A Daily Report Every Restaurant Should Prepare

Presented by: SynergySuite, Restaurant Management Software

​If you're an operator serious about making more money, you and your managers need to know how your biggest, most volatile costs are running as frequently as possible to prevent any loss of profit.

Many operators will prepare a weekly P&L report, but by the time you gather the data and identify the issues you're halfway through the following week. By having a daily report of sales and prime costs when something is out of line, you and your managers can immediately react, cut losses and get the problem resolved. Performing this investigation on a daily basis is far easier than you think.
