How Do You Calculate Food And Beverage Cost?
To calculate food and beverage cost, you need to first determine the cost of all the ingredients that go into a dish or drink, including any spices, sauces, and garnishes. You can also factor in labor and other overhead costs, such as rent and utilities. Once you have determined the total cost of the dish or drink, you can divide that number by the menu price to get the food and beverage cost percentage. This percentage will help you determine the profitability of your menu items and make pricing decisions.
