How a 30 minute conversation with Hospitality Solutions helped a Client to save €3,000 on food costs
On a recent review with a new client the question was asked “how can we control costs on our food margins with out affecting the quality of the food & the choice of dishes that we offer?” – we looked at the average weight on a roasting striploin of beef , spoke with the butcher & re specified the weight & trim on the beef – this worked out at an average saving of €57.69 per week x 52 weeks = €3,000 – this savings can now be invested in growing the business. Hospitality Solutions can help you manage your costs & help grow your profits
