What this tool does

The menu price calculator connects your raw plate cost to the guest-facing price while respecting the margin you need to survive labor, rent, and marketing swings. The outputs translate those guardrails into a recommended selling price, profit dollars, and plain-language guidance about whether the item feels underpriced, balanced, or premium relative to your goal.

Who should use it

Chef-owners, beverage directors pricing non-alcoholic programs, and franchise business coaches all need quick pricing math without breaking Excel. Fast-casual brands launching LTOs, bakeries selling by weight, and takeaway shops balancing delivery discounts will return to the page whenever commodity markets spike.

How to use it

Start from an honest food cost for one portion—include sauce and garnish if they belong to prime cost. Set your target margin percentage or equivalent markup depending on how your team thinks about pricing. If your market quotes VAT-inclusive prices, switch the tax mode so the calculator does not double-count.

Example

A bowl costs $4.40 fully loaded, you want 65% gross margin excluding VAT, and you plan a standing 10% loyalty discount. The calculator backs into the pre-discount list price that still yields your margin after the promo fires—often higher than intuition suggests.
