Menu Engineering

Structuring menus for maximum yield and portion cost controls.

⚠️ The Challenge

Many restaurants run a bloated menu of 80+ items. This drives up inventory storage costs, complicates kitchen workflows, and increases daily ingredient spoilage.

✅ The Solution

We restructure your menu based on physical yield analysis, portion controls, and high-margin popularity mapping.

Our Step-by-Step Consulting Process

1

Analyze physical raw material yield for each menu item.

2

Group menu items into Stars (high margin, high popularity) and Dogs (low margin, low popularity).

3

Standardize portions down to exact gram weights (portion control).

4

Optimize layout visibility to draw eyes toward high-gross-margin signature dishes.

📋 What You Get (Deliverables)

  • Standardized Recipe Weight Manual (portion matrices).
  • Gross Profit Matrix (raw cost vs pricing analysis).
  • Streamlined menu layout draft (reduced by 50% for speed).

📈 Expected Business Outcome

Typically reduces food cost percentage by 4% to 8% within the first 30 days.
