Projected Consumption
When a user clicks the Projected Consumption button, the application will open a pop-up window in which the user can view a report displaying projected consumption per day and daypart for eligible Daily Prep recipes. (This button is not available in aggregating locations and/or if Projected Consumption values are being imported.)
The application will use the historical Menu Mix sales, Buffet Consumption data, and/or Menu Planner data (all as applicable) for the recipes to calculate the projected consumption values. If the transaction includes linked catering orders, these will be factored in as well.
Notes: When a Daily Prep transaction only includes linked Catering Orders, it will ignore the following parameters when calculating Projected Consumption: "Projected Consumption includes Min Par", "Include Min Par when Proj Cons > 0", and "Set Sugg. Prod. less than Min Par to Min Par".
- If necessary, filter the list using one or more of the following options, then click Retrieve.
- Filter By Daypart – Filter the Projected Consumption columns down to the column(s) associated with a single Daypart. {Note}
- Filter By Prep Station – Includes all Prep Stations associated with at least one Recipe in the current Daily Prep transaction.
- Filter By Template – Select a template to display only the recipes linked to that template. <Tip>
- Summarize By – Defaults to 'Daypart'; if set to 'Hour', columns for each hour will be displayed in the right-hand portion of the screen, grouped by daypart.
- Exclude Recipes with Proj. Cons. = 0 – If checked, only recipes with a Projected Consumption > 0 will be displayed.
- Or use the Funnel (Filters) icon to Filter By Category or any of the report columns.
Note: Unless sorting by template sequence, users can click any column header to sort by the data in that column.
- To download and print the report, click the Printer (Export) icon.
- When finished, click the X (Close) icon to close the window.
