Costing It Out: Smart Pricing for Maximum Profit
Our new Recipes Blog isn’t just about inspiration—it’s about equipping you with the numbers that matter. We break down ingredient costs and suggest ideal pricing so you can serve in style while keeping your margins strong.
Understanding Contribution Margin: The Key to Profitability
When pricing your platters, it’s crucial to understand the contribution margin—the revenue from each platter minus its variable costs. The higher the contribution margin, the more profit you make per platter, helping you cover fixed costs and increase overall profitability. By managing portion sizes and ingredient costs carefully, you can boost your contribution margin while still delivering a top-notch experience for your customers.
