Tracking Labor and Costs

Do you track your cost of Goods Sold or labor cost? If not,  you should. 

Labor costs are easy to track, just put the employees into SP-1 and then add their wage and overtime wage.  You can even add a a daily salary amount for those employees that you don't pay hourly.  SP-1 will then calculate an on the fly labor percent for you.

Cost of Goods is a little more difficult. In order to track this,  you need to enter the inventory items and then link them to the menu items.  That way SP-1 knows your portions and weights.  From there it is just a matter of receiving inventory and performing physical counts. This will give you an on the fly COG's number.

Give it a try... I'm sure you will see that you have better control over your location.
