Is it normal for food costs to creep up even when prices stay the same?

I haven’t changed suppliers or menu pricing, but our food cost percentage keeps rising month over month.

I’m trying to understand if this is just inflation, portion control issues, or something else I’m missing.

How do other small operators keep this under control?
