Methodology & Sources
- Recipe & Portion Variance (9.3% of COGS) - Derived from NRA Restaurant Industry Operations Report and USDA Economic Research Service data on uncontrolled recipe drift and over-portioning in multi-unit foodservice operations. Validated against Craftable customer baseline audits.
- Waste & Over-Ordering (6.3% of COGS) - Based on ReFED U.S. Food Waste Landscape (2021) and Cornell Center for Hospitality Research findings on preventable spoilage and over-purchasing in full-service and limited-service restaurant groups.
- Invoice Discrepancies (2.5% of COGS) - IOFM (Institute of Finance & Management) AP benchmarking studies report vendor billing error and unapproved price-change rates of 2–3% of total payables in foodservice; Craftable data centers at 2.5% for operators without automated invoice matching.
- AP Processing Labor ($9/invoice √ó 9 min) - APQC Accounts Payable Benchmarking Report median cost-per-invoice for manual processing in hospitality; assumes 50% of labor time is recoverable with automation. Invoice count provided by operator.
- Finance Close Acceleration ($1,200/day) - Estimated opportunity cost of delayed financial visibility, based on industry CFO survey data (Deloitte CFO Signals) and Craftable operator interviews. Applied to days saved versus the T-3 close benchmark.
