Menu Value Engineering
A menu engineering matrix considers sales data, customer analytics and food cost appraisals to identify what should be on your menu.
-
A specific time period needs to be selected – do you seasonally rotate menu items or are they all year round available? Establish day part analysis based on service windows.
-
Analyse food costs in both recipes and sub-recipes to narrow down your ingredient list – review procurement, storage and wastage of all ingredients.
-
Complete your menu matrix by categorising each menu item by popularity and profitability to identify stars
-
Restructure your menu using the analysis your matrix has provided whilst providing updated service standards to drive identified stars
