Idea 1 - F&B Purchasing for Success
|
Supersize the Order
Consolidate Master Food Distributor (MFD)orders with other departments. Your MFD may offer discounts for fewer drops with larger orders.
Buy items that have long shelf life in larger quantities. Don't forget that non-food items, like paper products and cleaning chemicals, count in your drop size.

Scrutinize the Drops
Maximize each order and optimize drop size. Get in the habit of evaluating your delivery schedule to make each delivery count. Planning ahead really makes a difference -- allowing the savings to really add up.

Guide the Par
Create par levels for items and production, but regularly evaluate and update them based on occupancy and available guests. Keep the par in line with your current needs.

Look for Highly Leveraged Items
Your Master Food Distributor may offer highly leveraged items. Look for the special "highly leveraged" designation as you put together Order Guides or as you order online. These items are cost-controlled, offering you a good value and another chance to add up the savings.
