Buffets with no ticket.
Food goes out by the tray and nobody records what was served, so there's nothing to compare the cost against.
Hotels and all-inclusive
How do you control a buffet with no ticket?
Restaurants, bars, buffets, banquets, minibars and a central kitchen, each with its own control and all connected, with F&B cost per guest per night as your master indicator. Plus every feature of our restaurant solution.
Where the money goes
Four leaks every hotel knows.
Included and premium bars mixed up.
Some guests drink as part of their plan and others pay; without separating them, the cost of each is blurred.
Banquets quoted by feel.
Events are quoted before anyone knows their real cost, and the margin is only discovered afterwards.
Many areas, one number at month-end.
Restaurants, bars, minibars and banquets add up to a single figure that arrives too late to act on.
In a hotel, the cost doesn't disappear. It hides between areas.
How we control it
Every area under its own control. All of them connected.
Buffets under control.
By diner count, standard recipe and tolerances by zone.
Bars by bottle weight.
Included and premium bars tracked separately, with a Bluetooth scale.
Minibars by floor.
Inventory and consumption by floor and by area.
Events and banquets costed from the quote.
Venue and equipment bookings, and orders sent straight to the kitchen.
Central kitchen and satellite storage.
Several warehouses and a production kitchen, all connected.
Daily F&B cost.
Per guest, per night and per area. Not just at month-end.
The number that matters
F&B cost per guest per night. Every day.
One number that brings the whole hotel together, broken down by area, meal period, nationality and day of the week. You see it every morning, not when the month is already closed.
