A purchase report will be printed and a letter of validation will be attached, along with a coupon from the vendor. These three items will be assembled and will be hand delivered by your sales representative. After the forms are signed and mailed in by the customer, a check for the amount of the refund will be mailed directly to the customer.
Food Shows
Quandt’s hosts 2 major food shows and atleast 2 smaller segmented shows each year. Each food show offers our customers the opportunity to meet with our vendors, see what is new in the food service industry, and place future orders in a relaxed environment.
Quarterly Reviews
In order to keep our business strong and profitable together, we will predetermine quarterly reviews. During these reviews, we will discuss menu changes, volume items, deliveries, pricing, ordering procedures and new items.
Reports
There are two different kinds of reports monthly and quarterly reports. Here are some examples of our reports. Descending Sales Dollar Report (by chain or by customer), tracks product usage based on sales dollars. Usage by Customer/Vendor is a sales descending report. This tracks all products usage grouped by vendor. Usage by Chain Report is in item detail. This has three different purposes, tracking all items purchased, date of purchase, invoice number.

Service That Sells
To start you must know how to build your customer checks. All of your employees should know about the menu items they are trying to sell. Employees should know how to sell the different areas on the menu, for example using dessert trays for eye appeal. Good service sequence is a vital part of having service that sells. There are seven basic steps of service. Following these steps will organize the servers’ service so that they may properly attend several tables at one time. When creating your menu you should use picture words to describe all of your food and drink items. Remember that promotions will help increase your sales.
Menu Design
A menu is a reflection of the restaurant in the market place. Knowing what kind of menu you want is very important. The menu is the core of the operation. It is very important to keep your menu updated, create new menu choices, and look at the menu as an income producing asset. A menu profit analysis should be performed to optimize profits. Recipe costing is an important factor when menus are being planned. Make sure to avoid the pitfalls when designing your menu. Knowing the three elements for designing menus will be very helpful. These include placement, description and graphics, and lastly pricing. Using our price changes techniques will help to increase your business’s profits.
