Biggest discrepancy: Produce counted $410 below expected, driven by avocado and romaine spoilage.
Practical flags a chef, GM, or owner can act on this week.
Actual food cost is 3.4 points above theoretical. The largest contributors are seafood variance, produce spoilage, and fryer oil price increases.
Atlantic Salmon usage is 18% higher than expected based on POS sales. Check portioning, prep waste, or unrecorded specials.
Avocado price increased 18.4%. Consider temporary menu pricing, substitution, or reduced garnish quantity.
Produce waste peaked on Tuesday and Wednesday, likely from over-prep after a slower-than-forecast lunch period.
Burger gross margin remains strong even with beef price movement. This is currently a reliable profit item.
Three high-volume menu items are below target margin and should be reviewed before the next menu update.
