Prime Cost KPI — Cost of Goods

Manager In-Service Training

📊 About This Topic
🛒 Understanding Cost of Goods

Cost of Goods is the other half of Prime Cost — everything a guest eats, drinks, or receives as part of their order. Unlike labor, which is visible in real time on the Team Hot Sheet, food cost only becomes visible when you count it. This training covers what counts as COGS, how to measure it through daily fast-checks and monthly full inventory, and the daily habits that keep it under control. The target remains 52% of net sales for both halves combined.
