Ingredient cost : purchase price excluding tax × converted quantity used ÷ quantity covered by the price.

Gross profit : excluding-tax menu price − ingredient cost.

Margin : gross profit ÷ excluding-tax menu price × 100.

Food cost : ingredient cost ÷ excluding-tax menu price × 100.

Minimum price : ingredient cost ÷ (100% − target margin).

Understand the result

Turn purchase prices and quantities into a reliable cost per serving.

Turn ingredient cost into a minimum price without a blind multiplier.

Compare the right percentages and avoid decisions based on the wrong denominator.
