Waste is a margin leak
Prep waste, spoilage and over-production all show up as higher food cost without higher sales. Measuring rupees makes the leak harder to ignore.

Frequently asked questions
How do you estimate food waste cost?
Waste cost = kilograms wasted × average cost per kg for that food. Scale by days to estimate monthly or annual impact.
How do I pick cost per kg?
Use a weighted average of the items you typically waste, or track a week of waste by category for a sharper number.
