Of all the costs your restaurants generate, your food is one of the largest. The cost of the food you serve can be affected by so many different outside influences, some of them more obvious, like the rise and fall of fuel costs or the effects of good or bad weather. The cost of food and beverages is a bit of a moving target.

The cost of goods sold (COGS) is a restaurant metric that shows you the cost of all ingredients used to prepare a menu item, including the food, beverage costs, and other direct expenses.

If you are anything like me, the anticipation of a really good restaurant experience is at the top of my list when traveling, or just taking a break from cooking at home. It doesn’t need to parallel those outstanding restaurants I mentioned before – just good food, made with a little passion and care. Delicious food shouldn’t hurt.
