Food cost trend across a 60-day engagement

Transforming Profitability Through Operational Excellence

A mid-sized casual dining brand was facing a food cost of 35% and needed an immediate, targeted intervention. A full operational audit traced the problem to friction on both sides of the house: inconsistent order verification at the table, eyeballed portioning in the kitchen instead of standardized measurement, and prep sheets that were not being completed accurately, leading to chronic over-production and spoilage.

Phase 1

Back of House Re-Engineering

Hands-on recipe re-training so every cook could read and execute standardized recipes with full fidelity, paired with a strict mise en place protocol requiring scales and portion tools before any prep began.

Phase 2

Management Accountability

The Manager on Duty became fully responsible for prep sheet accuracy, with daily check-ins comparing forecast to actual usage, plus a zero-tolerance policy on labeling and shelf-life tracking to cut spoilage.

Phase 3

Front of House Standardization

A non-negotiable order-verification sequence for the floor team, with the MOD actively coaching every shift, eliminating the root cause behind remakes and comped meals.

Result: Strict process compliance dropped food cost by 3 points in the first month alone. A follow-up visit focused on habituation, coaching the new standards until they became second nature, unlocked the remaining 2 points and landed the restaurant at a sustainable 30%.
