Description
Weekly food cost variance diagnostic for restaurant and franchise operators. Four-lever system that catches COGS drift weekly instead of monthly — ordering,...
Usage Guidance
This skill appears internally consistent and safe to install, but review how the agent's memory is configured before use: the skill asks to store each diagnostic run (COGS %, items, actions) which may contain sensitive business data. If you don't want that data persisted, disable or clear memory for this skill or avoid entering confidential vendor/account details. Also confirm the agent will not be given direct access to your POS or vendor systems (the skill expects the operator to look things up manually). Finally, test the workflow with non-sensitive example data and verify retention and access controls for the stored diagnostics before using it on live operations.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: qsr-food-cost-diagnostic
Version: 1.0.1
The skill bundle contains only metadata and a markdown-based instruction set (SKILL.md) for a restaurant food cost diagnostic tool. There is no executable code, no network activity, and no instructions that attempt to exfiltrate data or bypass security controls; it purely guides an AI agent through a conversational diagnostic process for business operations.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name, description, and runtime instructions all describe a conversational diagnostic workflow for weekly food-cost variance and the resources asked for (operator answers, recipe/inventory checks) match that purpose; there are no unrelated credentials, binaries, or install steps requested.
Instruction Scope
Instructions stay within the operator-guided diagnostic scope (questions to ask, checklist of levers, and recommended remediations). One notable point: the skill instructs the agent to store each diagnostic run in memory (a defined format). That means business-sensitive operational data (COGS %, top items, actions) will be persisted to the agent's memory — make sure you consent to that and understand retention/visibility settings.
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files — instruction-only skill. Nothing is downloaded or written to disk by the skill itself, which minimizes installation risk.
Credentials
The skill requires no environment variables, credentials, or config paths. It asks users to reference their POS, vendor invoices, or ordering system manually but does not request direct access tokens or unrelated credentials.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill is user-invocable (normal). However, the SKILL.md explicitly requests persistent memory entries for each diagnostic run; this is reasonable for trend tracking but is a persistence decision you should review (who can read those memories, how long they are kept).
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install qsr-food-cost-diagnostic - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/qsr-food-cost-diagnostic - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output

v1.0.1 — License clarification and suite branding. Added business use clarification to CC-BY-NC-4.0 license. Added McPherson AI QSR Operations Suite identifier. No functional changes.
v1.0.0
Initial release: Introduces a structured, four-lever diagnostic tool for quickly identifying and correcting food cost (COGS) variances in restaurants and franchises.
- Enables weekly, on-demand food cost variance checks (ordering, portions, recipes, waste) to address issues before month-end.
- Guides operators step-by-step through each diagnostic stage, logging the root cause and recommended actions.
- Includes first-run setup questions to tailor the diagnostic to each operation.
- Structured memory/logging format for tracking each diagnostic run and identifying recurring issues over time.
- Follow-up reminders and pattern analysis help operators address systemic food cost drivers.
