A first look at what other restaurants in the Pancho network are paying for 10 of the highest-impact SKUs across your 10 Massachusetts locations — CityPoint Waltham, The Post Waltham, Revolution Hall Lexington, Lex Labs, Cambridge, Morrissey Hall, Allston, TCAM Marlborough, Gateway North & South Wellesley. Your operation is built around a sous vide protein backbone that runs across every concept inside the halls — Sousviderie (burgers, tacos), Project X (pizza), Crave Wings, Vessel Vegan, Functional Salads, plus the Craft Sandwiches and Mac & Cheese line. That means the same proteins cycle through dozens of menu lines at 10 locations — small price gaps compound at enterprise scale. Prices reflect the latest invoice line per restaurant per comparable item. Once you upload Craft Food Halls 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 architecturally concentrated — the same sous vide protein backbone runs across every concept inside every hall. Chicken alone shows up on 15+ menu lines, across Sousviderie tacos, Project X pizzas, Crave Wings, Functional Bowls, Mac & Cheese and the Specials. With 10 locations all running this shared menu, every cent on whole chicken compounds across thousands of birds per week across the group. Beef Ground anchors the entire Sousviderie burger line (7 builds + Smash + Kids), Pork Butt runs the pulled pork program (taco + sandwich + pizza), and Beef Skirt cycles through the barbacoa taco + salad line.
Two market alerts to watch right now:
— Beef Skirt / Chuck Flap (Barbacoa) is up +150% in the last 6 months across the network. Fire Roasted Steak Tacos at $12.95 and the Balsamic Steak & Blue Cheese Salad at $16.95 both ride this cut — worth a re-quote with a second source before the next menu refresh.
— Crave Wings concentration risk — 12 menu lines across the program (6 flavors × 2 sizes) all share the same wings SKU. A single supplier price spike hits every line. With 10 locations running the same wings menu, group-level negotiating leverage is your biggest unrealized lever right now.
