Nine out of ten people say they enjoy eating out according to a National Restaurant Association study, and half of consumers say restaurants are essential to their lifestyle. With more and more people eating out these days, that’s good news for your restaurant. However, increased customer traffic can lead to a rise in food costs.
There are many benefits to controlling costs. Lower food costs lead to increased profit, which is extremely important for long-term financial success. Your restaurant will be able to offer lower menu prices while still experiencing a profitable return. These lower prices can help attract new customers to your location.
Here are eight strategies to limit the costs at your operation:
- Follow Food Prices
- Review Inventory
- Join a Purchasing Group
- Increase Prep Work
- View Product Specifications
- Control Waste
- Accurately Portion Your Food
- Proper Pricing
