Що таке Food Cost Calculator?

▾

A food cost calculator computes the cost of producing a recipe or menu item, and the food cost percentage relative to the selling price. Food cost percentage is the key profitability metric for restaurants — industry standard is 28–35%.

Calkulon makes complex calculations simple — built for students and everyday problem-solvers.

Як Food Cost Calculator

▾
  1. 1Sum the cost of all ingredients in the portion
  2. 2Food cost % = Ingredient cost / Selling price × 100
  3. 3Ideal selling price = Ingredient cost / Target food cost %

Розв'язані приклади

▾
Приклад 1
Дано:Ingredients cost £3.50 · Selling price £14.00
Результат:Food cost 25%

£3.50/£14.00 = 25% — good margin

💡

Порада профі

Track food cost weekly, not monthly. A 3% variance noticed quickly is fixable; the same variance found 4 weeks later has already cost thousands in profit.

⭐

Чи знаєте ви?

Top restaurants aim for food cost as low as 22–25%, achieved through high selling prices, minimal waste, and efficient purchasing. Fast food chains operate at 25–35%.
