Profit and Loss Statement Nutrition Services is a self-supporting

operation. It is important to review your profit and loss

statement monthly. Share this statement with your employees. Every manager is expected to break even –

at a minimum.

5

Profit and Loss Statement cont…

• If your net income is negative, try to think of changes that can be made to increase profits. Two areas you have control of are:

• Labor• Waste

6

GROSS PROFIT/LOSS: This is a subtotal of your schools revenue less expenses.

REVENUES: All revenue is tracked in this section. “Sale of Food” reflects daily deposits from your POS.

EXPENSES: All your site expenses are tracked in this section. You have no control over the salaries and benefits. However, you do have control over certain expenses reflected on this statement. Wasted manpower hours, supplies and food are areas you may want to monitor closely.

7

NET INCOME (or loss): This is your bottom line. Review these reports monthly to know where your kitchen stands financially. Remember, it would not be unusual for this balance to be negative in July and August because your site is not generating revenue during these months; however, you are generating expenses.

PRORATED REBATES: You have no control over these items. Your school will be credited according to a calculation based on district revenues divided by your school’s revenues.

PRORATED EXPENSES: These are overhead expenses. You have no control over these items. They are expenses every business must incur. Overhead costs are costs not generated directly by your site, but help support your operation.

8

Accuracy and Accounting Issues

The Nutrition Services bank account is reconciled to the penny by the Accounting Department.

Deposit corrections affect the site’s bottom line. Differences will be charged to your profit and loss statement (P&L).

Corrections will be tracked for evaluation purposes by Nutrition Services.

Deposit Requirements

Each site must make daily deposits even if the school does not receive a daily armored car pick-up.

The total collected for the day should be listed on the day end deposit slip and the deposit ticket even if it does not match your point of sale (POS) system.

Two people must each count the deposit independently - both people must come to the same total. If not, count the money again.

Deposit Requirements cont… Prepare day end deposit slip.

DO NOT pre-sign this form. Prepare deposit ticket. Each site should have a printing calculator. Do not split up the deposit into separate bags.

Only one deposit and one deposit ticket per bag. Do not use paper clips or staples in your deposit.

Rubber bands are okay.

Cash Handling Locking safe

Every site should have a safe that locks—keep it locked.

Every safe should be bolted to the ground or wall.

If you do not have a safe, contact Mona Martinez-Brosh.

31

Cash Handling cont… Follow proper cash handling procedures.

Keep all money and change fund in the locked safe. Give completed deposit to main office cash handler. Fill out the armored car book. Once the person in the office takes hold of the cash, they

are responsible for the safe keeping of the deposit. Cash handler should sign day end paperwork stating they

have taken possession of deposit. Watch to see that the deposit bag is locked in the office

safe.

32

Cash Handling cont… Use your safe to secure your cash between

breakfast and lunch. If there is no one in the office to give the

deposit to the armored car guard when they arrive, the driver will not wait. They have a limited amount of time to spend at each site, therefore that deposit will have to wait until the next scheduled pick-up.

33

Cash Handling cont… Risk Management may not cover losses if

these cash handling procedures are not followed.

General rule for the losses covered by Risk Management--there must be signs of forcible entry.

34

Cash Handling cont… Counterfeit Bills

Check all large or suspicious bills with a counterfeit pen.

Include all accepted currency in the bank deposit.

Allow the bank to make the decision—they are the experts!

No effect on your P&L—the district will absorb the cost.

Change Fund What is a change fund?

A change fund is the amount of cash you keep to make change for students.

Every cafeteria has an approved amount. If you have questions about how much your site

should have, please contact Mona Martinez-Brosh. Keep the same amount in your change fund at

ALL times—subject to review by the Internal Audit Department.

37

Change Fund cont…

Increases or decreases in the amount of your change fund need Mona Martinez-Brosh’s approval.

Any modifications to your change funds will be handled by the Accounting Department.

Cash to increase you change fund will be sent to your site.

38

Change Orders

What is a change order? Change orders ARE NOT to replenish or increase your

change fund. It is to make different denominations of change from

the money you already have. For example, to request change for a $20.00 bill, you

could ask for a roll of quarters ($10) and two rolls of dimes ($10).

39

Change Orders cont… Change must be ordered through the

Accounting Department with a change order form. Do not take money to a local bank branch for change. For safety reasons, money is picked up and delivered by an armored car.

40

Two steps for a change order: First step - prepare a separate

deposit for each change order. The cash amount of the deposit

should be the amount of change you need.

Write “CHANGE ORDER” on deposit ticket.

Process the deposit as usual.
