5 Best Practices to Brewery Control Costs

Cost increases are coming from everywhere these days. 

In today’s post and short video, we’ll focus on 5 Best Practices you can use to control and reduce costs in your brewery.

Use These 5 Best Practices to Control Brewery Costs

1. Create a Financial Road Map
   • Be purposeful with spending – you gotta have a plan.
2. Adopt a Zero Based Budget Mindset
   • Costs must justify themselves – too often, we work to justify reducing the cost. Do the opposite.
3. Review Vendor/Supplier Spending
   • Run a report of L12 month spending. Sort $ high to low. Use this as a checklist of opportunities to reduce expenses.
4. Use Purchase Orders
   • PO’s make it hard to spend money without first justifying the cost. Use them.
5. Set Regular Financial Reviews
   • Monthly variance analysis, trend review, and ratio calculations are essential to controlling costs.
