have survived talks with would-be food and beverage manager, where the food cost was called Food Costs, the formulas for calculating it seemed to pull out of the creativity of Tremonti (pity that the minister is competent in economic matters and can afford to develop new theories).
Let's do some 'clarity and to make simple what is sometimes made it difficult to hide chronic incompetence!
What then is the food cost?
Technically it is a value set as a percentage, which establishes the relationship between the cost of raw materials used in the preparation of a dish and its selling price. Simply put is the index that summarizes the management skills of our chefs in the kitchen ...
touched the sore spot ...
How many times chefs suffer the humiliation of F & B Cooking understand little or nothing ... arrive with contemptuous sneer and sheets in his hand and utter the fateful words ... "The Chef's Food Cost (i) is too high!"
To overcome this problem the only solution is ... TRAINING TRAINING, TRAINING!
course, not all F & B are so. there are very good and it is right that they are properly rewarded.
We see then the formula for calculating this figure capable of life or death (Commercial) of our chef.
COST OF COURSE / SALE PRICE X 100
This is the basic formula. Already implies a range of knowledge is not indifferent as:
calculation and control of recipes.
application of proper methods of pricing.
knowledge of the cycle of food products.
calculating the cost of food sold.
As you can see the calculation of the FC is not difficult, but requires appropriate training. The F & B is too often an honor given only for reasons of seniority or opportunism. The F & B management is a complex system for monitoring the efficiency of a department so important (especially in economic terms) as the restaurant. Most of the time losses resulting from the F & B department are compensated for by the department or Wellness Room ... And so it substantially reduces the margins ...
If you are lucky enough to have a F & B could tenetevelo close ... worth more than what it costs ... believe me ...
