Why Use a Food Cost Calculator?

One of the biggest reasons restaurants fail is **improper pricing**. If you guess your prices, you might be selling dishes at a loss without knowing it.

The 30% Rule

In the restaurant industry, the "Food Cost Percentage" should generally be between **30% and 35%**. This means if a dish costs you ₹100 to make (raw materials), you should sell it for roughly ₹300-₹330 to cover labor, rent, and profit.

How to use this tool:

  1. List Ingredients: Add every item that goes into the dish (Oil, Spices, Meat, Garnish).
  2. Calculate Cost: Enter the cost for the *portion used* (e.g., if 1kg Chicken is ₹200 and you use 250g, enter ₹50).
  3. Set Target: Adjust the slider to your desired margin. Fine dining aims for 25%, while QSRs might go up to 35%.
