The success of a restaurant business also passes through the correct food cost calculation. Especially in a period like the one we are experiencing, it is essential for managers to know the costs of dishes that are offered to customers in order to avoid waste and optimize their profit margins.
What is Food Cost?
Food Cost is a percentage value that is obtained from the ratio between the cost of the raw materials used in the preparation of a dish and the selling price of the same: Food Cost = (Cost of the dish/Selling price) x 100
Theoretical food cost and final food cost
Another fundamental concept to know to optimize your work is the distinction between theoretical cost and final cost: the theoretical cost considers which ingredients and in what quantities are used in the individual dish, while the final cost calculates the actual cost of the dish, also taking into account other factors such as construction time, personnel cost, energy used and calculation of any deviations, etc.
Knowing the cost of the ingredients is not enough, since the variables that are less easy to control are precisely those not directly attributable to raw material.
