- Ignoring waste, tasting and staff meals.
FAQ
What target food cost should I use?
Commonly 28 to 35 percent; with high delivery commissions, food cost needs to be lower to keep margin.
Is the suggested price the final price?
No; competitors, customers, taxes, discounts and price points also matter.
