    The way i did it,and admittedly I didn't know at the time if would work, was my Plain Ham burger was the same price as everyone else, but we made it to basically break even gross inc wages, consumables and energy, The burger was huge and people loved it, then the add-ons to those burgers were 200 to 500% markup. And we went from selling 150 burgers a week, to 400 burgers. And it ended up becoming my strategy, to draw people in and break even on budget and make money from the rest of the food bought around the burger.

    • @lethal2453
      @lethal2453 2 года назад +1

      There was an unexpected benefit to it too, because we started turning over lots more food, our suppliers stated to provide us better prices, which enabled us to make a little more on every sale, and improved the Net per sale.

    • @lethal2453
      @lethal2453 2 года назад +1

      Also it allowed us to use much better quality food, which also helped improve the revenue as people know when they are getting good quality fresh food. We stopped skinting on price, and worked out a way to get better food and sell lots of it.

    Business planning involves sitting down and designing the menu and market you want to serve. And how the location kitchen, and decor meets those needs .This could take 7 hours or 40 hours depending on restaurnant experience . Business managers and owner and planner need to have analysis meeting , luncheon.

    The major problem is that with new restaurants people are looking for the best food for the lowest price. So, say I wanted to make a foie gras terrine, I would need to sell lower end stuff, but make it flavorful enough to eventually build up enough revenue to begin selling that terrine without breaking the restaurant

    Your info is excellent and you have good tips. The style of video is just enough to keep your attention without overkill. However, I’d recommend losing the music entirely or just use it when you segue. You don’t need it in the background when you are talking numbers. Maybe for something broader it would be fine. That said, I really like your videos and they get my ideas going as well as remind me of what I need to think about still. Thanks for your work!
