I read your posts and both smiled and frowned. Being a bastard brings you no more authority it just makes you a bastard. Bring on the heart attack, raise that blood pressure etc. While many of your thoughts and ideas have merit ultimetly, it's your bosses place, money etc. In taking a snap shot inventory/foodcost they find they are in a range they are comfortable with. If a large problem arose maybe then they would do a full inventory. Who knows. I'll do over 1mil. this year in F&B and use 1 major purveyor. I don't have time to check prices every week. That is not to say that I don't. I have a good understanding w/ my supplier,They will make alot more money off me over 20 yrs than they will by trying to nickle and dime me. It truely seems to me that the biggest problem is communication. Maybe you haven't been there long enough for them to be truely comfortable w/ you yet. I don't know. Maybe they have a deal w/ the supplier maybe the min. order from the other company is to high. Maybe they get better terms from their supplier who knows.
Life is too short to be unhappy, unfulfilled. A job is just that a job. Change is hard for alot of people and sometimes the ideas need to stew for a while to make sence. I always respond better when an idea can be presented in a way that proves what's in it for me. Not just added paper work. what are the benefits and how is it going to make me money.
Good luck to you. Mike
P.S. I liked the call out of your fellow posters... made me smile
