It is important to calculate all the costs that come with the preparation of any product, especially if the purpose is to gain profit. To be successful in your business, you need to know the true cost of your products. If you cost the dishes of your menu, you will be able to minimise costs and achieve your target profit.

Your managers will be able to establish correct and competitive sale prices if they practice effective food cost control. Doing so will allow you to reach better profit targets not only for each dish but for the entire menu as well. You will be able to establish specific dishes for your daily sets or special menu (cross selling, up selling, bundling). It is important to know which items and ingredients can best generate your desired profits.
