Theoretical vs. invoice-based food cost. POS sales vs. actual deposits. The recipes in your system vs. what your kitchen actually makes. Fixed fee. If we find nothing, your numbers are clean — that's rare.
One page per gap, one number per line, and a cause you can act on. The whole report is usually under ten pages — because the point is what you do next, not how much we wrote.
Week one: file the app claim, change the six prices, put scoops on the line. Still missing: 7 supplier invoices, 1 payout statement.
Each gap as an AED amount, with the cause classified: data entry, master data, unbilled charge, missing document, or process.
Which invoices, payouts and statements we used — and which were missing. Missing documents are usually where the money went.
What to correct, in what order, and who has to do it. Written so your manager can start on Monday.
| Gap | What we compare | What it usually reveals |
|---|---|---|
| Food cost | Theoretical cost from POS recipes vs. actual purchases from supplier invoices | Recipes never updated, prices that moved, waste and theft you can't see |
| Cash | POS sales by channel vs. aggregator payouts vs. bank deposits | Commission rates that don't match the contract, refunds, unpaid periods |
| Recipes | What the system says a dish costs vs. what the kitchen actually puts on the plate | Portion drift, substituted ingredients, items with no recipe at all |
The audit ends with a number. The fix is a 4–6 week project to close it: recipe and master cleanup, portion standards, purchasing rules, aggregator contract check, a counting rhythm the team actually keeps, and a menu engineering pass if margins are the problem.
Scoped per store from the audit findings. Most fixes pay for themselves inside the first quarter.
