A restaurant lives and dies on food cost, labor cost, and check average. This workbook holds a menu cost sheet that prices every plate to the ingredient, a daily sales tracker, inventory and COGS that ties back to the menu, and labor scheduling that respects payroll caps. The vendor purchase log makes the reorder call obvious.
