Top Five Ways to Ensure Your Restaurant's Profitability Now and in the Future

by Dan Bocik, Owner of a tavola and Menu Profit Solution

Building and maintaining a successful restaurant business isn’t easy. After taking into account food and beverage costs, payroll, and all other expenses, how do you ensure there is profit left?

Here are five simple things you can do to improve your profit margin:

Identify Profitability to the Plate and Cocktail Level

Ensuring that the food and beverage items are profitable at all times is critical to the success of a restaurant business. You must know exactly when the price of the ingredients changes, and must have proper systems in place to keep track of this in a timely manner. Knowing immediately when a menu item isn’t profitable anymore will help you make proper changes faster and more effectively, which is vital to your bottom line.

I've created a simple and effective tool to do just that, which you can find on my website here. 

Increase Sales of the Most Profitable Items

To maximize the revenue of your restaurant, ensure that your high-profit items are highlighted on your menu as they are the ones that bring the most profits to your business.

The best way to do this is by quickly and easily allowing your customers to interact with your menu that is easily updated. I am partnering with a new innovative company called Menu.Today. I am having good success with my restaurant, a tavola.

Support the Dining Room Sales Staff with Real-time Accurate Menus to Become Guest Experience-Focused

Keeping your menus up-to-date and accurate is very important to create a positive and profitable experience, not only for the restaurant guests, but also for the sales staff. This ensures that your kitchen, dining room, and office are all working together seamlessly to achieve the same result. Satisfied customers and more profitable sales

Empower Chefs with a Simple Method to Convey their Latest Specials and Changes Directly to the Guests

How many times has this happened to you? The chef creates a beautiful special, the staff tastes it before service with descriptions. Only to have none of the specials sell. Having a system that shows customers every detail on the special will eliminate this problem, create more satisfied guests, and help achieve more profitable sales.

Allow Your Guests to Navigate the Menu to Make the Best Informed Decision

Implementing a modern mobile menu technology such as digital menus and order at table apps will not only help improve the experience of your guests, but also make your restaurant ordering process much faster, efficient, and easier.
Eliminating uncomfortable 86’d items, allowing fast and easy menu changes on the fly, and being able to manage all of this is no longer a theory, it’s a reality.

Implementing modern and powerful restaurant software like the Menu Profit Solution and Menus.Today will help you not only with costing out your menus and tracking your profitability, but also with saving time and money in the process.
