F & B : COST CONTROLS

SUPER-SAVER STRATEGIES

What is the single biggest lesson those working on the ground in hotel F & B have learned about controlling costs ? Here is a sampling of answers :
“ The only way to control cost in a strict way is to have standardized recipes .”
– JAVIER PEREZ RUBIO , ST . REGIS MEXICO CITY
“ Different situations present themselves everyday — from guests with special needs to the guest who is allergic . The lesson we learn is to always have broad vision and adaptability . We cannot confine ourselves to cold numbers and stop thinking of our guests .”
– MARTIN VAZQUEZ , LIVE AQUA CANCUN
“ It is very important to secure several suppliers for the same ingredient . Having a network of vendors allows us to ensure that both costs and quality are consistently at their best .”
– MASATOSHI SAITO , PALACE HOTEL TOKYO
“ Any cost-control procedure has to be simple and easily applied . Cost control can never be more costly than the benefit it can bring .”
– CARLES MADRENAS , RIU HOTELS & RESORTS
“ Understand your guests . If you don ’ t understand what your guest is going to want and what their buying habits are , it doesn ’ t matter how effective you are in breaking down product and purchasing right .”
– PATRICK CHIAPPETTA , DENIHAN HOSPITALITY GROUP
“ Controlling costs has to be a team effort . Wherever there is a product , there is a cost attached to it , and wasting it is money down the drain .”
