The overall score attributable to the scoreboard: 64% (58% in 2017)

1. The efficiency of the procurement process: price comparisons, purchasing mechanics,
quality and quantity control, allocation in units, returns, inventories – 75% (70%)
2. The degree of standardization of recipes: recipe directory, declination of ingredient / food
quantities by production, cooking time, preservation method – 60% (55%)
3. The level of control of production, distribution and returns: quantity produced vs.
quantity delivered, templates and portioning, sales, returns, reused food – 65% (55%)
4. The availability / quality of loss management tools: history of production and sales,
conservation standards by type of food, loss record, disposal routine (Tablée des Chefs) -
50% (50%)
5. The accuracy of transactions at the checkout – 70% (65%)
• NB: The 3rd process counts for 40% on the overall score and each of the other
four for 15%
