A first look at what other restaurants in the Pancho network are paying for 10 of the highest-impact SKUs across your 2 Massachusetts locations — Westford and Leominster. Seoul Kitchen runs four concentrated programs: a deep sushi & sashimi bar, Korean BBQ (Bulgogi, Kalbi, Spicy Pork), the Kang's Sichuan-style wok line, and a heavy catering operation. That breadth means the same proteins cycle across dozens of menu lines — small price gaps compound fast. Prices reflect the latest invoice line per restaurant per comparable item. Once you upload Seoul Kitchen invoices we replace these reference numbers with your real position per location and flag every line where you're paying above the network low.

Your menu is protein-concentrated by design. Salmon alone shows up on more than 15 menu lines — every sushi roll, sashimi platter, Salmon Teriyaki entree, plus a +$9 add-on on every rice and noodle dish and the Sesame Crunch Salad. With salmon up 33% across the network in the last 6 months, this is your most exposed line on the P&L. Beef Ribeye runs the entire Korean BBQ + Korean-Mex program (Bulgogi, Tacos, Egg Rolls, Bao Buns, Kimchi Fries, plus catering trays). And the Kang's wok line plus catering pushes Chicken Breast across 8+ menu lines.
Two market alerts to watch right now:
— Salmon Fillet is up +33% in the last 6 months across the network. Salmon is your most-distributed protein — worth re-quoting with your seafood distributor or locking pricing before the next menu cycle.
— Yellowtail (Hamachi) is up +185%. Hamachi Jalapeno ($17), Negihama Roll and the Tri-Color Sashimi platter ride this fish — premium nigiri is the most volatile line in your sushi program right now.
What we deliver once you're connected:
— A weekly digest per location (Westford + Leominster) with your real prices vs the network
— Real-time alerts on price spikes (we would have flagged the Salmon and Hamachi jumps in week 1)
— Group-level consolidated view across both locations to surface negotiating leverage with your seafood and beef suppliers
— Food cost % tracking per location and per category (sushi, BBQ, wok, catering)
— Benchmark on every menu line, not just these 10
