Do you know the price of ingredients and the profit margin for every item on your menu? Being able to calculate and track costs is essential as you select and refine recipes that are popular with customers and drive profit for your business.
Every recipe has a cost, which can fluctuate with the market price of ingredients. Other factors, such as inventory control, wastage and stock movements can also change the dynamics of how much dishes are costing and the prices you set. It’s important to find a way to manage all the moving parts in real-time, so you can sustain margins.
Do any of these issues sound familiar?
Syrve’s technology enhances key functions that make a difference.
Being able to calculate and track costs starts with your inventory stage – and knowing your data is trustworthy.
With Syrve, you can streamline the inventory management process, optimise how ingredients are used and reduce waste. The app guides staff through inventory checks on mobile devices, automates item identification and ensures that no steps are skipped. In the event of variances, the system prompts a recount before submission. Real-time updates, including cost figures, empower you to keep track of inventory levels, minimise waste and optimise ingredient use.
Knowing the cost of each component is fundamental for estimating dish costs accurately and ensuring that your menu is appropriately priced. This becomes especially critical for menu items with tighter profit margins, where even small changes in ingredient costs can hit your bottom line.
