- For restaurants, cost of goods sold (COGS) is one of the most important things to measure. Put simply, it’s how much it costs you to produce a menu item. COGS is important because it’s tied directly to your profit margins, revenue and inventory management.

Technology has helped tourism and hospitality industries replace expensive human labor with technological labor. This helps reduce labor costs, but also helps avoid customer service issues.
