​Menu engineering is the process of creating a menu that showcases the kitchen’s skills while also taking into account food and purchase expenses.

It should be elegant yet subtle, eventually contributing to the restaurant’s narrative. Its main goal is to boost the restaurant's earnings by about 20%.

It is essential to revisit menu pricing from time to time in order to reflect fluctuating food costs. A restaurant’s gross profit margin will decrease and earn less if food expenses rise but the menu pricing remains the same.

Many have had to change their menus as a result of declining earnings brought on by increased food prices. While most of them are hesitant to raise menu pricing out of concern that this would decrease demand, the increasing expenses cannot be offset by simple menu tweaks but rather necessitate a more intricate menu engineering.

The first step is using food costs and sales data to determine which menu items are the most profitable, which require emphasizing, and which ones are best eliminated or reimagined. It is essential to include the labor cost involved in the preparation. Some dishes may appear inexpensive when the ingredients are taken into account; However, the time it takes to prepare them can make a huge difference.

​

Restaurateurs need to examine their expenses and consider every option possible to save costs. For example, opting for local sourcing, seasonality, and sustainability might be good options. Given the growing cost of shipping, affordability should take precedence over grandeur.
