Where would you start looking for answers? Or is my calculations off... Weekly Beginning Inventory 7,000 Purchases + 2,000 Ending Inventory - 5000 Cost Of Goods = $4000. So far so good... Food Sales(pretax) $10,000 So food cost = 40%, right? My problem is that every menu item is priced at or below 30%(averages about 27%). 27% food cost on $10000, is $2700, not $4000 as in my COGS. So where did the $1300 go? Ideas: * waste- That's ALOT of waste, I'm sure it's part of it, but not that much. My waste sheets weigh in around $100/week * theft- self explanatory, but $1300 worth of food is alot to steal. * employee benefits- free meals. But the are included in the sales already(just received as "discounts") * Mis-categorized items- Is it customary to include toilet paper, cleaning supplies etc. in food cost? My gut is telling me that's its a combination of all of the above, but any insight and opinions are welcome.. Todd
