The Menu AND The Cycle of Cost Control

Success in today's food and beverage organizations requires a solid knowledge of industry trends, the ability to prepare cost-effective menus that appeal to guests' needs and wants, and the skills to develop and implement a concrete strategic fiscal plan to control costs and to manage sales. The Menu & The Cycle of Cost Control provides the reader with the knowledge necessary to accomplish these tasks and to become effective, contributing members of a management team. The 6th edition of The Menu and the Cycle of Cost Control features current information on menu development, trends and concepts, cost control and sales analysis documents, industry-related law and requirements, as well as the necessary control procedures and mathematical processes to help to control costs and analyze sales. Almost every procedure discussed, from recipe costing to labor cost controls, can be accomplished using a Point of Sales (POS) system with the right configurations. The POS can provide the business's cost and sales information often by simply running a report. However, what good is the information (a bunch of numbers and percentages) if a manager does not know what the information is indicating? Therefore, it is even more important to know how the information was calculated and what the information means so the results can be utilized to the business's advantage. To put it simply, all formulas within the text and website are just mathematical support to the common sense of chefs and managers.
