How to calculate dish margins
Food cost percentage compares ingredient cost with menu price. Use it to see how supplier price changes affect ingredient margin before labour, overheads, taxes and payment fees.
Add each ingredient with its purchase cost and the quantity used per plate. The calculator updates ingredient cost, food cost percentage and ingredient margin before labour, overheads, taxes and payment fees.
The colour bands are illustrative ingredient-cost thresholds. Set your own target using your labour, overheads, service model and required profit.
