💰 How to Accurately Calculate Dish Costs and Secure Your Profit
Many restaurants price their dishes emotionally or based on the market — and forget the most important thing: real costs.
🧾 Break Down Every Ingredient
Proper pricing starts with calculating the cost of every ingredient — from the first drop of oil to the final pinch of salt.
⚡ Don’t Ignore Operating Costs
Include labor, electricity, packaging, and natural product waste in your cost calculations.
📉 High Sales ≠ Real Profit
Without accurate numbers, you might be selling a lot — and still losing money on every order.
📊 Set a Realistic Profit Margin
Add a profit margin that truly covers your costs — and leaves room for growth.
⚖️ Balance Between Demand and Profit
Some items may have lower profit but higher demand. Build a balanced menu strategy.
🔄 Keep Costs Updated
A proper system helps you track ingredient price changes and update dish costs regularly.
🏪 Got Multiple Branches? Standardize Costs
Unifying pricing and cost structure across branches prevents inconsistencies and confusion.
💎 Price Should Reflect Value
Customers are willing to pay — but only if they see real value in what they’re getting.
