Restore COGS Control and Reclaim Lost Profit.

Food cost & COGS erosion rarely happens all at once.

It leaks through inconsistent prep standards, unmanaged inventory variance, weak waste control, purchasing issues, and a lack of store-level ownership. Over time, those leaks compound into real margin compression.

This sprint is designed to restore control within the four walls by identifying where profit is being lost and implementing better operating discipline.

What this solves:

• Food cost drift

• Inventory variance

• Waste, prep, and ordering inconsistency

• Weak financial ownership in-store

What Changes:

• Tighter control systems

• Reduced waste and variance

• Clearer accountability

• Cleaner inventory behavior

• More stable margin performance

This is not a cost-cutting exercise. It’s an operational control reset.
