Food Cost Percentagemethod
Step 1
Determine the food cost
Total food cost/total sales=Food costpercentage
Refer to handout given:
Total sales are $100,000 and cost of goodsold (total food cost) is $33,000.
$33,000/$100,000=0.33 or 33%

Calculate the menu price
Item food cost food cost percentage=menu price
$5.860.33= $17.76

Because of food cost percentage
method depends on the cost of the foodand its preparation within the foodserviceoperation, an accurate food costpercentage will be different for each
menu category: appetizer, salad etc.therefore using this method is not logicalsince restaurant will have different foodcost percentage for each menucategory.

Average check methodOnly can be use by the established
restaurant
In this method the average amount ofmoney spent by the customer is used todetermine a price category.
Then all the price are set to fit into thiscategory.

Average check method Basic formulation
total revenue no of customer =average check
This formula require information:Length of time period to use
Total revenue for the specific period
Number of seat in the restaurant
Average turnover of those seatsNumber of days the restaurant is open in thespecific period.

Average check method
Total revenue
____________________________________
number of seats x average turnoverxnumber of days open
= average check

Average check method
Eg: total revenue $100,000
number of seats175
average turnover 1.5 times
open for 30 days in specific month
$100,000
______________________ = $ 12.70175 x 1.5 x 30

Average check method
Variation of meal period
Let say the restaurant serve breakfast, lunchand dinner, there will be different averagecheck for each meal period
Then it is necessary to determine therevenue and turnover for each meal
separately.

Determine the menu price
Once the average check has beendetermined the price range for all menu
item must be determined price of menuitem can be established within theidentified price range.
Previously the average check is $12.70
which can be use to establish the pricerange for the restaurant.. The price rangecould be set from $ 10.00 to $ 15.00/

Contribution margin methodWork forala carte menu as well as menu itemthat comprise a meal (appitzer to dessert)
Uses a wide data to determine a dollar amountthat need to be added to each major menuitems food cost.In restaurant operation each menu item mustcontribute a dollar amount to the running offoodservice operation. The items price can be
calculated as the cost of the items food plusdollar amount called the items contributionmargin.

Contribution margin = gross profit in
foodservice. It consist of non food costand profit.
Non food cost + profit + food cost = menuprice.
Usually in foodservice operation does notknow the cost of nonfood factors (rent,utilities, labor, etc) of individual menuitem. Therefore these amount have to
derived from the total nonfood cost andthe total profit of entire operation.

Food cost +total nonfood +target profit
__________________________Number of customer
= menu price
$5.86 + 60,000 + 7,000
____________________
10,000
5.86 + 6.70 = 12.56

Straight markup pricingmethod
Set dollar amount markup method
- By adding a fixed dollar amount to thefood cost item.
- Food cost + markup = menu price
-
Profit per menu item + labor cost permenu item + operating cost per menuitem = mark up
15

16/18
Eg restaurant would like 10,000 profit per
month, if the average no of customer is10,000 then the profit required is 1.00.
If labor cost is 34,000, with 10,000customers then labor cost is 3.40.
Operating cost per month 26,000,customer 10,000 so operating cost percustomer is 2.60
The markup sum of three amounts
1.00+3.40+2.60= 7.00So if the food cost item is 5.86,
5.86+7.00= 12.86
16

Set percentage increase method
- Percentage that are more general andavoid the problem with adding a fixeddollar amount to each entre food cost.
- Food cost x percentage = markup
- Markup /food cost = percentage- 7.00/5.86=119%
- 119% should be add to food cost to getthe menu price. If menu item is 4.27 the
markup of 119% of 4.27 or 5.08- 4.27+5.08 =9.35.
17

18/18
Another way by multiplying the food cost
by a total markup percentage.
Food cost x (100% +percentage) =menuprice
4.27 x (100% +119%) = 9.35 4.27 x 219 = 9.35
