Many restaurateurs set their menu prices by looking at what the bar on the corner charges or, even worse, by pure intuition. If your prices are not based on real cost and margin data, every time you serve a dish you could be losing money without knowing it. Raising prices is not an option, it is a survival necessity, but you have to know how to do it without scaring the customer away.
"If your customers only come because you are the cheapest, you don't have a clientele, you have an expiration date. Profitability begins by valuing your own work."
Why is your menu not profitable?
-
The fear of “what people will say”: Keeping 2022 prices with 2026 costs. Your margin has evaporated and you haven’t even realized it.
-
“Vampire” dishes: Those dishes that sell a lot but have a ridiculous margin. They only serve to give you work, not money.
-
Not applying the psychological factor: A menu without visual hierarchy makes the customer order the cheapest item, not what you want to sell.
Make your menu work for you
At The Bar N’ Bar we use menu engineering to categorize your dishes into: Stars (high profitability and popularity), Puzzles, Plowhorses, and Dogs. It’s not just about changing a number; it’s about redesigning your offering so that the customer naturally chooses what you are most interested in selling. We apply The BAR Method so that your profitability goes up without the need to double the number of tables.
Is your menu a catalog of expenses or a sales tool?
If you haven’t touched your prices in the last six months, you are losing profitability every day. Don’t wait until it’s too late. At The Bar N’ Bar we audit your menu, calculate your real margins, and help you implement a pricing strategy that protects your business and attracts the right customer.
