Frequently Asked Questions
What markup should I use for menu pricing?
Most restaurants use a 2.5x to 4x markup on food cost. Fine dining typically uses 3x-4x, while casual dining uses 2.5x-3x.
Should I round menu prices?
Yes, use psychological pricing. Prices ending in .95 or .99 work for casual dining. Fine dining often uses whole numbers.
How do I price specials and seasonal items?
Seasonal items can carry a premium (10-15% above regular markup) since customers perceive them as exclusive.
