The COGS acronym, stands for Cost Of Goods – or for those of you who call it Cost Of Sales – that works as well, and when you see COGS on your Restaurant P&L. What is the Cost of Goods (COGS) formula for a restaurant?
Point-blank: It’s critical to the health and survival of all restaurants that you understand your COGS and how to manage them accurately – here’s how. Unfortunately, many owners/operators fail to see how, if mismanaged or handled inconsistently, COGS for restaurants can have a majorly negative impact on profitability and cash flow. With already narrow margins becoming even slimmer during a pandemic, every penny counts. The insights gained in the doctoral thesis will be presented in an exhibition intervention on the upper floor of the cog hall.Restaurant Cost Of Goods (or to some, Cost Of Sales) take up a significant amount of a restaurant’s overall expense.
Accompanying this, a visitor survey on the perception of the "cog" as well as a Citizen Science project will take place, in which visitors can show photos or objects with "cog" representations. This dissertation project will examine various pictorial representations, their differences and similarities. So far, only individual works have been examined, but not the motif of the "Cog" within various groups of objects. There, visitors can see an exhibition on the history of the picture and the reception of the "cog": Beginning with the medieval seals and oil paintings to today's advertising objects with the "cog" in design. The special role of the picture is the theme of the top floor of the newly designed Cog hall in the DSM. The pictorial representations of the "Cog" in the DSM The "cog" always has a certain function and symbolic content in the historical or political environment. With the replicas a real "re-experience" can be made possible. Also as a sculpture or in connection with architecture there is the opportunity to see "cogs" still today. In the 20th century, the "Cog" became known in the company logo of beer brands, among other things, and in an abstract form as a logo can be found in many associations. Nevertheless, there are numerous depictions of "cogs" in the 19th and 20th centuries in a wide variety of areas - from paintings and graphics, which also found widespread use as illustrations in books, on postcards, stamps and collectible pictures, to their implementation on glass, porcelain and ceramics, in textiles or jewellery. The "Cog" in pictures since the 19th century Whether the building type "cog" was exactly defined in the Middle Ages is difficult to assess. This problem is made clear by the very rare explicit designations of the depicted ships on seals as "cogs" in the corresponding texts and their very differently reproduced ship characteristics. The question whether the medieval painters really wanted to depict "cogs" or whether the building typology was important for them at all cannot be ignored. on medieval seals, as wall paintings in churches or as miniatures in book illumination, played an important role, since there was no original ship as an object for viewing and examination, since the construction period of the "Koggen" ended in the 15th century. It was precisely on this question that for a long time the illustrations of "Koggen" (cogs), e.g. Almost everyone has an idea of what a "Cog" looks like. The "Cog" is probably the most famous ship of the Hanseatic League. How are "cog articles" common in everyday culture related to the ship find? Has the image of the wreck changed the perception associated with the term "cog"? Or did the images that were associated with the "cog" even before it was found influence the interpretation of the wreck in such a way that they did not allow any other conclusions than that we see a "cog" in front of us?
