Setting up your profitability targets

 

This page allows you to set up profitability targets for your retail products.

 

You can choose to set the profitability target as one of the following types:-

 

Food cost percentage is greater than ....

Factor is less than....

Markup is less than....

Gross profit is less than....

 

Resort Bistro uses these settings when displaying retail products on other forms. Normally, when the program is displaying a retail product's pricing and profit details on screen, they are drawn in black text.  Any retail products failing to meet the profitability targets set up in this form will be drawn on screen (and printed) in red to highlight the fact that the product is not performing as expected.

 

For example, say you set up your profitability target as food cost percentage greater than 25%, then any retail ingredients and recipes whose food cost percentages exceed 25% will be highlighted on screen in red.  They will also be highlighted in red on most reports.

 

NOTE: The Product Price Exception report is a special report that lists all retail products which fail to meet the profitability targets set up in this form.

 

Examples of forms that highlight poorly performing retail products are:-

 

Ingredient/Recipe Pricing page of the Retail Product Prices Form.

Product & Prices page of the Menu Form.

Ingredient & Costs page of the Recipe Form.

General Details page of the Ingredient Form.
