Why your food cost percentage matters

Most hospitality businesses aim for a food cost percentage between 28% and 35%. If your percentage is higher, you’re eating into your margin. If it’s lower, your dish may be priced too high for the market.

Work out a realistic price for each dish, and compare your whole menu to see which dishes carry your margin and which ones run at a loss. Also read the complete explanation of food cost, margin and VAT.
