Performance Analysis

PERFORMANS ANALİZİ- Şef Ahmet Özdemir

PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS
Performance analysis in hotel and restaurant operations is not only about looking at revenue. Real performance analysis is a professional management system that measures sales, cost, profitability, service speed, kitchen efficiency, staff performance, inventory management, menu strength, guest satisfaction, online reviews, operational flow and brand perception together.
 
A restaurant may be full but not profitable enough. A hotel may operate with high occupancy while its food and beverage department fails to produce the expected revenue. A menu may appear to sell well but may increase the cost of the business. Performance analysis shows the real picture at exactly this point.
 
In our performance analysis consulting service, we build measurable, applicable and result-oriented analysis systems for restaurants, hotel restaurants, resort hotels, à la carte restaurants, high-end restaurants, cafes, coffee shops, fast food operations, banquet operations, VIP organization kitchens and professional food and beverage projects.
 
WHAT IS PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS?
Performance analysis is the process of evaluating how well a business works through numbers, observation, reports and field realities. This analysis is not carried out only to see the past. The main purpose is to clearly reveal where the business is getting stronger, where it is losing money, which processes are slowing down and which decisions will increase profitability.
 
The following questions must be answered in hotel and restaurant performance analysis:
Is the business truly making profit?
Is cost under control while revenue increases?
Which menu items make money for the business?
Which products sell a lot but leave low profit?
Is staff working efficiently?
Is service speed sufficient?
Can the kitchen carry the system during peak hours?
Are inventory and storage managed correctly?
Are purchasing prices controlled?
Is guest satisfaction measured?
Do online reviews support the real quality of the business?
Does management make decisions with the right reports?
 
If these questions have no answer, business performance is being managed by guesswork. Professional businesses are managed not by guesswork, but by data.
 
PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS IN RESTAURANTS
Restaurant performance analysis measures the daily, weekly and monthly working strength of the business. It analyzes not only how much the restaurant sells, but also how those sales are created, which products they come from, at which hours they intensify, with which costs they are produced and how they reflect on guest satisfaction.
 
The main areas evaluated in restaurant performance analysis are:
Daily revenue
Weekly revenue
Monthly revenue
Average check
Number of covers
Table turnover speed
Hourly sales performance
Product-based sales performance
Menu category performance
Food cost percentage
Beverage cost percentage
Staff cost ratio
Inventory turnover speed
Waste and loss ratio
Service speed
Guest complaints
Online review score
Repeat guest rate
 
With restaurant performance analysis, the strengths and weaknesses of the business become clear. It becomes possible to see which product should be highlighted, which product should be removed from the menu, which time period should be strengthened, which staff member needs training and which cost item must be controlled.
 
PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS IN HOTEL OPERATIONS
Performance analysis in hotel operations has a broader scope than in restaurants. Because in a hotel, not only one restaurant is evaluated; breakfast, à la carte restaurant, open buffet, room service, bar, pastry production, banquet, meeting, wedding, VIP invitation, staff meal and different food and beverage departments must be assessed together.
 
In hotel performance analysis, total revenue or occupancy rate alone is not enough. Overnight stays, number of breakfasts, lunch and dinner consumption, room service sales, open buffet waste, banquet revenue, bar performance, staff meal cost and department-based profitability must be read together.
 
The main indicators examined in hotel performance analysis are:
Number of overnight stays
Occupancy rate
Breakfast guest count
Lunch guest count
Dinner guest count
Open buffet cost
Open buffet waste ratio
À la carte restaurant revenue
Room service sales performance
Bar revenue
Banquet and meeting revenue
VIP event performance
Staff meal cost
Department-based food and beverage cost
Consumption per guest
Food and beverage cost per overnight stay
Complaint and satisfaction ratios
 
Through these analyses, hotel management sees how efficiently the food and beverage department actually works. Even if occupancy is high, performance is not strong when cost is uncontrolled. Real success is high occupancy combined with controlled cost and strong guest satisfaction.
 
SALES PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS
Sales performance analysis shows the revenue-generating power of the business. However, looking only at total sales figures is an incomplete evaluation. It is also necessary to examine which products, hours, tables, service staff members and channels create the sales.
 
