FAQs

  • What is COGS-Well, and how can it help my restaurant?
    COGS-Well is an inventory, recipe, and cost management software that helps restaurants and bars increase control, efficiency, and profit. COGS-Well is easier, faster, less expensive, and more accurate than other inventory systems because we do the inventory item setup and ongoing maintenance for you.
  • How is COGS-Well different from other inventory management systems?
    Unlike other systems, COGS-Well simplifies inventory management by setting up and maintaining your inventory database for you. The setup is complete in just a few days, not weeks or months like the alternatives. This service saves you time and ensures your data is accurate from the start.
  • What outcomes can I expect from using COGS-Well?
    Our software increases control and accuracy while freeing up your managers by eliminating manual processes like filing invoices and tracking inventory on spreadsheets. Many customers report improved efficiency, reduced food costs, and better insights into their menu profitability.
  • How does COGS-Well save me time?
    COGS-Well automates invoice processing for managers and accounting staff. It also makes counting and valuing inventory easier, faster, and more accurate. Costing out recipes is much easier and faster in COGS-Well than by hand or via a spreadsheet. Adjusting journal entries for accounting are automated and will no longer need to be made manually.
  • Can COGS-Well help me isolate problems?
    Yes! By identifying variances between actual and theoretical inventory costs and usage, COGS-Well pinpoints items with variances due to problems like waste, over-portioning, or theft so you can take corrective action. COGS-Well will also help you better evaluate and manage your menu item recipes and pricing.
  • How does COGS-Well help with recipe management?
    Our software makes creating recipes easy via ingredient search/add and flexible recipe units. Once created, recipe costs will always stay up to date. You can also “model” menu item recipes for target pricing, cost percentage, or profit level.
  • How does COGS-Well improve menu profitability?
    By combining a menu item’s profit with its popularity, COGS-Well will tell you which menu items are the most profitable (stars) and which ones are not (dogs). COGS-Well will also help you isolate a menu item’s most expensive ingredients and their cost trends.
  • Is COGS-Well difficult to set up or maintain?
    No. COGS-Well makes inventory setup and maintenance easy by doing the initial setup and the ongoing management of your inventory item database for you. These two time-saving and accuracy-increasing services are only available from COGS-Well. Additionally, once you create all your recipes within COGS-Well, you can easily scale these recipes, track waste, and use our modeling feature to achieve your sales targets.
