greatly influence what customers decide to order.

operation. The items listed on a menu say a lot about an
operation, but so does the way the menu is laid out.

Organizing a Menu

of cooking methods.

of the operation into account when they design a menu.

Pricing the Menu
 Pricing the menu is a critical process: it provides information
to customers and it determines profitability.
 The price of items on a menu also points to the market
category of the restaurant, indicating quality of the food, level
of service, atmosphere to expect, and so on.
 Management needs to make sure that pricing aligns with the
goals of the operation and the skill level of the staff.
 Price also determines ________________which is the
amount of money remaining for an operation after expenses,
or costs, are paid. This difference is also called the ________.
 The price of a menu item must account for all of the costs
involved in producing that item for the customer. Then,
management must build in profit.
7.3
Chapter 7 | Marketing
23
Menu Pricing Methods
 __________________________method: Set the percentage of
menu price that the food cost must be, and then calculate the price
that will provide this percentage:
_______ _____ _______÷ ______ _______ ______ = _________
 _____________________method: This method works for à la carte
menu items and menu items that comprise a meal. There are two
steps to the formula:
(Total nonfood cost + Target profit) ÷ Number of customers = Contribution
margin
Contribution margin + Food cost = Menu price
 Straight markup pricing: With this method, managers mark up the
costs according to a formula to obtain the selling price.
7.3
Chapter 7 | Marketing
24
More Menu Pricing Methods
 _________________method: With this method, managers
divide the total revenue by the number of seats, average seat
turnover, and days open in one year. The result is an average
check amount, which gives managers an idea of the price
range of items on the menu.
 ________________________markup: This method adds a
fixed dollar amount to the food cost of an item. The food cost
and the dollar amount of the markup must be known:
Food cost + Markup = Menu price
 The markup is calculated based on the following:
Profit per menu item + Labor cost per menu item
+ Operating cost per menu item = Markup
7.3

Menu Pricing Methods (Cont.)
 Set percentage increase method: With this method,
managers calculate the markup for the set dollar amount
markup for one or several menu items. Then, they
determine what the percentage markup is in comparison
to the items’ food costs:
Food cost × Percentage = Markup
Markup ÷ Food cost = Percentage

analyze how well items on the menu are performing.
 The _________________of a menu item is the number
of times the item is sold in a time period.
 Conducting a sales mix analysis helps managers
maximize profits. A ________________is an analysis of
the popularity and the profitability of a group of menu
items.

3. Divide each item’s sales by the total number of
purchases (covers) to determine each item’s menu mix
percentage:
Item number sold / total number of purchases
= menu mix percentage
4. In column K, categorize each item’s menu mix
percentage as either high or low. To determine menu
mix percentage, take 100 percent (1.00) and divide by
the number of items listed in the test.
5. List each item’s selling price in column D.
6. List each item’s standard food cost in column E.

Determine the contribution margin by subtracting the
item’s standard food cost (column E) from its selling
price (column D):
Selling price – Item food cost = Contribution margin
8. In column G, record the total revenue. Determine total
menu revenue by multiplying the number sold of each
item (column B) by its selling price (column D):
Number sold × Selling price = Total revenue
Total this column at the bottom of the column.

9. In column H, list the total item food cost. To obtain this
figure, multiply each item’s food cost (column E) by the
number sold (column B) to obtain total food cost
(column H):
Item food cost × Number sold = Total food cost
Total this column at the bottom of the column.
10. List the total item contribution margin in column I.
Determine this value by multiplying each item’s
contribution margin (column F) times the number sold of
each item (column B):
Item contribution margin × Number sold
= Total item contribution margin

11. Categorize each item’s contribution margin as either
high or low in column J, depending on whether or not
the item exceeds the menu’s average contribution
margin. Determine the menu’s average contribution
margin by dividing the total contribution margin in
column I by the total number of items sold in column B:
Total contribution margin of all menu items / Total number sold =
Average contribution margin
12. Use all the data gathered to classify each item into
categories in column L. Classify each menu item as a
star, plow horse, puzzle, or dog.

Using Menu Item Classifications
 ________________: These items are both popular and
profitable. For the most part, stars should be left alone.
 ___________________: These items are popular but
less profitable. These items are often an important reason
for a restaurant’s popularity. Because they are less
profitable, one solution may be to increase their price.
 ____________________: These items are unpopular but
very profitable. One of the best solutions to helping out a
puzzle is to decrease its price.
 ____________________: These items are unpopular and
unprofitable. Eliminate all dog items if possible. Replace
them with more popular items.
