Goals Inc. has announced that its restaurant service, "HANZO Cost Analysis," has been implemented and is now in use across all 35 locations of "Charcoal-Grilled Restaurant Sawayaka," operated by Sawayaka Co., Ltd.
In restaurant operations, cost variances often arise between the specified recipe quantities and actual ingredient usage due to factors like ingredient changes or slight operational differences. Accurately identifying which ingredients at which stores are causing these variances has been a challenge, as it requires cross-analyzing vast amounts of data from procurement, sales, and inventory, a difficult task in a busy environment.
To further enhance customer satisfaction, Sawayaka decided to tackle this challenge by visualizing these cost variances. The company adopted "HANZO Cost Analysis" to solidify its value proposition of "safe, healthy, and energizing deliciousness" and ensure consistent quality across all its locations.
"HANZO Cost Analysis" integrates menu recipe data, which includes theoretical costs, with sales management (POS data), procurement, and inventory data. This allows it to visualize the discrepancies between theoretical and actual costs for each store and ingredient. As a result, management can analyze whether cost variances are caused by inconsistent usage at the store level or by fluctuations in purchase prices.
By identifying cost variances in a timely manner, the system enables more stable menu delivery with reduced portioning inconsistencies, leading to both the maintenance of service quality and improved profitability. Furthermore, establishing operations based on precise recipe quantities reduces reliance on individual staff skills, which in turn contributes to a better working environment for employees.
Goals Inc. will continue to develop its "HANZO" series to support Sawayaka in optimizing its store operations and building a framework for stable product and service delivery, ensuring they can continue to provide their signature "safe, healthy, and energizing deliciousness."
◾️About HANZO Cost Analysis
"HANZO Cost Analysis" automatically links and aggregates data from ingredient-specific procurement, inventory, menu recipes with theoretical costs, and sales management systems. It visualizes the difference between theoretical and actual costs for each store and ingredient. By clarifying these variances and problem areas, the tool facilitates the formulation of strategies for cost improvement.
The store-facing dashboard displays rankings based on predefined cost variance thresholds and lists items with the largest discrepancies. This allows businesses to incorporate "cost variance" into their store evaluation criteria, enabling them to properly assess cost reduction efforts and reward accurate operational execution.
