Foodservice Accounting and How to Measure Success
There are important ways to measure foodservice success in convenience stores, and there are numerous tools and technologies available that can make it easier. However, these tools – including scanning, cost accounting systems, and foodservice management and reporting systems – are only as good as the managers using them.
The tools yield data, but a knowledgeable manager will be able to look at the data and extract valuable information such as determining the source of the problems and potential ways to remedy them, according to industry experts.
