Formula
How this calculator works
This formula converts source operating values into food cogs for quick review.
Food COGS = Beginning Food Inventory + Food Purchases − Ending Food Inventory
Context
Why this metric matters
Use food-only inventories and purchases for food COGS. Mixed F&B stores should split food vs beverage cost.
Hotel insight
Industry context
- Use food-only inventories and purchases for food COGS. Mixed F&B stores should split food vs beverage cost.
- Small changes in denominator rules can move the result, so keep the same reporting basis when comparing periods.
Operational notes
Before you act on the number
- $12,000 + $18,000 − $10,000 = $20,000
- Confirm whether internal-use, complimentary, adjustment, or excluded activity should be included before comparing periods.
- Use this result as an operating guide and review it with the supporting business context.
