At a place I took over 20 or so years ago on base with pizza on the menu the area manager wanted me to fire and hire a whole new staff after I was there a short time because he thought they were stealing/giving away food due to food costs being double what they should have been.

I created a spreadsheet that mapped out the exact amount of ingredients we should have gone through for each menu item and manually entered 6 months or so of sales.

Turned out they used a few too many hamburgers and hotdogs (as in a handful total over those months) and exactly double the shredded cheese and French fries because of wrong sized portion baskets and eyeballing.

Something that was the previous managers fault, not the staff.

New containers and a pizza scale solved the problem and I had a very loyal staff as they eventually found out what almost happened.

So while I generally agree, sometimes there really is such a thing as too much cheese 😄

That only works when you ignore the actual profit margins on a pizza. $20 for around $1-4 worth of ingredients. Your boss needs to shut his pie hole too! ADD ALL THE CHEESE!
