Where Costs Hide

Labor Waste: manual order taking averages 3 minutes per round trip. At 200 orders/day = 10 hours daily wasted walking time = 1-1.5 FTE (4,000-6,000 RMB/month). Order Errors: industry average 5-8% error rate. Each error costs 30-80 RMB. At 200 orders/day with 6% errors = 360-960 RMB/day waste. Inventory Shrinkage: without tracking, typical 3-5% of food cost disappears. For 200k monthly food cost = 6,000-10,000 RMB/month lost.
