Food Cost Audit

Numbers don't lie: Your profit is escaping through the kitchen

In 2024, the average restaurant in Zakopane loses about 4.7% margin on products that never reach the guest's plate. This is not just guesswork. Since September 2016, we have analyzed 134 gastronomic facilities under Giewont. The result is always similar: lack of precise recipes and a mess in the warehouse are the biggest thieves of your money. No more wasting goods. We enter your kitchen, check invoices from the last 4 months, and calculate the real cost of each dish down to the penny.

Work done on time and without fluff

Our audit usually lasts from 11 to 18 business days. We don't promise miracles, just hard data. Marek Bachleda-Curuś, our main consultant, personally verifies 87 key inventory indices in your pantry. We check weights, compare prices from 3 different suppliers from Podhale, and catch differences that are not visible to the naked eye. Methods proven in Tatra conditions allow us to point out places where your staff uses too much product or where the supplier inflates the margin by 2.3% relative to market prices.

• Analysis of the 15 most popular dishes from the menu in terms of real consumption.
• Verification of losses at the preparation stage (so-called 'waste log').
• Comparison of purchase prices from 4 local food wholesalers.
• Creation of a 12-page report with specific changes to implement.

Specific savings instead of theory

In the last quarter, we helped one of the guesthouses on Bulwary Słowackiego Street lower food cost from 34.2% to 29.8%. This means an additional 3,420 PLN profit per month with the same turnover. We are not interested in generalities. We focus on making sure you know whether one pork chop costs you 12.40 PLN or 14.10 PLN. The difference seems small, but with 480 portions a month, it is a specific amount that stays in your wallet. Our team, currently numbering 6 specialists, responds to client questions in an average of 2h 14min. We are here to watch over your money.

"At first, I thought an audit was just unnecessary paper. Marek showed me, however, that on oil and flour alone I was overpaying 960 PLN per month because no one weighed the portions. It was worth every penny spent on this check."
— Tomasz Staszel, owner of Willa pod Smrekami, May 2024

Don't wait until the season ends to sum up the losses. An audit is an investment that usually pays off within 37 days of implementing our recommendations. If your inventory doesn't match the inventory check by more than 1.8%, it's a sign the system is leaking. We will plug those holes. biuro@tatrypeak-management.pl is waiting for your report. We act specifically, in a highlander style, without mincing words. P.S. The first phone call, during which we will assess the scale of the problem, lasts exactly 15 minutes and does not commit you to anything.
