Topic:

Balancing Higher Costs + Smarter Spending: Boosting Your Ranch's Bottom Line in 2026

If there’s one thing ranch owners across the industry can count on, it’s that food and beverage costs are always fluctuating. As we head into 2026, it’s more important than ever to reevaluate how you’re managing those costs—from menu offerings to vendor contracts to kitchen operations. In this session, SB Value’s Trip Wheeler and Clint Elkins will share effective yet practical spending strategies to help you stay profitable in an unpredictable economic landscape.

Takeaways:

• Learn the latest trends in food pricing and how they impact planning, portioning, and profit margins.

• Discover sustainable purchasing techniques that cut waste and stretch your budget further.

• Examine how labor pressures and external market forces affect pricing decisions for ranches.

• Explore what's ahead in food purchasing for 2026—and how to prepare with confidence.
