Menu Ideas to Boost Your Margin

PROFITABILITY IS KEY.

Increase your profit margins and you have the opportunity to invest in and grow your business. Check out these tips to boost your menu margins.

1. Make it Quick & Turn More Tables

Cut the time it takes to get food out to a table and you dramatically increase the opportunity to do more turns, driving up profits. (And making guests happy too!) Sample our ready-to-use items to make kitchen prep and plating a breeze. Plus, keep ever-rising labor costs down by using our pre-prepped ingredients. 

2. Reduce Waste

Decrease waste and profits increase, you already know this. But did you know that our ingredients have 100% yield? Use them as a reliable, fixed cost in your recipes.

3. Reduce Turnover

Your kitchen team is made up of a bunch of brilliant minds. Keep them focused on creating LTO's, while taking the mundane tasks of making a béchamel or a pot of soup off of their list. Teams that feel fulfilled at work are more likely to stick around.

4. Offer Add-On’s

Looking to up your check averages? Let diners customize their burgers, fries and even bowls of soup with add-on's that make the dish fully loaded. You'll be putting them in control of their order and also increasing checks. Try offering Bacon Marmalade or Beer Cheese Dip as add-on's.

5. Reorganize the Menu

Every menu has a high margin item and low margin items. Strategically place your most profitable items in the top corners, studies show that our eye start there. Test different placements based on your menu format to see what works best.
