Controlling Costs in Foodservice

Controlling Costs in Foodservice is required reading for students interested in opening or managing a foodservice operation. They learn how to create and apply controls in menu planning, as well as food and beverage purchasing, receiving, storage, and inventory management. Labor and facilities management, including resource conservation, are covered in separate chapters. Operating budgets and performance reports are presented, and students practice preparing their own. The growing importance and use of technology in cost control is also described.
