MarginChef / Menu economics, made clear
Great food.
Healthier margins.

From the first ingredient to the final selling price.
The question behind every plate
What does this dish really earn?
What to expect
Costs before guesswork
Clear inputs, useful decisions
A focus on the food business
01 / The workflow
Know your costs.
Own your pricing.
A busy kitchen doesn't need another pile of numbers. It needs a direct line from what goes into a dish to what comes out of a sale.
The margin equation
Menu price − recipe cost
Your contribution before labor, overhead, and other operating expenses. A useful starting point—not the whole profit story.
Give every dish a margin
Connect recipe costs to menu prices so you can see what each dish leaves behind. Look beyond your best sellers to understand your best earners.
Price with a clearer picture
Consider changes to portions, ingredients, and selling prices before changing the menu. Make the trade-offs visible before making the call.
