PUB MANAGEMENT
Like any other business, the diligence with which you manage your O’Hagan’s Irish Pub and Grill will have a direct and immediate impact on your success.
Having a good insight into how your pub operates and performs is all about putting systems and processes in place that provide you with accurate qualitative, quantitative and anecdotal information. The questions you should be asking yourself each day are:
-
Are we making as much money as we should be?
-
Are we providing as good and consistent a product as is possible?
-
Do our guests think we could improve their experience?
UNDERSTANDING THE COMPONENTS OF PRIME COST MANAGEMENT
Poor performance in Cost Management rarely has a single cause and therefore any solution has to examine and address all possible causes. After understanding where you should be on your Prime Costs, these are the questions you need to address to begin to resolve any issues:
FOOD & BEVERAGE COST
LABOUR COST
-
Is my retail pricing correct?
-
Is my menu sales mix causing an issue?
-
Am I paying too much to my vendors for certain items?
-
Are my portions too large?
-
Is there a lot of waste?
-
Is theft happening?
-
Are employee food and beverages being accounted for?
-
Is there too much shrinkage on certain items?
-
Am I carrying items on my menu that are too expensive to stock?
-
What category of my employees is causing the issue?
-
Is there overtime being paid?
-
Are employees clocking in and out as they are supposed to?
-
Am I scheduling the right number of people for the pattern of business?
-
What is the split between my hourly labour cost and my management cost?
-
Are my pay rates in line with industry practices?
-
Are my payroll taxes abnormally affecting labour cost in some way?
