Variance Analysis
We conduct detailed cost variance studies comparing theoretical versus actual performance in food, labor, and controllable expenses. This analysis identifies operational inefficiencies and loss points across departments and units.
Sales and Labor Forecasting Strategies
TRIS designs data-driven labor forecasting models linked to historical sales patterns, demand drivers, and seasonality. Forecasts inform optimized staffing schedules and prep labor alignment to reduce overages and control labor percentage of sales.
POS Evaluations
We evaluate POS system capabilities and configuration for data capture quality, reporting accuracy, and alignment with operational workflows. Recommendations include system optimization, modular enhancements, and user permission calibration.
Tech Stack Ideation and Integration
We assess current systems architecture and propose integrated platform solutions across POS, payroll, inventory, and analytics. Implementation plans prioritize system interoperability, data centralization, and future scalability.
Menu Engineering
We apply contribution margin and sales mix analysis to evaluate item performance. Low-margin items are flagged for revision or removal, while high-margin drivers are prioritized for visibility and upsell strategies.
Recipe Costing Solutions
TRIS builds precise cost models at the recipe and batch level, accounting for yield loss, shrinkage, and price fluctuations. Results are mapped into operational KPIs for cost of goods sold management and menu profitability tracking.
