Restaurant Failure Rate

Controls“A d h N l R A (2009)“According to the National Restaurant Association (2009), a typical restaurant in America earns a net profit under 10%. That means 90% of revenues are used to defer the cost of doing f f f gbusiness. Thus, managers that do not understand the importance of cost controls are bound to fail in the restaurant business. Two

j t i th t t i d t f d t d l bmajor costs in the restaurant industry are food cost and labor cost. These two costs together are referred to as prime costs. For a restaurant to succeed, the prime costs are expected to be less p pthan 60% of revenues. It is a ‘rule of thumb’ and a good rule to follow. Most restaurants that have failed often were found to have prime costs exceeding 60% indicating greater potential to

ROI Methodology

Recipe costing is the base for manyRecipe costing is the base for manyother aspects of the operations.

The Reality Is…

• Some restaurant operators do not phave any written or documented recipes.

• Some have recipes that are written are only for execution, not costing.

• The few that have costing in many cases do not take a manufacturing approachapproach.

• Menu pricing in some cases is not based on proper analysis and databased on proper analysis and data.
