Kitchen Management 101: Reduce Work, Theft and Chaos with an Easy to Use Order Guide
Fast food or fine dining. Mediterranean seafood or Mexican fare. Today's independent restaurants differ vastly in service style and cuisine. Nevertheless, when it comes to the ordering product or keeping it in stock, all restaurants are pretty much alike.
No restaurant owner or manager wants to run out of food during a busy shift. On the other hand, they don't want to risk having excess inventory spoilage or tie up much-needed cash for other expenses.
In this 1-hour interactive webinar, we'll show you how to use a simple order guide for any type of restaurant. When used diligently, an order guide helps to control waste, discourage theft and maintain the right amount of product on hand to serve your guests.
In this session, we'll show you how to:
- Set up a perpetual running inventory order guide
- Quickly view 4-week usage on any inventory product
- Set proper ordering pars
- Use your POS to forecast product usage
- Maintain current prices for all inventory items
- Reduce the time counting product on hand
- Set up manageable ordering schedules and deliveries
- Quickly calculate inventory turns
- Use the order guide to control inventory and reduce waste
