Operating Expenses = "Fixed Expenses" Cost of Goods Sold = "Varible Expenses" Variable expenses are the direct expenses, increase/decrease; directly related with volume of sales of product.
@muttbasketball We don't call items such rent, office supplies, utilities, insurance, payroll, etc, as "variable". Even though they can fluctuate in dollar amount, we call overhead "fixed" expenses because they exist regardless of whether we generate revenues or not. Conversely, Cost of Goods Sold are considered "variable" expenses because they fluctuate depending on the demand, and they directly impact revenues in a variable way. They only exist if there are direct sales.
Will there be a free trial period for "Bacon"? I'm not a restaurant owner but as an accounting student I'm very interested in seeing how the algorithm works for inventory.
I am NOT a CPA or good at accounting; but, I will give this a shot. Anything you put together to make and deliver the burger that a customer gets a receipt for, in my opinion, is CoGS. This includes the napkins, and extra ketchup packets the customer has paid for the privilege to take. The cost of cleaning and buying serving trays you serve the food on could be Direct Operating Expenses. The customer did not buy the tray. They give it back. So when you bought trays to serve food its cost could be considered an asset or expense. Cleaning supplies are pretty black and white. The customer is not buying cleaning services, they are buying food.
Restaurant financials are hard until they aren't. LOL! Just takes some studying and a lot of practice. This is why I created clickBACON (clickBACON.com) to help restaurant owners get control of their food, labor and beverage costs.
Thank you Rayan for your valuable illustration of what is a Direct Operating Expenses. However your stating that a CoGS formula should be "sales price/purchase price", shouldn't it be opposite ? Thanks for confirming & looking forward for your upcoming videos 🙏🏼
do you have any video's that how how you can figure out how much you should charge for each menu item? I have heard that you figure out how many burgers are in a box, take that number and then times it by 3... and then go from there. If that makes sense..........
That kind of makes sense, but not really. Basically, cost your dish out with everything, then you can multiple by cost by 3 or 4 (that is how you get a 25% to 33% food cost. However, I do the opposite. You know what your customer will pay for an item, so go the other way. Determine where you want to be on cost, then find the portion and quality that is the BEST for what you can charge.

THANK YOU! This is exactly what I needed to sort out COGS and Direct Operating Expenses.
You are very welcome.
Thank you for the info. So in renovations a bathroom, COGS would be toilets, flooring, paint, drywall, etc? DOEs would be tools and safety ?
I am sorry, I don't follow at all?
You mentioned direct operating costs should be 4-8%. (4-8% of what please? Of total gross sales?) Thanks so much..
Yep, total sales but not gross, next sales without sales tax.
Will there be a free trial period for "Bacon"? I'm not a restaurant owner but as an accounting student I'm very interested in seeing how the algorithm works for inventory.
Currently there is not a free trial offer but there is a 60 day satisfaction guarantee.
Many thanks.
Great work.

Is city permit for a customer in constraction company COGS or billable expense?
It's a direct operating expense.
Sir COGS include packing materials purchased? Like cake box
Thank you Rayan for your valuable illustration of what is a Direct Operating Expenses.
However your stating that a CoGS formula should be "sales price/purchase price", shouldn't it be opposite ?
Thanks for confirming & looking forward for your upcoming videos 🙏🏼
Yes, it should be Purchases / Sales (x100 to get the percentage).
do you have any video's that how how you can figure out how much you should charge for each menu item? I have heard that you figure out how many burgers are in a box, take that number and then times it by 3... and then go from there. If that makes sense..........

Hi! thanks a lot for your great vids!!!, I have a question, where do I put things like gas, or rent? are they considered as vendors?
They are vendors but they are not Cost of Goods Sold. They are just expenses.
They are vendors, but they are NOT part of CoGS or DOE, they are just expenses.
How to control direct food cost without compromising the quality ?,,,thanks
It's all about negotiating the best prices with your vendors and choosing where you can compromise a little over areas that you cannot.
