It's the start of a new semester and everyone is excited about new classes, new friends and new activities.

Beverage Inventory Turnover Rate
Posted on March 7, 2008 at 8:10am 0 Comments 0 Likes
I have a question for eveyone. A colleague and I have been doing some research in the area of inventory turnover rates for restaurants and clubs. We have not been able to uncover any numbers for a good average beverage turnover rate. Our research has come up with a number between 2.4 and 4.8 (annually) for some clubs we surveyed. That number sounds low to us and likely is due to higher than normal wine inventories. My question is does anyone have a figure, set of figures or a rule of thumb for… Continue

Hello Jeff,
I would like to personally invite you to my site...YouGottaMenu.com!! Its a place where you can advertise your business, promote your special events & invite your customers there to blog about food related events. You customers will also be able to exchange recipes, join groups and interact with other food customers from around the world!! It's a different concept, but I think that's the draw. I am very excited about the future of this site. My company (Goins Enterprises) is currently launching a national campaign to promote this website. We feel that as we are promoting nationally, our members should promote to their own customers. I think that this site will give "Ellen Giminski" of Denver, the opportunity to experience your establishment & browse your menu and pictures. This will entice Mrs. Giminski to visit your establishment during her next trip.
We have also designated a place on the Home Page where we will doing "Close Ups" on Restaurants, Chefs & Special Events. Please stop by and take a look. I would love to create a page on our site representing your establishment. All I would need is an email address and a current web address (for pictures and Content). Please contact me with any comments or constructive criticisms.
Thanks for your time and I look forward to hearing from you
