Lowering Your Food Costs: HOW DOES COSTGUARD ACTUALLY LOWER YOUR FOOD COSTS?

As you know, our key sales claim is that CostGuard lowers your food costs. But it's time to back that claim up with some examples of how that's accomplished, and no other software company can make all these claims. Here are a few:


    REDUCED INVENTORY LEVELS


By counting inventory, and knowing your exact levels by item, group (e.g., meat, seafood, dairy, wine), and

   super-group (e.g., food, liquor), you'll identify excess inventory levels. You'll order less, and decrease waste. 
 

CostGuard's optional suggested orders keep discipline in the ordering process.
 

You'll be amazed what happens when your employees know that you're monitoring inventory levels.

    REDUCED ACTUAL FOOD COSTS


CostGuard
identifies 'price creep' instantly. This provides tremendous leverage when you're working with your suppliers.
 

We compare bids to actual receiving prices. You'll always know when a delivery doesn't match your bid.
 

After you enter your counts and receipts, CostGuard tells you your actual food costs.

   You'll quickly identify over-used items.

    REDUCED IDEAL FOOD COSTS


Price changes AUTOMATICALLY post to all your recipes. You'll instantly see if price creep is eroding

   your ideal food cost.
 

The Sales module provides an instant 'ideal' food cost based in your sales mix.
 

The Winners and Losers report tells what menu items are really contributing to your bottom line. Just because an item

    is popular doesn't mean it's profitable; the reverse is also true. This report allows you to analyze your menu, and make

    the changes necessary to increase profits.
 

You can price your recipes compared to a global target, or even have a target food cost BY CATEGORY.  

   This allows you to maximize your selling price.

    REDUCED SHRINKAGE


CostGuard identifies the difference between your actual and ideal food costs. Once you see the big picture,

   CostGuard can actually provide shrinkage down to the item level. 
 

The Alert Report sorts items by shrinkage dollars. These are your real problems, and CostGuard reports them to you.

There's much more, but hopefully that's enough to show you how CostGuard, more than any other foodservice software, actually lowers your food costs.
