Managing Packaging Costs in the COVID-19 Era
In the uncertain times that have occurred as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, one thing is certain for nearly all restaurants, whether they were fortunate enough to stay open throughout the pandemic or reopened at some point since March 2020: increased delivery and carryout orders. As a result, one of the cost categories that restaurant operators are keeping a watchful eye on is their paper and packaging costs.
Several important measures may be enhanced as a result of COVID-19, but an emphasis on evaluating, budgeting and controlling packaging costs should be in place regardless of the economic environment. Although these decisions can vary based on your concept, these considerations, internal controls and best practices can assist you in evaluating optimal packaging costs.
