Supplier Price Tracker
Twelve watched ingredients, quarter against quarter, each rise weighted by usage, so margin erosion is visible before the accounts say so.

Who this workbook is for
Anyone who finds out about price rises at year end
Margin erosion arrives on invoices, not announcements: 40p on the beef here, £1.60 on the butter there, none of it worth a phone call on its own. The demo quarter’s dozen quiet rises add up to £2,458 a year, and the tracker prices each one the day the new price file lands rather than the month the accountant asks what happened to the margin.
Anyone who reacts to rises menu-wide
Weighting each rise by weekly usage puts the biggest number first, and the response is chosen dish by dish, not across the board: re-price where the market will wear it, re-portion where it will not, re-spec where the ingredient can change without the dish changing. The Menu Price and GP Calculator prices whichever fix you pick.
Anyone who wants the damage in GP points
The sheet’s last line converts the quarter’s rises into the GP points they consume, about a quarter of a point on the demo venue, which is the number that makes the reprice conversation concrete. A rise you catch in week one is a menu decision; in month ten it is a bad year.
