Loss Factor Analysis

The Loss Factor analysis is a method of applying a true cost to a recipe or stock item taking into account all forms of loss that could apply. We are referring to:


·    Examples of Loss

·    Spillage when pouring from a bottle into a tot measure.

·    The wastage from cutting up a chicken and using only the fillets and not selling the wings and legs. How do you recover the original cost of the whole bird?

·    Trimming a leg of Lamb. The big bone is thrown away. It add to the weight of the leg when you purchased the entire leg of lamb and you were charged for it.

·    The ullage left in a Keg of Beer. There is a lot of foam spilt or wastage in the pipes or keg.


These are examples of loss where we are able to recover the cost if we include this loss factor into the original cost of the recipe.

·    Loss Factor

The Loss Factor for this stock item can be selected by clicking on the selection arrow in the description box and selecting an option from the drop down list. Value, Percentage or Units.


·    Value

In the example above we have used the following figure (10) as a value. This will be the monetary value that is lost every time this recipe is sold. Here the value 10 is added to the cost total.


graphic


·    Percentage

Here we added a loss factor of 10%. This percentage relates to 10% of the original cost price of 2.37. I.e.: Cost Price + 10% of Cost Price (= 2.37 + 0.237 = 2.607)


graphic






·    Units

Here we added a loss factor of 10 Units. Here the 10 units are referring to 10units of the original product of 340ml. I.e. the value of 10 units of the product is lost in each recipe. Therefore the value of each ml is 2.37 / 340ml = 0.0069 and 10 units would be worth 0.069. Add this value to your original cost price of 2.37 you will be left with a total cost of 2.440. I.e. 2.37 + 0.069 = 2.439.
