R365 Operational Excellence

Inventory Setup & Governance

A disciplined inventory foundation is non-negotiable. We standardize item masters, map recipes, and design approval flows so every count sheet tells the same truth—whether you have five locations or five hundred.

Tasks we handle

• Inventory set-up across all units
• Item-master standardization and recipe mapping
• Approval-workflow design for counts and transfers
• Periodic inventory review & sign-off

What this means for you
Your teams count faster and correct less. One coherent item catalog eliminates code mismatches, while automated review queues catch errors before they hit COGS. The result is tighter controls, cleaner data, and a smoother month-end close.

Item-Level Variance & Shrink Management

Knowing you spent 31 % on food is nice; knowing where the extra 2 % vanished is transformational. We track every SKU from delivery to plate, isolate unexplained shrink, and translate findings into clear action plans for each GM.

Tasks we handle

• Item-level variance tracking in R365
• Daily shrink and waste analysis
• Exception reports by store, day-part, and SKU
• Targeted coaching recommendations for managers

What this means for you
Granular visibility into theft, waste, and portion control saves real dollars. Managers receive actionable heat-maps, not spreadsheets, so they can address problems during the very next shift—driving immediate, measurable margin gains.

Continuous Daily Ops Analytics

COGS drift starts the moment a line cook mis-rings an item or tosses a half pan of prep. We capture that data in real time, compare theoretical vs. actual usage before the next service, and surface exceptions so teams can correct course while the shift is still fresh.

Tasks we handle

• Daily item-level inventory entry & transfer auditing
• Real-time waste logging & oversight
• Automatic “theoretical vs. actual” food-cost calculations
• Dashboards and alerts for chefs, managers, and finance

What this means for you
A same-day feedback loop prevents small mistakes from snowballing. Live dashboards show true food cost by day-part, empowering operators to adjust prep levels, portion sizes, or pricing on the fly—protecting margins shift after shift.
