Summary: Big Book with a ton of tips... 2006-01-26
Comment: I am not an accountant. Just thinking about the bookkeeping associated with profit planning and cost cutting intimidates me. The Food Service Manager's Guide To Cost directed me to accounting software and tools such as Tasty Profits and the National Restaurant Association's Chart of Accounts to keep my books in order. I thought Point of Sale systems were items of convenience and style. The book showed me that POS systems monitor inventory, staff performance and schedules, and even reports possible theft. Tricks of the Trade, testimonials from established restaurateurs, give a wealth of insight. The book reveals thousands of cost cutting secrets such as using a celebrated chef to design your menu, but not actually cook it. There are also must-see tips for decreasing profit-loss of theft and an inefficient staff. The book is humongous and every page of it is filled with applicable tips to improve your bottom line without sacrificing quality.
