FAQ

How do you calculate restaurant profit?

Three layers: gross margin = revenue − food cost; operating profit = gross margin − labour − rent − utilities − marketing; net profit = operating profit − interest − tax − depreciation. Net is what you keep.

Which costs do small restaurants most often miss?

The owner's own salary, equipment depreciation, card and platform fees, and annual costs spread monthly (insurance, licences, major repairs). Put them into overheads and the profit you see becomes real.

Profit is thin — which cost do I cut first?

Start with the largest share you can actually move — usually food and labour. Rent will not move short-term; on the revenue side, filling reservations and cutting no-show empty tables often lifts profit faster than cost cuts.
