Why is Pier 9 Seafood’s food cost up 6 points in June?
Read 1,846 June transactions
Pulled Toast POS daily summaries
Compared against the trailing 3 months
Food cost ran 34.1% of sales in June, vs. a 28.2% three-month average. Two things moved it:
1. Seafood pricing — the Sysco fish line rose 19% after the June 12 price update ($6,400 of the swing). 2. A produce delivery on June 21 was received twice but only sold once; $1,180 is sitting in inventory, not COGS.
Net of the duplicate, true food cost is ~31.8%. I parked the $1,180 to a holding account with a memo so the P&L isn’t overstated. Want me to draft a vendor credit request?
Yes, draft it.
Vendor credit request — Tovar LogisticsDraft
Requesting a credit for a duplicate produce delivery received June 21 (invoice #TL-4471). Goods were billed twice; one shipment remains in inventory. Credit due: $1,180.00. Reconciled against the June 21 receiving log and Toast POS sales.

Growing a book used to mean hiring or outsourcing. Bursar is the capacity of a production team, without the payroll or the handoffs.
Hiring
A six-month search, a loaded salary, and the risk they walk in eighteen months.
Outsourcing
Cheap hours overseas, slow turnarounds, and a team that never learns your clients.

Bursar, n. - the keeper of an institution’s accounts
Every institution once kept a bursar - the officer trusted to know exactly where the books stood.
For five hundred years the bursar was a person who kept the ledgers and closed the months. Bursar is that office rebuilt as AI. It reads every transaction the night it appears, chases what is missing, and reconciles to the penny while a human expert verifies every file. It never sleeps and never falls behind. Your firm’s month runs on autopilot.
The work is older than software. We just made it tireless.
