Restaurant Owners... In the industry there's really only two ways to set prices on your menu and most restaurants are doing it wrong. Watch the video as I explain what these pricing models are and choosing which one is the best and tips on how to implement it.

Hi Rayan, I am starting out with food which are new in our target area and there is no competition. so it is very difficult to understand the market price of the target area. We have done survey of the budget they are going to spend on good food..and i think i will be the one to set a new market standard of the products. And i dont multiply by 3 or 4..what i do is take the food cost and add the calculation of fixed costs and variable costs plus the % profit that is required.

I was sitting in a breakfast establishment in the Phoenix metro area and found myself adding my environment/expensive into the equation. I was sat in what felt like a walkway that should have been cleared but instead to maximize space my comfort was compromised which changed my perspective on cost. All of a sudden my $12 breakfast felt like a $4 breakfast and yet I still had to pay full price. It really made me not want to go back even though I understand trying to maximize your profit some things can't be figured out with just a math equation.

Absolutely! Restaurant's aren't black and white. Guest experience is a huge part of your success factor. One of my team members left ar restaurant for this exact reason. So even if your menu items are priced correctly and costs are under control, if you don't exceed guest expectation then you won't have anybody to serve.

Look for the businesses you are trying to emulate. Take the most successful and the least successful and average it out. Market costs vary from day to day... tricky stuff. Find out if the customers are local, seasonal, or coming from other areas. Find out the cost threshold these customers will tolerate. Wish you luck.

What about when it comes to pricing for instance Wine by the Glass (175ml, 250ml) etc .... is there a formula, obviously understanding it works out better for the customer to buy the bottle, but what is a good formula to work out by the glass sales against bottles?
@Therestaurantboss
@Therestaurantboss 6 жыл бұрын
There is none that I have created or am aware of. Generally speaking I want to make my money back on the bottle by the second glass. But that also depends on your style of restaurant and how quickly you move wine. Also if you are pouring 4,5 or 6 glasses per bottle.

One thing i have found with the cost plus model is that it is difficult to price labour into each menu item so that you easily work out how much it costs to produce but i think the same thing would apply to the market minus. how do you price labour into each item so that you can manage the costs as a whole or is this not possible at all?

I think they're doing this on purpose to get people to go to there restaurant because they're all doing it. I found out that it costs 2 to 3 times more than the prices they have listed on their website. I went to a restaurant thinking it was going to cost me about $13 but it cost me close to $30 Same thing happened at other restaurants including fast food. It seems that we cant look up the prices on websites anymore.

I like that but give us product pricing way to look up what they should, just saying this because I have a food truck and things are the same while not the same, I need my burner cooking food continuously or I break even. A food truck is not like a stable place but it's a start. Nonetheless, I have to find a way to undercut the normal market price or be showcased on TV somewhere like the Taco Bus in my area.

Why divide by 3 or 4? Is that an industry standard? So in Market Minus Pricing, if the market can bear more, then I make more, but if the market cannot, then I make what everybody else is making or less. Is that what I hear you saying?
@Therestaurantboss
@Therestaurantboss 3 жыл бұрын
Not completely, what I am saying is find out what the market wants then build the best possible X with Y amount of money to spend. So yes, dividing by 3 would give you a 33.3% food cost and by 4 would give you a 25% food cost. Those are good starting places for industry averages, but not set in stone by any means. Most restaurants will run a 10 or 15% FC on french fries, but a 50% FC on a burger with cheese, bacon and avocado. When you add up all the money spend on food by the sales at the end of a period, it is reasonable to shoot for between 25% and 33% as a general rule of thumb.

You do both, it's called Fair Market Pricing. Since it's a new product, inducing for trial is your most important objective. Once you've created a demand, then you may carefully increase your prices.

Greetings! My new business partner and I are working on restarting a tavern & grill / restaurant that has been closed for almost two years. (The next BIG hurdle is the city council at the Oct 2 meeting - convincing them to take a chance on us when the former operators had many noise complaints from the neighbors because the bands were playing too loud on Saturday nights.) We are now putting our menu items together and are working on giving the best quality and quantity for the best price. We will be going over many of your educational videos, along with many others, in hopes that we can get it right the first time. This is our first venture into this field, although we have owned and operated a couple of businesses in different fields. Management of the elements appear to work the same in all fields, but the fields all work differently. We now will have to learn the various fields in a tavern & grill environment. It will be interesting, to say the least... Any anvice you can send our way will be greatly appreciated. Many thanks!

Don't try to give the best quality at the best price...that is impossible. You can give the best quality for the price they are willing to pay, but the best quality comes with a price tag...small change in wording but MASSIVE shift in business planning and decision-making.

I hate overpriced crap food, which is what you can find in almost every restaurant around mine. People say my prices are too low for the kind of food I serve, but I think my prices are fair. So, I am wrapped in this constant dilemma. If my own customers are willing to pay more, should I make some changes?

Remember price is about value to your customers. Ferrari's are expensive but that does not mean they are a rip off. You get an absolutely amazing car with incredible performance for the price. Some may say they are too expensive and others think they are cheap, just depends on what your expectations is and how well you deliver on that. Charge what is fair for the quality and distinction you provide. The more unique and distinct, the more you can usually charge. If your customers say your food is too cheap, likely you should be charging more. What is your food cost?

The Restaurant Boss I can produce above average quality, with fresh ingredients for a very, very low cost. I sell mexican/latin food, everything handmade, but as I said, very low cost.

Please give an illustration including cost of a particular item like one quanitity of pizza with cos of ingredients, fuels and hire charges of the restaurants, salary of staff and other admin expenses to fix up the price which would yield profit. Otherwise this video is of no use for beginners.

Well none of that is included in your food cost, so to start, food cost is JUST the cost of the ingredients to create that item, NOTHING else. That is why it is called food cost. Then on average, you will want most items to be around 25% food cost, so you multiply the cost by 4 to get the menu price. BUT I suggest using the Market Minus method.

Market minus is based on what you think your guest is willing to pay. There is no formula for that, it is based on your gut instinct, conversations with potential or current guests and competitive price analysis.
