  24. Menu Pricing Methods • __________________________method: Set the percentage of menu price that the food cost must be, and then calculate the price that will provide this percentage: _______ _____ _______÷ ______ _______ ______ = _________ • _____________________method: This method works for à la carte menu items and menu items that comprise a meal. There are two steps to the formula: (Total nonfood cost + Target profit) ÷ Number of customers = Contribution margin Contribution margin + Food cost = Menu price • Straight markup pricing: With this method, managers mark up the costs according to a formula to obtain the selling price. 7.3 Chapter 7 | Marketing

  25. More Menu Pricing Methods • _________________method:With this method, managers divide the total revenue by the number of seats, average seat turnover, and days open in one year.

The food cost and the dollar amount of the markup must be known: Food cost + Markup = Menu price • The markup is calculated based on the following: Profit per menu item + Labor cost per menu item + Operating cost per menu item = Markup 7.3 Chapter 7 | Marketing

  26. Menu Pricing Methods (Cont.) • Set percentage increase method:With this method, managers calculate the markup for the set dollar amount markup for one or several menu items.

  30. Menu Engineering (Cont.) • List the contribution margin for each item in column F.

  31. Menu Engineering (Cont.) • In column H, list the total item food cost.

  32. Menu Engineering (Cont.) • Categorize each item’s contribution margin as either high or low in column J, depending on whether or not the item exceeds the menu’s average contribution margin. Determine the menu’s average contribution margin by dividing the total contribution margin in column I by the total number of items sold in column B: Total contribution margin of all menu items / Total number sold = Average contribution margin • Use all the data gathered to classify each item into categories in column L. Classify each menu item as a star, plow horse, puzzle, or dog. 7.3 Chapter 7 | Marketing

  33. Using Menu Item Classifications • ________________: These items are both popular and profitable.
