Avoid Eating Up Profits

Food-service profit margins are thin, placing every food service operator under constant pressure to control costs and eliminate waste. In an ongoing balancing act, he or she must watch everything from food costs, waste, spoilage and over-use of expensive ingredients to outright theft.

Once received, perishable products must be stored correctly to ensure that food remains usable. When it comes to serving meals or snacks, efficient operators avoid giving away profits in the form of free food or incorrect portions.
