How The Home Cooking Wood controls cost per event for catering
A wood-fired catering service that needed to know what each event cost. With Guava, every job has its own P&L.
Every event was different and I didn't know if I was making money or losing it.
Events with no cost control
{ "Every catering event was different": "different menus, quantities and ingredients. There was no way to know the real profit on each one." }
Quotes were done by feel, with no up-to-date real costs.
"Every event was different and I didn't know if I was making money or losing it."
