We can help with the specification and implementation of systems that deliver your offering without a hitch. To protect your profits, we can also build in margin and waste control.

Profitability Analysis and Gross Profit (GP%)

Stock profitability is one of the key factors in the success of your bar, café, restaurant or pub. Another is how you use, manage and rotate the products in your stockroom.

As part of our profitability analysis, we’ll audit your purchases, recipes and selling prices to ensure you’re hitting the margins you need to generate profit. We can also establish stocktaking systems, provide software advice and offer training.
