The Monday page

What the file tells you every week

Food cost is the one number the kitchen and the menu are judged on — and most places only see it when the accountant does. This sheet costs every dish from your ingredient prices, classes the menu into stars and dogs, and flags the ingredient that jumped before it eats the week.

01 · verdictFood cost — last week vs target, the gap in money, the trend

02 · verdictMenu — dishes over the flag, STAR / PLOWHORSE / PUZZLE / DOG, the fix per dish

03 · verdictPrices in — ingredients that jumped and the dishes they touch
