Understanding & Working with Food Costing

Do you ever wonder why there are so many financials reporting statements? And more importantly would you like to know how to use them rather than be baffled by them?

If any of that rings true for you then please join us for the mystery clarifying seminar so that you can use financial statements to make your life easier and your business better.

This session will teach you the food costing basics, but the real magic is understanding how to use it to make your business thrive, even when ingredient prices change.
