as I'm a HRM Management and I do follow with the Organization structure with respect for each other department and willing to give a hand for any support, although work with responsibility for my jobs and my teams as a FOOD & BEVERAGE DEPARTMENT.
But in a same time I just wonder I always control our F&B cost with I didn't get responsibility for Kitchen's teams, according to Policy and SOP's. The Chef must discuss all the menu with the F&B Manager (Organizational Structure) I trust as they are a CHEF'S,
but my jobs I have to control my budget as well. So, I have been spot check and found something was not correct. I did the internal memo for investigate but its seem to be ignore by HRM teams.
Yesterday, it's very good business for Lunch and Dinner we got two tables for booking with 18 people, Chef sent out the menu to the clients on 7/8/15 without discuss for the cost.
I found out that from the menu what chef gave out cannot sales for prices 6,500 nets (5,522.51) per table with chef also complimentary a plate of seasonal mixed fruit for all them. Our cost was very high for this set menu over 60% food cost.
(please find the attached menu from the chef and recipes with pictures of food.)
I always aware what we order that we not over stock, regarding for the waste bin and kitchen utensils from Metro it had been discussed by the chef.
By the way, lets me clarified this case because the "proactive" much to find work "proactive" is considered the characteristics of the people who work proactively. We like the ideas of planning ahead always, including missed problem or difficulties that may arise in advance without waiting for a problem.
I believed leadership has an awareness of the goals and pursuing success (sense of purpose & direction), have assessed our self without taking what people say or heard emotional, accept and truly understand our SOP's and respects people.
