2 half days online course: Food and Beverage Cost Control

9 Jul 2024

Food and Beverage Controllers need to ensure that every stage of the purchasing cycle and the costing process is designed to maintain profitability. This starts with menu planning, costing dishes, choosing suppliers through to production and sale to the customer!

‘Cost Control for Food & Beverage Operations’ is delivered online over two half day sessions and is designed to help all those in catering businesses who need to manage food and beverage costs, from purchasing through to selling products. The sessions have been designed to help participants understand pricing methods and the control of gross profit as well as assisting with the effective execution of daily tasks such as ordering, storage and issuing stock. Since payroll costs tend to be a significant cost for many, the course will also cover wage and salary controls.

Organisations Involved

Cost Control for F&B Operations’ is delivered over the course of four 90 minute online sessions on two half days by Debra Adams, an experienced facilitator from arena4finance. Taking a practical approach, the course is highly interactive with polls and quizzes and consists of a series of worked examples, case studies and discussions.

What our clients say:

"Debra Adams is simply amazing at helping non-financial managers to not only understand, but actively engage with, the commercial and financial aspects of their operation. She has a wealth of in-depth knowledge of both operational and strategic finance, specifically in the hospitality industry where margins are tight and cash flow imperative. Knowing the content is one thing, but knowing how to teach others is what Debra excels at, with her years of experiences as a professional lecturer, trainer, coach and teacher.

For over 10 years, she has been my go-to person for training any group of managers at all levels to explore and understand the financial story of their business. She is an invaluable member of our delivery team for the Award-winning Master Innholders Aspiring Leaders Diploma and the MIDAS series."
