When the F&B Live Forecast is configured to forecast Total Revenue, any manual pickups are applied to the total Live Forecast amount for the profit center. The pickup itself is not food-specific.

How Food Revenue is calculated
Food Revenue is derived from Total Revenue based on:

• Account mapping. Revenue accounts marked as Food define the historical food share used by PMI.
• Live Forecast (Other revenue) configuration. If Food Revenue is enabled, PMI calculates Food Revenue from Total Revenue using one of the following methods:
  • a fixed percentage, or
  • Last Year ratio (recommended), which reflects seasonal business mix.

What happens when a pickup is added

• The pickup increases or decreases Total Revenue in the Live Forecast.
• PMI recalculates Food Revenue using the configured Food Revenue logic.
• The adjusted Food Revenue flows through to all areas where it is used.

Impact on Cockpits
Any cockpit that uses Food Revenue as a cost driver (e.g. Labor or Food Cost) will automatically reflect the change caused by the pickup.

Key takeaway
Manual pickups at total level affect Food Revenue indirectly, via the Food Revenue configuration in the Live Forecast, which is informed by historical account mapping. This behavior is expected and ensures consistency across PMI.
