is needed, it’s crucial to consider all factors concurring to determine “food cost”, in order to manage your business with quick and constant profit. But talking about “food cost” in a restaurant means taking into account not only the raw material costs, or the cost of single products, as one could think; it is necessary to consider all these elements that are a cost for the activity: we are talking about various management, storage and service costs. Only in this way you can really understand a business’ trend.

So we are now talking about a value that sets the ratio of the raw material costs to the ancillary costs for the preparation of a dish and to its selling price. The exact calculation of food cost can therefore be the key for a restaurant business’ success, and restaurant owners should pay special attention to it: an essential approach to monitor a business’ trend. It is necessary that entrepreneurs adopt all the tools and machines that allow them to optimise their business, helping therefore their employees be more productive and themselves organise more efficiently the restaurant management.
