Keep Your Pizzeria Profitable with Portion Control
Portion control used to be the difference between making money and making a lot of money. Now, it can be the difference between staying in business and going out of business.
Portion control will:
- Save you money by not overusing product
- Make your product more consistent for customers
- Make it easier to train your staff
- Allow for growth of your operation
How does portion control impact consistency?
- Portioning out all items in your pizzeria means every item will be the same
- It removes the guesswork and helps employees with established standards.
- Portion control also helps limit under-portioning—which can be even worse than over-portioning, as you could lose customers.
How does portion control affect training?
- Your staff members will succeed if you give them the information they need.
- Include portion charts in your training program and recipe books.
- Tie employee pay to their ability to memorize portion charts.
- Your process should be so detailed that a day-one trainee could make a pizza with little further instruction. The trainee can refer to the charts before asking for help.
