Prime Cost Diagnostic (Editable)

$49.00

One period of numbers in. The answer to where it is going out.

Enter one month off your P&L — sales, food and beverage purchases, and total labor including your own salary at a market rate. The sheet returns food cost, beverage cost, labor and prime cost against the operating targets for your concept type, and prices every gap in dollars per year at your current volume.

Then it names the largest single gap and tells you what that line usually means. Food is a purchasing, waste or recipe-costing problem. Beverage is almost always pour cost and comps. Labor is usually two overstaffed shifts a week, not too many people on the payroll.

Fully editable Excel. The benchmarks are commonly used operating targets rather than survey data, and the sheet says so — replace them with your own history as you build it.
