The Challenge:

• Poor communications and service from some suppliers
• Fluctuations in prices paid and goods received
• Questions over compliance and risk management

Common Issues:

Rising food prices have put a huge strain on restaurants and significantly impacted the cost of goods sold (COGS). But you don’t have to sit back passively and watch your margins erode. There are ways that can help you to gain more control in this vital area.

Understanding the complexity:

Let’s start by examining your current operations:

• Do orders sometimes ‘disappear’ or arrive without warning?
• Is there sometimes overstocking or scarcity in your inventory?
• Are orders often made too early or too late?
• Are employees purchasing stock in different ways?
• Can you track prices from all suppliers easily?
• Do you have ways to monitor and assess suppliers?
• Can you track invoices and payments easily?

These questions will help to uncover the best answers.
