Consumables are a significant element of the cost of running any hotel. Consequently cost management in this area is important to minimize overall costs but also to maintain relative competitiveness. We analyze whether a hotel is achieving optimum prices for the goods it is purchasing and whether these goods are consistent with the positioning of the hotel. We focus particularly on both the high- volume and high-cost items. 

• Analysis of cost of key items purchased and benchmarking against external suppliers (e.g. utility and linen Costs).
• Determining that purchases are suitable for the positioning of the Hotel
• Tendering process
• Summary of contract terms and re-negotiation opportunities
• Analysis of purchasing, quality control and stock delivery procedures
• Stock holding levels
• Automation of units purchased
• Traceability of food products purchased/HCCAP System
• Maintenance contract provisions
• Identification of potential savings