The headings followed in sales performance analysis are:
Daily sales performance
Weekly sales change
Monthly sales trend
Hourly sales
Product-based sales
Category-based sales
Sales performance of service staff
Revenue by table
Average check
Revenue per cover
Takeaway and delivery revenue
Corporate meal revenue
Private event sales
Reservation conversion rate
 
The purpose of sales performance analysis is not only to see how much was sold. The purpose is to understand the quality of the sale. Because high sales combined with low profit do not provide the expected benefit for the business.
 
MENU PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS
The menu is the most important sales tool of a restaurant and hotel food and beverage operation. Real profitability cannot be seen without menu performance analysis.
 
In menu performance analysis, products are not evaluated only according to sales quantity. Each product’s sales volume, recipe cost, portion cost, selling price, profit ratio, kitchen load, preparation time and guest demand are examined together.
 
In menu performance analysis, products are evaluated as follows:
 
Products that sell well and create high profit
Products that sell well but leave low profit
Products that sell little but create high profit
Products that sell little and leave low profit
Products that carry brand value
Products that slow down kitchen operation
Products that create inventory load
Products that should be removed from the menu
Products that should be made more visible
 
With correct menu performance analysis, the business gains a simpler, more profitable and stronger menu structure.
 
COST PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS
Performance analysis cannot be separated from cost control. Because even if sales performance is high, real profit is not created when cost performance is weak.
 
The headings evaluated in cost performance analysis are:
 
Food cost percentage
Beverage cost percentage
Product-based recipe cost
Portion cost
Waste and loss ratio
Purchasing price differences
Supplier price performance
Storage count differences
Inventory turnover speed
Staff cost ratio
Energy and water expenses
Overhead expense ratios
 
Cost performance analysis shows where the business is losing money. Sometimes the loss comes from expensive products. Sometimes it comes from products that seem cheap but are used in high volume without control. Professional analysis reveals this difference.
 
KITCHEN PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS
Kitchen performance is the heart of restaurant and hotel operations. If the kitchen is slow, service slows down. If the kitchen does not produce with standards, quality decreases. If the kitchen works without planning, cost increases.
 
The following areas are examined in kitchen performance analysis:
 
Production speed
Order preparation time
Peak-hour performance
Mise en place order
Recipe application success
Portion standard
Plate presentation standard
Waste ratio
Product preparation plan
Staff task distribution
Equipment usage efficiency
Kitchen workflow
Product dispatch time to service
 
A business without strong kitchen performance struggles even when sales increase. Therefore, performance analysis must be carried out not only through cash register and reports, but also through observation of the kitchen field.
 
SERVICE PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS
Service performance directly affects guest experience. Good food loses value with weak service. Strong service, when managed correctly, increases sales, guest satisfaction and repeat visit rates.
 
The headings controlled in service performance analysis are:
Greeting quality
Table direction speed
Order-taking time
Service speed
Product recommendation success
Beverage sales performance
Dessert and closing sales
Behavior during complaints
Staff communication language
Table follow-up discipline
Payment process
Farewell standard
 
When service performance is not measured, the business notices the reason for guest loss too late. Performance analysis clarifies the strong and improvable sides of the service team.
 
STAFF PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS
In hotel and restaurant operations, staff performance is not measured only by whether the employee is fast or not. Job knowledge, discipline, hygiene compliance, service language, contribution to sales, teamwork, guest relations and ability to take responsibility must be evaluated together.
 
The headings evaluated in staff performance analysis are:
Compliance with job description
Starting work on time
Service or production speed
Compliance with hygiene rules
Recipe application success
Compliance with portion standard
Guest communication
Contribution to sales
Teamwork
Complaint management
Training need
Manager feedback
 
Correct staff performance analysis does not only show who works well. It also shows who needs training, who needs direction, who may need a change of duty and which department must be strengthened.
 
GUEST SATISFACTION PERFORMANCE
Guest satisfaction is one of the most important result indicators of performance analysis. Because the entire system of the business ultimately reflects on the guest experience.
 
