Having been “out” of the hospitality sector for the past 9-months I’ve been busy reconnecting with contacts as I’m keen to understand the key difficulties still facing foodservice operators…🤔 What I expected versus what I was told? ▶ Cost of living and overall rising costs? = Yes ✅ ▶ Supply chain disruption? = Not so much now (go suppliers!!) 🙌 ▶ Staff turnover / general public disruption (train, tube and bus strikes)? = Sigh, roll of the eyes, so over it but yes 🙄 But the big and unexpected (for me at least) theme coming through is that demand forecasting is becoming more difficult. Why? Operators say that it is becoming harder to predict when customers decide to eat out, for example, midweek demand has been going up and the weekend can be below average. When a business’ reputation and profits depend on proper inventory management the risk of not being able to forecast accurately means they face increased food waste, inflated costs, and frustrated customers. It’s a real challenge… …but does it need to be? Our latest blog has focussed on this real-life issue as at Apicbase we know now more than ever, every restaurant must adopt a robust demand forecasting strategy. If you are unfamiliar with demand forecasting or are just finding that it’s becoming an increased issue then you are not alone, this article is for you.

The principle “What gets measured gets managed” Emphasizes the importance of tracking key metrics to effectively manage any business operation. In the restaurant industry, this holds particularly true. By measuring aspects like food costs, labor efficiency, and customer satisfaction, restaurant owners can identify trends, pinpoint inefficiencies, and make data-driven decisions to improve performance. For example, tracking inventory levels helps minimize waste and optimize purchasing, while monitoring labor costs ensures shifts are well-staffed without overspending. Similarly, measuring customer feedback through surveys or online reviews provides insights into areas for improvement. In short, what you consistently measure gives you the control and insight needed to make informed decisions, improve processes, and achieve your business goals.

In the F&B industry, a manager's primary responsibility is to deliver quality products and services to guests at prices that are mutually agreeable. It's essential that the quality provided ensures guests feel they have received excellent value for their money. This balance between cost and quality is crucial for a business to prosper. However, if management focuses more on reducing costs than on providing value, problems will inevitably arise. As the passage eloquently explains, the primary responsibility of F&B managers is to strike the right balance between controlling costs and delivering exceptional value to guests. This delicate equilibrium is essential for achieving sustainable profitability.
