What are the benefits of using this template?

When, for example, the price or the weight of a block of cheese changes, simply add the new price or weight, and the template will automatically recalculate the cost per portion of the cheese and the total cost of the final plate. - Experiment:
Are you trying to cut costs by considering different brands of items or by altering the ingredients in a recipe? Use the template to swap out the cost of potential alternatives and see immediately, the impact the change will have on your bottom line. - Plan:
If you are considering new menu items, you can use the template to ensure the new dishes will not take your total food bill over the critical 30% of your total costs mark.
