Food cost and menu pricing

Ingredient cost is pack price × quantity used ÷ pack quantity. Pack quantity and quantity used must use the same unit. Ingredient cost per portion divided by your target percentage gives the suggested menu price.

For example, $3 of ingredients per portion at a 30% target gives a $10 menu price before GST. Overheads appear separately and do not increase that target-based suggestion. Include labour, waste, tax and other operating costs when deciding your actual price. Figures stay on this page and are not saved to your account.
