Our restaurant in India still relies on handwritten logs and basic spreadsheets to track expenses, so food cost percentages keep creeping up. The immediate outcome I need is a clear, data-backed plan that reduces overall food costs while maintaining portion consistency and menu quality. Scope of work • Analyse present purchase invoices, recipe yields and wastage reports drawn from our manual records. • Design an easy-to-follow food-costing model (Excel, Google Sheets or another low-cost tool that fits our operation) showing ideal vs. actual cost for every menu item. • Recommend practical steps—vendor rationalisation, recipe adjustments, yield improvement—that translate into measurable savings. Standard Operating Procedures Complete SOP documents are required for: • Kitchen operations – receiving, storage, prep, cooking, hand-off. • Service and floor management – order flow, portion control, plate presentation, wastage logging. • Inventory management – par levels, first-in first-out, daily stock counts, variance reporting. Acceptance criteria 1. A working cost-tracking template populated with one week of our real data, demonstrating reduced variance. 2. SOP manual (PDF + editable format) clearly mapped to the three focus areas and ready for staff training. 3. A brief implementation roadmap outlining staff roles, daily/weekly tasks and key performance indicators to monitor going forward. All reference files and current worksheets will be provided on kickoff.

Hi, I can build this as a practical restaurant food-cost control package: a working cost model, operating procedures, and a clear rollout plan your team can actually use. I would structure the work in three parts: 1. Build a low-cost Excel or Google Sheets food-cost model showing ideal vs. actual cost by menu item, with purchase, yield, wastage, portion, and variance tracking. 2. Populate the model with the first week of sample data you provide, reconcile it back to invoices/logs, and flag missing or inconsistent records instead of guessing. 3. Draft clear SOPs for receiving/storage/prep, service and portion control, wastage logging, inventory counts, variance review, and staff handoff. Deliverables: - Editable cost-tracking workbook - SOP manual in editable format plus PDF - Implementation roadmap with daily/weekly tasks, staff roles, and KPIs - One focused revision after review Before starting, I would confirm the menu-item count, source files, due date, and that any employee/customer/private payment details are removed from the materials. I can start from your current worksheets and return a structured first version in 4 days.
