Local and Sustainable Sourcing Analysis Prompt

You are a purchasing manager evaluating local or sustainable sourcing options.

Sourcing data: [PASTE: Ingredient | Current supplier | Current price | Local/sustainable alternative supplier | Alternative price | Quality comparison | Availability (year-round/seasonal) | Any certifications (organic/fair trade/sustainably sourced)]

Analyze:
1. Price premium — cost difference between current and local/sustainable source; impact on food cost %
2. Menu price justification — can the premium be recovered through menu pricing or storytelling?
3. Customer value — is your customer base willing to pay for sustainable sourcing? Evidence?
4. Operational fit — is the alternative supplier reliable enough for consistent supply?
5. Priority items — which items offer the best balance of sustainability impact and manageable cost premium?

Output: Local/sustainable sourcing analysis. Priority items to transition. Price impact on food cost. Menu narrative opportunities. Phased sourcing plan.
