I would suggest you should go for "newsvendor model" (search on internet) and make some calculations with underage cost, overage cost, critical fractile and optimum order quantity.

Understand what your company is ordering for inventory and how those ingredients can be utilized across your menu to minimize waste, as your menu is tailored and changed, you can determine what ingredients you have and what ingredients you will need to fit those changes. It’s okay to order a special ingredient for items however another important factor to understand is the total quantity (say over a month) of all menu items ordered.

With that info you should be able to minimize waste easily.

I have developed a POWERBI for some resturants locally that pull data from toast in order to determine frequency of orders. If you are able to pull together an ingredients list and menu, you can integrate that into the BI to determine what you need to better prepare your business for the month.

Comforting others:
When someone tells me bad news regarding their health, I say everything I am supposed to say (I’m sorry to hear that, I’m here for you, etc) EXCEPT “everything is going to be ok”. Because I can’t guarantee that and I really don’t know if everything is going to be ok. I was taken aback recently when a friend told me I am calloused and cold-hearted for not being able to say those words. Is she right? Should I start saying this for the purposes of providing comfort only??

It’s very discouraging to continuously receive these rejection emails. With 9 years of supply chain experience, I am not sure why I would not be able to at least get an interview for entry level roles that require no experience. Not just this one pictured but others as well. I’ve applied to maybe 60 positions since May, both mid level and “entry” and no interviews. I’ve had my resume professionally re-written twice. Not sure where the disconnect is. Anyone else going through this same thing?
