Overview

The TvA (Theoretical vs. Actual) Store Summary Reporting is a financial-driven report showing Theoretical Usage cost, Actual Usage cost, and the difference between the two costs as a Variance dollar amount.

In addition to costs associated with ingredients used in menu item recipes, TvA reporting considers all inventoried and distributor items that have a COGS Accounting Category assigned to them.

Features

  • Cost analysis and planning

  • Recipe usage monitoring

  • Store-level oversight

  • In conjunction with other Food Cost reporting, bonuses

Example Scenario


At this store last week, $500.00 worth of Seafood theoretical cost should have been used, based on the Menu Items that were rung in and the Seafood ingredient portions in the recipes. Based on Inventories and Purchases, the actual cost shows that they used $600 worth of Seafood. Drilling into the TvA Store Summary Detail for Recipe Cost, I see that the first ingredient listed, Salmon, has the largest variance (loss).”

After speaking with the store manager, we found that the prep cook was portioning 7oz Salmon Filets instead of 6oz. Since this has been corrected going forward, we should see a smaller variance for Salmon, Seafoods, and Food next week.”

Getting Started

When viewing TvA Store Summary reporting, users are able only to view one store at a time. This report does not provide a rollup for all locations.

Selecting a Store

  1. Select the Company, Region, Area, and/or Store

  2. Choose the Date Range

    1. From date must be an Inventory date

    2. To date must be the last date in the inventory week
      ⭐ This is the date before the next week’s Inventory Date

  3. Select Apply

    1. Users will need to select Apply each time switching dates and/or stores to display accurate information.


The store summary page will display a host of information. Below is an example of what you will see and the definitions and calculations for the columns in the table.

Category

These are the parent COGS Category Sections which break down child COGS Categories that fall into each Section.

COGS structure is configured in COGS Maintenance.

Recipe Cost

Usage of any Ingredient that is flagged for IvA in Ingredient Management.

Menu Mix Recipe Unit Usage x $/Recipe Unit

Example:

Chicken = $0.50/OZ
Sold 10 Chicken Sandwich, 5 OZ portion
50 OZ Recipe Usage = $25.00 (Recipe Cost) Theoretical Usage

Non-Recipe Cost

Usage of any Ingredient that is not flagged for IvA in Ingredient Management, regardless if an ingredient is in a recipe.

Since there is not Recipe Usage, Actual COGS Usage (BI + P - EI) is used. The reporting requires that it meets at least 1 of 3 conditions:

  • existed on an inventory set that the store is assigned to for the date range’s beginning inventory

  • existed on an inventory set that the store is assigned to for the date range’s ending inventory

  • had a distributor item mapped at the time an order was received for it

Example:

  • The ingredient is not marked for IvA, did not exist on an Inventory Set for Beginning Inventory, has $100 Purchases, and has a $25 Ending Inventory

    • $0 + $100 - $25

      • = $75 Actual Usage

      • = $75 (Non-Recipe Cost) Theoretical Usage

Non-Inventoried Purchases

Includes any distributor item received on an order (purchase) that was assigned to a COGS Category, but not assigned to an Ingredient.

Since there is no ingredient to determine Recipe Usage or Inventoried values, the system uses the Purchased value as the (Non-Inventory Cost) Theoretical Usage.

Example:
“I received some cleaning supplies that I don't want to make an ingredient for”

Theoretical COGS

Total Theoretical Cost of Goods Sold per COGS Section or COGS Category

Recipe Cost + Non-Recipe Cost + Non-Inventory Cost = Theoretical Cost of Goods Sold

Actual COGS

Beginning Inventory + Purchases - Ending Inventory = Actual COGS

Includes child COGS Categories that fall under the parent COGS Category Section that have at least one Ingredient or Distributor Item with at least one of the following:

  • Beginning Inventory

  • Purchase

  • Ending Inventory

Sum of Recipe, Non-Recipe, and Non-inventory purchases

(star) The Cost of Goods Sold report does not include purchases seen in this TvA Store Summary’s Non-Inventory Cost section because there is no associated Ingredient. Any differences in Actual COGS (Usage) between the two reports can be accounted for with the purchases in the Non-Inventory Cost section.

Variance

The difference between Actual and Theoretical Cost of Goods Sold

Actual COGS - Theoretical COGS = Variance

Sales

Sales per COGS Section and Category are by assigned POS Admin Department.

Sales are allocated in COGS Maintenance.


Store Summary Detail Views

Store Summary detail views display item details sorted by variance; largest positive (theoretical loss) to largest negative (theoretical growth).

Each view has the option to 🖨 Print the report.

Recipe Cost

Selecting a COGS Section's Recipe Cost value displays each Ingredient’s Theoretical Cost, Actual Cost, Variance of the two in the dollar, and percent amount representative of the COGS Category’s Sales. The Ingredient’s COGS Category groups these.


Non-Recipe Cost

Selecting a COGS Section's Non-Recipe Cost value displays each ingredient’s Actual Cost.

⭐ The cost for Non-Recipe Ingredients uses the Actual Cost. The Ingredient’s COGS Category groups these.


Non-Inventoried Purchases

Selecting a COGS Section's Non-Inventoried Purchases value displays each Distributor Item’s Actual Cost.

⭐ The theoretical cost for Non-Inventoried Purchases shows the Actual Cost (Purchase). The item’s Distributor groups these.


Actual COGS

Selecting a parent COGS Section's Recipe Cost value displays each child-COGS Category’s Theoretical Cost, Actual Cost, Variance of the two in the dollar, and percent amount representative of the COGS Category’s Sales.