The headings followed in guest satisfaction performance are:
Overall satisfaction rate
Repeat visit rate
Willingness to recommend
Number of complaints
Complaint types
Resolution time
Online review score
Google reviews
Social media comments
Reservation platform reviews
Service satisfaction
Taste satisfaction
Price-value perception
 
Quality cannot be managed without measuring guest satisfaction. Satisfaction data is a strong indicator for understanding the real performance of the business.
 
ONLINE REPUTATION AND DIGITAL PERFORMANCE
Today, hotel and restaurant performance is also measured in the digital world. Google visibility, map score, online reviews, social media engagement, website traffic, reservation conversions and performance on delivery platforms can directly affect business revenue.
 
The headings followed in digital performance analysis are:
Google visibility
Google Maps performance
Number of online reviews
Review score
Social media engagement
Website visits
Reservation conversions
Takeaway and delivery performance
Local search visibility
Brand search volume
Digital campaign results
 
A business with weak digital performance may struggle to gain new guests even if it is strong in the field. Therefore, digital performance is also part of total business performance.
 
REPORTING AND MANAGEMENT DECISIONS
Performance analysis cannot be sustained without reporting. Reports show the past of the business; however, their real value is showing which decisions must be taken for the future.
 
The main performance reports that should be prepared are:
Daily performance report
Weekly performance report
Monthly performance report
Sales performance report
Menu performance report
Cost performance report
Kitchen performance report
Service performance report
Staff performance report
Guest satisfaction report
Online review report
Inventory and storage performance report
Purchasing performance report
Department-based performance report
 
When these reports are interpreted correctly, management does not only see the problems; it also sees the solutions.
 
HOW IS PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS DONE?
Professional performance analysis must be carried out in a specific order:
 
Existing data is collected
Sales reports are examined
Cost reports are checked
Menu performance is analyzed
Inventory and storage movements are evaluated
Kitchen and service fields are observed
Staff performance is measured
Guest feedback is examined
Online reviews are analyzed
Department-based strong and weak areas are identified
Improvement plan is prepared
Follow-up reports are created
 
The purpose of this process is not only to analyze. The purpose is to produce applicable decisions that make the business work in a more controlled, faster, higher-quality and more profitable way.
 
PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS CONSULTING
In our performance analysis consulting service, the current working order of the business is examined from every angle. Not only the reports of the restaurant or hotel operation, but also the real workflow in the field is evaluated.
 
Within this scope, we provide consulting in the following areas:
Restaurant performance analysis
Hotel performance analysis
Food and beverage department performance
Menu performance analysis
Sales performance analysis
Cost performance analysis
Kitchen performance analysis
Service performance analysis
Staff performance analysis
Guest satisfaction analysis
Online reputation analysis
Department-based performance reports
Operation improvement plan
Profitable growth strategy
 
This work is important not only for existing businesses, but also for newly opened restaurants and hotels. Because if performance is not measured regularly after opening, mistakes grow, cost increases and quality weakens.
 
PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS WITH CHEF AHMET ÖZDEMİR
Chef Ahmet Özdemir’s performance analysis approach evaluates kitchen, service, menu, cost, staff, quality, guest experience, digital visibility and operation management together. Because performance in food and beverage operations cannot be explained with a single number.
 
The purpose is to clearly reveal what hotel and restaurant operations do correctly, where they struggle, which products make money, which expenses create loss, which department must be strengthened and which decisions can make the business more profitable.
 
CONCLUSION
Performance analysis is a powerful management tool that shows the real condition of hotel and restaurant operations. Revenue alone is not an indicator of success. Real success is created through controlled cost, a strong menu, fast service, efficient kitchen, trained staff, satisfied guests, high quality and sustainable profitability.
 
Successful businesses do not only operate; they measure how they operate. They do not only sell; they know which sale brings profit. They do not only welcome guests; they analyze why the guest returns or why the guest does not return.
 
If you want to build a strong performance system in your hotel or restaurant operation, all data and field realities must be evaluated together. Because performance that is not measured cannot be improved. Performance that is not improved turns into cost, quality and revenue loss over time.
