Track ingredient costs

Could you tell immediately if the price of a key ingredient jumped by 10%, if your inventory became heavily overstocked with at-risk items or if one of your most popular dishes barely made any money? Being able to track the costs of ingredients is fundamental to profitability.

Common issues for restaurants

So often, margins can be won or lost by how successfully restaurants are able to track the cost of ingredients. However, managers often lack the insights and controls to stay on top. When issues arise, it’s often too late – money has been spent already.

Clear signs of challenges around ingredients pricing

Do any of these issues sound familiar?

  • Pricing errors:
    You notice unexplained fluctuations in ingredient costs that can lead to pricing errors, impacting your bottom line and eroding profit margins.
  • Inventory challenges:
    Overstocks and understocks can disrupt your operations.
  • Lack of procurement control:
    The absence of consistent procurement practices has led to increased costs and operational disarray.

To address these challenges, Syrve uses advanced but intuitive technology to bring order and efficiency to your procurement processes.
