Running multiple outlets can feel like running multiple mini-businesses — each with its own staff, supplier relationships, and rhythms of busy days. But for F&B owners, the key question isn’t how each store performs in isolation, but how they perform in comparison. Fairly comparing stores each week gives clarity on what’s working, what’s slipping, and where to focus next.
Here’s how successful multi-outlet F&B owners create a simple weekly routine for fair comparison — powered by automation from ccMonet.
It sounds obvious, but many owners skip this. Pick one day each week — often Sunday night or Monday morning — to close the week across all outlets.
This ensures every store’s data covers the same number of operating days and makes metrics comparable.
With ccMonet’s AI Bookkeeping, all sales and expense data update automatically throughout the week, so your cutoff doesn’t depend on anyone manually closing files.
One outlet might log “delivery packaging” under operations, while another records it under “supplies.” Those small differences make comparisons meaningless.
AI automation standardises this instantly. ccMonet automatically classifies bills and invoices under consistent categories — from ingredients to utilities — regardless of who uploads them. That means your cost data stays apples-to-apples across all outlets.
You don’t need a 12-page report to compare performance. Focus weekly on these three metrics:
ccMonet’s AI Insights turns daily transactions into live dashboards, so these numbers are ready when you are — without waiting for month-end reports.
Supplier pricing can vary subtly across locations. Comparing weekly vendor totals helps catch hidden cost differences early.
With ccMonet, you can instantly view supplier spend per outlet, spotting if one branch is paying higher prices for the same goods. It’s an easy way to ensure consistent procurement discipline.
Data alone can mislead if you don’t consider real-world factors — a staff shortage, renovation week, or delivery platform outage.
During your weekly review, note one or two key operational highlights per outlet. This adds context to the financials and helps identify whether margin dips are structural or temporary.
A fair, weekly comparison shouldn’t become another heavy reporting task. Automate what you can, keep the review light, and make it a routine — not a project.
With ccMonet, all data entry, categorisation, and reconciliation happen in the background. You just review clean, consistent numbers and make better calls.
When every outlet speaks the same financial language, comparisons become fair — and decisions become faster. The best-performing F&B groups in Singapore don’t just review sales; they review cost integrity and operational efficiency week by week.
ccMonet makes that possible — unifying data from all stores, keeping numbers accurate, and giving owners the clarity to act decisively.
Start your next Monday with real visibility — and never compare apples to durians again.
