Why does nobody talk about how much butter restaurants actually go through

I was doing inventory at my buddy's place in Austin last month and we counted 40 cases of butter for one week of service. Forty. That's like 480 pounds just for a mid size spot doing brunch and dinner. I knew kitchens used a lot but that number hit me different. Does your place track butter usage per shift or do you just order when you're low?

Coating every tray of bacon uses way more butter than most people realize.
