Portion Control Matters!

Portion control matters. Whether it’s measured shots for cold drinks or weighed avocado sides, standardising portion sizes in your cafe is critical for two main reasons: product consistency, and controlling costs.

If you’re not arming your staff with exact recipes and preparation measurements then you’re failing to provide the tools they need to deliver your product consistently and save you money.

By prioritising portion sizes, you create a system which safeguards against incorrect preparation methods and over use of stock, which is one of the main causes of blowing out your profit margins per plate or beverage.

In conclusion, standardising portion sizes is a non-negotiable for running a successful cafe. By implementing precise measurements and clear recipes, you empower your staff to deliver consistent quality that keeps customers returning whilst protecting your bottom line.

Tight portion control prevents profit erosion from over-serving. Ultimately, it’s a simple yet powerful strategy.
