ADMINISTRATION Tool Kit:
COST ANALYSIS TOOL
The Cost Analysis Tool provides cost information on recipes,
special functions, etc., using current ingredient prices. Reports
can be generated on the food cost of a cycle day menu, separating
the total production costs between patient and non-patient areas.
The system will calculate the suggested
selling price of cafeteria items based on actual food cost in conjunction
with user-selected formulas and variables, compare projected costs
with anticipated revenue, and show expected gross profit and the
percentage of profit to sales. The system can be used like an electronic
spreadsheet to determine the best menu item mix and pricing methodology
to obtain desired profit objectives in the retail areas of the operation.
