Working closely with your food and beverage operations, Avendra Services Group (ASG) can help identify and codify product specifications that achieve the desired outcome.  Bringing our deep operational experience together with our expansive product knowledge, we do a comprehensive analysis of your F&B program to understand what is really driving food costs and what steps can be taken to lower costs without deviating from your core F&B strategy.

ASG works with you in several ways, including understanding product application – how and where you are using key ingredients.  The next step is identifying ways to reduce product costs without sacrificing quality.  This exercise often includes product cuttings to compare current products with suggested alternatives.  Additionally, we work with customers on waste and yield management processes.  Helping control waste/spoilage and standardizing portion control can provide positive and meaningful impact to overall food costs.

Benefits include:

Lower costs – reduce food costs while maintaining quality expectations and guest satisfaction
Informed options – hands on guidance from F&B product and operational experts helping select cost-saving product alternatives and identify process enhancements
Knowledge – improved understanding of key F&B operations and metrics to help drive profitability and success
