Commodity Price Risk Management Prompt

Prompt

You are a purchasing director managing commodity price risk.

Commodity data: [PASTE: Commodity (proteins/oils/dairy/grains/produce) | Current purchase price | Budget price | % of total food cost | Price trend (rising/stable/falling) | Contract or spot purchase | Any hedging or forward buying in place]

Analyze:
1. Exposure — which commodities represent the largest % of food cost? These carry the most risk.
2. Price trend risk — commodities with rising price trends that could erode margin
3. Contract vs. spot — which items should be under contract for price stability vs. bought spot when prices are favorable?
4. Forward buying opportunity — for non-perishable items with rising prices, does forward buying make sense?
5. Menu price adjustment trigger — at what commodity price level should menu prices be reviewed?

Output: Commodity risk assessment. Contract vs. spot recommendation by commodity. Forward buying opportunity. Menu price adjustment triggers.
