FOOD & BEVERAGE
Beverage Program Development
Your beverage program is an essential revenue driver. While it is true that the average restaurant generates about 30% of its topline revenues from beverage sales, it is also true that the margins are much greater. With this in mind, you’d be surprised at how many owners/operators overlook their beverage programs. We will work with you and your staff to dial in your beverage program.
Menu Engineering
Although you likely have target food and beverage costs in your establishment, not every menu item will carry exactly the same cost percentages. Some items are more costly than others, but most establishments will have a range of prices that all the menu items fit into. Consequently, it is essential to balance the menu so that the low and high-cost items work together to help you reach your targets. Through this process, we will look into your product costs and help you set the right price for each item.
Food & Beverage Costing
Let’s get down to brass tax for a moment. One of the biggest reasons why restaurants and bars fail so often is largely due to owners and operators not knowing their product costs. They may have a general idea of where things are, or where they should be, but without a vigilant eye on the real numbers, your business’s profitability can quickly diminish. We will help you ensure you are maximizing profitability by customizing Food and Beverage costing sheets for your business - They will be easy to use, and an incredible resource.
