Restaurant Inventory & Food Cost Control in Qatar

Food cost is where restaurant profit is won or quietly lost. Recipe costing sets the theoretical cost of every dish from current ingredient prices, so menu pricing rests on numbers rather than instinct — and re-costs itself when supplier prices move.

Ingredient stock deducts through recipes as dishes sell, giving theoretical usage. Comparing it to actual counted usage exposes the gap — the portion drift, the wastage, the shrinkage — that no P&L line ever names.

Wastage logging, supplier price tracking and purchase control complete the picture, turning food cost from a monthly shock into a weekly managed number.
