Professional Tips for Accurate Costing
- Track 5 KPIs daily: revenue, food cost %, labour %, prime cost %, net margin %.
- Set thresholds — red alerts when food cost % drifts more than 2 points above target.
- Review the dashboard at 14:00 daily — gives time to fix problems before evening service.
- Monthly P&L reviews are mandatory — drift is silent and lethal.
