Cost of Goods

Welcome to the Cost of Goods section! This is your go-to resource for managing all aspects of inventory and procurement. Here, you'll find articles that guide you through setting up items, processing orders, and receiving shipments efficiently. Learn how to handle invoices, trade with stores, enter waste, and accurately enter inventory data. Additionally, configure settings for count sheets, vendor delivery schedules, and item usage. A key concept in this section is Theoretical Usage, which represents the ideal quantity or cost of items that should have been used based on actual sales and recipes—assuming no waste, spoilage, or over-portioning. Comparing theoretical usage to actual usage helps identify variances, control food costs, and improve operational efficiency. The articles in this section will equip you with the knowledge to streamline your cost of goods and theoretical usage processes, ensuring smooth and effective operations.
