💸 Costs Update: 🐰 April 2022

By: Mitch Wooderson

Prices Are Up :(

We're now starting to look at price changes month over month. I'm not including the March 2022 vs September 2021 prices because it will not match up when everything else is month over month.

If you want to see the prices changes from Sept 2021 to Mar 2022 you can look at them here 👇🏻

💸 Prices Update: 🍀 March 2022
Charts to show percentage change in our food cost month over month.

Alright, now let's look at some charts!

MoM (Month over Month) % Increase in Per Unit Cost

What is this chart is showing me?

The detail behind the chart: Prices are updated for every individual item. Once the purchase price is updated, we have a new cost for unit of measure "Per Unit".

This takes the new per unit cost, groups all items by their subgroup to gather the total subgroup change, and then compares to the previous month

What do I see?

Up

Dairy: The price we've been paying for cheese has increased a good bit.

Meat: After no price increase in our chicken over 6 months, it jumped 10% this morning. At 8% meat isn't the top mover but as you'll see below our meat makes up 38% of the total cost of our menu, so it increasing hurts us more than increases in dairy or sauces.

Down

Produce: Now that we're busier we are consistently buying in bulk. We also found a better supplier. So a double whammy, in a good way, for us.

Tortillas are in every item we offer and we're stilling buying them at a grocery store retail price. We need to find cheaper ones, and have been trying for a while, but have not had any success yet.
