historical

Data that has been recorded from the past data to assume the future. Documented costs, to use when evaluating prior expenses, forecasting, and comparing present with past.

Examples of variable costs

Food Beverage Labor Paper Chemical

Control

Food Beverage Labor A process used by managers to control, regulate, and restrain what happens in our restaurant. A process used by managers to direct, regulate, and restrain the actions of people so that the established goals of an enterprise may be achieved. Important use in a restaurant

What are prime costs?

Food Beverage Labor Payroll Materials

How does the perpetual inventory system work?

It's set to maximum, then it gets signed to a minimum, out goes to a room, reordered, put on shelf, and bounces back to maximum.

Quantity standards are:

Measures of weight, count, or volume used to make comparisons or judgements.

Periodic Order Method

Most common method used Amount required for the upcoming period - Amount currently on hand + Amount wanted on hand at the end of the period to last until the next delivery. = Amount to order

labor costs

Payroll costs, which includes salaries, wages, and employee benefits.

What are the two control systems?

Periodic and Perpetual

Which method gives more control?

Perpetual inventory because you have control proof of waste, spoilage, and theft, automatic reordering, costing out of recipes.

Planned

Projections of what costs should be, or will be, based on historical costs Budgeting

Examples of fixed costs

Property taxes Real estate taxes Insurance premiums Rent Depreciation of buildings and equipment Utilities

Quality of deliveries why is it important?

Quality of deliveries can not be verified by anyone unless he/she is completely familiar with the standard purchase specifications for the items received. The receiving clerk must have these for study and for reference.

What are the 3Q's

Quality- Determined by the specification. Insufficient quantities available for production, resulting in lost sales. Excessive quantities on hand, leading to waste, spoilage, pilferage, etc. Incorrect invoices due to receipt of quantities greater or less than ordered. Quantity- measured by weight and how much. Foods of improper quality used in production, resulting in products of quality other than specified, and probably at a cost other than planned. Foods required for production may not be available when needed if the freshness-an important element of quality has not been verified. Items may have spoiled before needed. Alternatively, some items may not be sufficiently ripe for use when needed: melons, tomatoes, bananas, etc. Quote- a matching quote that was given vs what's on the invoice. Incorrect invoice amounts, resulting in food costs other than those planned. Scales are obviously necessary for checking the quantity for those items ordered and billed by weight. Without sales, it's not possible to verify the weight of any item.

Examples of Non-controllable costs

Rent Interest on mortgage Real estate Taxes License fees

Sales Revenue

Resulting from the exchange of products and services for value.

sales price

Revenue resulting from the exchange of products and services for value. The dollar amount charged for each unit of any given product or service sold.

quality standards

Rules or measures established for making comparisons and judgments about the degree of excellence of raw materials, finished products, or work.

How do you get Break Even Point B.E.P?

When Dollar Sales are sufficient to cover both fixed and variable costs exactly, but insufficient to provide any profit. Is the point on which you cover exactly all of your fixed and variable expenses but you don't make any profit. The point at which the sum of all costs is equal to sales so that profit equals zero. An equation stating that sales are equal to the sum of variable costs, fixed costs, and profit (or loss). B.E.P= Break-even Point You take the Variable cost and add it to the fixed cost and add that to the profit. B.E.P$= Variable cost + Fixed cost + Profit Cost of Sales + Cost of Labor + Cost of Overhead + Profit B.E.P$= VC+ FC+P divided by CR Contribution Rate P=0 Profit equals 0

Is Contribution Margin profit?

Yes and No. Not profit until after you cover all your fixed expenses or hit the B.E.P once you brought enough CM to hit the B.E.P then the next CM income is profit. CM= becomes profit after you hit the B.E.P Margins are important because they tell you how many dollars are coming off each entree but, you have to keep adding that money up until you get the B.E.P and then the next margin goes after the B.E.P., it covers overhead expenses, and then you get profit.

How do you get Food Cost percentage?

You divide the cost of the item by the item's sales price to get the item's food cost percentage.

How do you get the sales price?

You take the cost of the item and divide it by the food cost percentage to get the item's sale price.

How do you get the cost?

You take the sales price and multiply it by the food cost percentage to get the cost of that item.

Your Fixed Cost is 416,250 Your Contribution rate is .565 What is your Break Even Point in dollar sales B.E.P$

Your profit is always zero unless said otherwise B.E.P$=FC+P/CR B.E.P$=$416,250+0/.565 B.E.P$=$736,725.66

Fixed Cost

a cost that does not change, no matter how much of a good is produced A cost that is normally unaffected by changes in sales volume; a fixed cost does not increase or decrease significantly as business volume changes and thus is said to have a little direct relationship to the volume of business. Those employees whose numbers do not normally change because of increases and decreases in the volume of business. Changes in their numbers are unlikely unless there are extraordinary changes in volume over an extended period. Noncontrollable, it doesn't change with sales Unaffected (normally) by change in sales volume.

Variable Cost

a cost that rises or falls depending on how much is produced Controllable, does change with sales Clearly related to business volume. Variable cost equals Sales Price multiplied by the variable rate of an item VC=SxVR

Non-controllable costs

costs incurred indirectly and allocated to a responsibility center that are not controllable at that level. Cannot be changed in the short term. A cost that management can not change in the short term. Examples include rent, real estate taxes, and license fees. Fixed
