Is your foodservice organization ready to annihilate the competition leading to the total destruction of their most profitable menu offerings?
Creating the proper “supersport” attitude with advanced culinary-purchasing-operations teamwork the rocket science blackboard schematics of the New England Patriots.
However, it does require the shot-out guts of USA Hockey star TJ Oshie and attention to 4 management areas that impact cost.
Foreplay To Success
Increase Supplier Performance – make sure your suppliers are meeting your objectives, don’t merely maintain the relationship – build it.
Reduce The Buying Cycle -- most suppliers no longer offer long-term pricing unless you take the risk, so streamline your bid process and focus on quarterly bids that generate even modest savings or cost-avoidance.
Cut Purchasing Costs and Overhead – lower operating costs by outsourcing where you don’t have on-staff staff expertise. If company-buying responsibility rests with the multi-tasking executive in the corner office who does many things “adequately”, ask your distributor if your prices are comparable with your competitors’.
Reduce Maverick Purchasing and Increase Control – increases spend management and control purchases - you will need to maximize every purchase dollar.
Whose chain menu will reign supreme?
From the Sochi Olympic Stadium to Kitchen Stadium - Iron Chef, the lesson is the same...challenge your Gastronutritional and creative Team to gain the People's ovation and make your culinary-purchasing ROCK.
