Yield loss is the ingredient mass lost during prep — bones, fat trim, water evaporation, peel waste — expressed as a percentage of the raw input. Typical yield-loss factors: whole chicken 28–32%, beef silverside 15–20%, leafy greens 25–40%. Recipe-level inventory must apply yield-loss correctly or daily variance reports lie.
In multi-outlet restaurant and F&B operations, yield loss is an essential component — directly affecting service speed, order accuracy and margin. See the related terms below to understand where it fits in the broader stack.
LOOP supports yield loss natively in its POS + KDS + inventory platform for Vietnamese F&B chains — no plugin or third-party integration required. It's one reason multi-outlet operators pick LOOP as their primary operations system.
