Yield percentage is the total amount of food that is edible divided by the original as-purchased cost, expressed as a percentage. Shrinkage is the amount of food that is lost due to spoilage, theft, breakage, or other factors. Costing is the process of determining what it costs to produce a product, including the cost of labor, supplies, overhead, and other expenses. Fixed cost is a cost that does not change regardless of how many products are produced. Variable cost is a cost that fluctuates with the production of a product. Par stock is the minimum amount of food that should be on hand in order to meet customer demand. Requisition is the ordering of food from a supplier. Obsolescence is the amount of food that is not used due to expiration, spoilage, or other causes.
