As a flexible budgeting software system Rabio can easily be integrated into business to control budget & costs. One of these cases is restaurant cost control management and in this article, we are going to see how Rabio can help.
What is a restaurant budget?
A restaurant budget is defined by the financial limits, while the restaurant’s financial forecast determines what the owner will be able to do within those limits. While there will always be costs that the owner can’t control, a budget gives restaurant management the framework for the critical financial decisions that can be controlled.
Using Cost Breakdown Structure (CBS)
Cost Breakdown Structure (CBS) is a breakdown of the costs of the various components and elements of the project’s structure including all works or services done by the subcontractors. The CBS is used to continuously check & compare the actual costs with the budget, and integrate them into the cost control management system.
The Cost Breakdown Structure is created based on Centers and Categories. This is a typical Cost Breakdown Structure (CBS).
