Several factors have contributed to today’s rising food costs, including increased inflation and continued global and national supply chain difficulties. In light of these challenges, Chick-fil-A, Inc. has created the D.R.I.P. model, encouraging Operators to hyper-focus on four key areas of the Restaurant: deliveries, registers, inventory and prep. Operators can reduce cost pressures and minimize food waste by using this model.

• Identifies food cost opportunities and subcategories which may benefit from focused attention

• The Target Food Cost Report can be found in Report Galleries.

• The top of the report has several calculations: Actual Food Cost, Target Food Cost, Net Gap, and Positive Gap

The Inventory Activity Report is a tool used to monitor the movement of inventory in the Restaurant between two points in time. The report compares inventory counts to items entered in the POS.
