverage inventories. "We don't have time for all of that..." or "What do I need to do that for? I know what I am paying." One restaurant had stacked cases and cases of bottled beer which were over four years old. While beer does vary widely and some varieties continues to age, beer should not be exposed to heat or light and most brews should be drunk as soon as possible. So the beer that was "such a deal" ended up being poured down the drain. The same applies to a lot of perishable items such as baking ingredients -- all of which have a determined shelf life. We have all seen or experienced situations where a Chef or Owner has had to scramble before a party with purveyors to nail down an order for lots of food at the last minute. So if you don't conduct regular F&B inventories, you may soon realize that you're out of business with upset guests before you even get started. Inventory reports not only evaluate both how well your kitchen crew and service staff are controlling portions and what your total food cost is in terms of percentage of your menu price, but should also include a item box for "shelf life", which can be added to inventory report forms.
