Who Purchases? continued
The buyer is responsible for ensuring that quality standards are met during the purchasing and delivery process.
OH 5-6
What to Buy
Avoid buying the “cheapest.”
Use purchase specifications.
Buy at the best cost from sellers who meet or exceed the purchase specifications.
Consider both AP price and EP cost.
OH 5-7
Two Kinds of Costs
As purchased (AP)—the cost of food as delivered to the restaurant
Edible portion (EP)—the cost of food as served to the guest

AP vs. EP Form
Items, such as fresh whole fish, will weigh much less in their EP form than in their AP form.
OH 5-9
Calculating EP Cost
Two steps
Step 1 – Calculate product’s yield percentage.
Edible portion (EPQ) weight
÷ As purchased (APQ) weight
= Yield percentage
8.00 ÷ 9.5
=
0.842 or 84.2%
OH 5-10
Calculating EP Cost continued
Step 2 – Calculate EP cost.
Example—the EP cost of one pound of onions
As purchased (AP) Cost
÷ Yield percentage
= Edible portion (EP) cost
$0.39/lb AP ÷ 0.842
=
$0.46/lb EP

Product Specifications
If you were the purchasing agent what questions might you have about this recipe?

1 prepared lemon pound cake, sliced
1/4 cup lemon or orange liqueur (optional)

The Product Specification
Is a control device
Lists the product’s name
Lists its intended use
Identifies the desired brand and grade
Identifies the desired size
Identifies the desired variety
Identifies packing requirements
Details delivery requirements
Explains payment terms

The Product Specification continued
Specifications should describe exactly what buyers want to buy.
Product substitutions identify what is “acceptable” to send if a vendor is out of or short on the product ordered.
OH 5-15
When to Buy
Purchase perishable items daily or every few days.
Purchase nonperishable items weekly or monthly.
OH 5-16
Determining Product Usage
1. Determine the amount of product that will be used between deliveries.
2. Count what is on hand.
3. Subtract the amount on hand from the amount that will be used.
4. The result is the amount to purchase.

Establishing Par Levels
Steps
1. Determine the amount of time between deliveries.
2. Determine the estimated amount used during this period.
3. Add a safety factor (cushion) to cover unexpected
changes in volume or availability
4. Add the estimated amount of product used and the
safety factor together to get the par stock.
5. Set par levels for all ingredients and supplies and adjust
by season.
6. Include the par level numbers on the order guide and
place labels on storeroom shelf

Example Par Sheet
OH 5-19
Calculating How Much to Buy – Par Stock
Amount to Purchase
Determine your par stock (includes safety factor)
Consider Current Inventory and Usage before Delivery
Par stock - Inventory + Usage before Delivery
= Amount to Purchase

Calculating How Much to Buy – Yield %
Need ten pounds of green onions.
Yield percentage of green onions is 84.2%.
How many pounds will you buy?
EPQ (amount needed)
÷ Yield percentage
= APQ (amount to purchase)
10 ÷ 0.842
=
OH 5-22
Calculating How Much to Buy – Catering
Step 1 – Determine the servings per purchasing unit (SPU).
Purchasing unit
÷ Portion size = Servings per purchasing unit (SPU)
OH 5-23
Catering Purchases, continued
Step 2 – Determine the purchase factor.
Recall the formula for EP percentage.
SPU x EP percentage
= Purchase factor (PF)
Edible portion (EP) weight
÷ As purchased (AP) weight
= EP percentage
