Track Actual Usage
Record actual daily usage for at least 2 weeks to get accurate averages. Weekend usage often differs from weekdays.
Account for Seasonality
Adjust par levels for seasonal menu items and busy periods like holidays and local events.
Consider Shelf Life
For perishables, balance par levels with shelf life to minimize waste. Don't over-order items that spoil quickly.
Review Regularly
Reassess par levels monthly as menu items change, vendors update lead times, or sales patterns shift.
