How to Improve Restaurant Profits Using Food Market Hub’s Production History Report

You have to keep track of everything that’s being cooked in your restaurant’s kitchen- the ingredients used, and the costs involved. Without proper restaurant stock management software, it’s easy to lose track of production details, leading to waste, mismanagement, and unnecessary expenses. This is where Food Market Hub’s Production History Report comes in. It gives you complete visibility into what has been produced in your kitchen, helping you control costs, manage stock efficiently, and make better business decisions.

What is a Production History Report?

One of the biggest challenges in managing production in a restaurant is knowing exactly what has been prepared at any given time. Whether you have a single location or multiple outlets, the Production History Report lets you track all dishes cooked in real-time. You can check what meals have been prepared, ensuring that production aligns with demand. This feature is especially useful when you want to analyze trends and understand which dishes are most frequently prepared.

Monitor Multiple Branches Without Hassle

If you have multiple outlets, keeping track of each one can be difficult. With the Production History Report, you can check what’s being cooked at any of your locations at any moment. The report includes a Branch column, so you can see exactly which outlet has produced a particular dish. This makes it easy to compare production across locations, ensuring consistency and efficiency.

Trace Back Every Ingredient Used

Understanding ingredient usage is essential for effective restaurant inventory management. The Document Number column helps you trace ingredients to the supplier bill, ensuring that everything is accounted for. This reduces the risk of missing stock and allows you to investigate any discrepancies quickly. If an issue arises, such as a quality complaint or a missing ingredient, you can easily track its source and resolve the problem efficiently.

Check Production Quantity in Detail

Knowing how much food is being produced helps in recipe management and planning. The Production Quantity column lets you see how many dish portions have been prepared. Whether it's 10 plates of chicken fried rice or 20 loaves of bread, you can check the exact numbers. This feature helps you adjust production levels based on demand, minimizing waste and improving efficiency in your kitchen.

Units of Measurement for Accuracy

Every dish is produced in specific units, whether it's kilograms, liters, or pieces. The Units of Measurement column standardizes these values so you can track production accurately. This eliminates confusion and ensures that kitchen staff follow proper portion sizes, leading to consistency in your food quality.

Track Production by Date

With the Date column, you can see when a particular dish was prepared. This feature is crucial for analyzing production patterns, helping you predict demand and plan ingredient purchases accordingly. It also allows you to maintain proper records, ensuring that your kitchen operates efficiently with minimal waste.

Understand Your Total Production Cost

Pricing your menu correctly is essential for profitability. The Total Production Cost column gives you a clear picture of how much it costs to produce each dish. This helps you make informed decisions when setting prices, ensuring that your restaurant remains profitable while keeping prices fair for customers. By knowing the cost per dish, you can also identify areas where you might be overspending and find ways to reduce costs without compromising quality.

Get a Clear Breakdown of Ingredients Used

Knowing the ingredients used in each dish is crucial for better management of stock in your restaurant. The Ingredient Name column provides a complete list of all ingredients used to prepare a dish. Whether it’s rice, chicken, or spices, you’ll have full visibility into what goes into your food.

Ingredient Quantity and Measurement for Precise Stock Control

The Ingredient Units of Measurement and Quantity column shows the exact quantity of each ingredient used. If a recipe requires 200 grams of chicken or 500 ml of oil, this report records those details. This ensures that inventory is used efficiently and helps prevent wastage. When you know exactly how much of each ingredient is being used, you can make better purchasing decisions and avoid over-ordering or running out of stock unexpectedly.

Control Costs with Ingredient Cost Analysis

Ingredient costs can add up quickly, making it important to track expenses at every level. The Ingredient Cost column breaks down the cost of each ingredient used in a dish. This allows you to analyze individual ingredient costs and, if necessary, look for more cost-effective alternatives. If one ingredient significantly affects your production cost, you can explore cheaper alternatives without affecting quality.

Calculate Total Ingredient Cost for Better Budgeting

The Total Ingredient Cost column sums up the cost of all ingredients used in a dish. This gives you a full picture of how much each recipe costs to prepare. When combined with the Total Production Cost, you can make more informed decisions about menu pricing and portion sizes. Controlling ingredient costs is key to increasing profit margins while maintaining food quality.
