Save money by understanding where you are LOSING money!

Theoretical Inventory
The inventory levels based on how much you should’ve consumed or sold (this is pulled from Toast automatically into xtraCHEF from our sales reports!)
T/F: Recipe costing (track real-time plate costing to maximize margins on every menu item) is included in xtrachef essentials?
F: This is included in Pro. Think the strawberry salad!

Inflation!
T/F: xtraCHEF currently integrates with Toast Payroll to calculate prime costs for recipes
True!
Fill in the blank:
The primary value of Recipe Costing comes from being able to see real-time _____ for each menu item as their costs for ingredients fluctuate.
Margins.
As the cost of an ingredient changes (when imported via invoices), operators can see how the cost & margin for every menu item containing that ingredient changes.
Where in Toast web will a cx have to go to create their waste reasons
Toast Web > Payments >Comps/Promos >Discount and Food Waste Reasons
Variance
The difference between theoretical and actual inventory (expressed as a dollar value, percentage, or physical quantity). Variance could be caused from waste, overportioning or theft.
- While the other features of Toast are focused on driving revenue, xtraCHEF is focused on saving you costs, the other piece of the profitability equation. If you could decrease food costs by 3% how much would that save you overall?
- Who is in charge of handling your accounting/inventory and how long does it take them to fulfill these tasks each week? Think of what you could be saving on labor costs!
What is a PAR level?
The minimum quantity limits that you set for a certain item. When the quantity approaches the minimum level, the item should be reordered.
In the screenshot below, red onions show a 10.49% variance from theoretical to actual consumption. What is one of three reasons that could account for this?
Theft, over-portioning or unreported waste
