The approach continues with (4) selecting the best solution, (5) developing an action plan, (6) implementing the plan, (7) evaluating the results of the plan and ( documenting the problem and solution for future reference.

Answer to Question 2

The formula used to calculate a beverage cost percentage is as follows:
Beverage cost of goods sold  Beverage revenue = Beverage cost percentage
Beverage costs that are below pre-established targets may indicate customers are not receiving the intended value. Beverage cost percentages that are too high may indicate product or revenue control issues managers should address. A beverage cost percentage is one measure of a manager's effectiveness in controlling beverage production costs.
