Restaurant Profitability Myths and Truths

Common Restaurant Profitability Myths are featured throughout this flyer.

Myth: Buying larger quantities to get volume discounts saves money. Truth: Not after accounting for the extra waste, theft, spoilage, larger portion sizes and overall carelessness that results when more products are purchased than are needed. Smart operators purchase just what they need even if the price/unit is a little higher. They know they will make more money if they focus on product use, not quantity discounts.

Myth: Profit-and-loss statements should be pre-pared and reviewed monthly. Truth: It is of limited value to compare a monthly P&L with a previous month. There may be a different number of total days or a different number of weekend days that will invalidate any meaningful sales comparison. Many restaurants do more than 50 percent of their sales on two days of the week - Fridays and Saturdays. Many restaurant operators prepare their P&Ls on a four-week, 28-day cycle so that each P&L reflects the same number of days each week.

Myth: The most important part of pricing the menu is determining each item’s food cost. Truth: Cost-ing out each item is very important, particularly when determining their gross profit contribution. However, determining what customers will pay in your immediate market is the most important consideration. While not an exact science, shopping the local competition plus an evaluation of your customers’ income levels and spending habits should provide valuable information for a framework on pricing decisions. Also, ask your servers how much they would charge for a menu item. After all, servers are closer to your customers than anyone else.

Myth: Using garbage cans in the kitchen is a good way to dispose of trim and waste. Truth: Smart op-erators use clear plastic food boxes to deposit kitchen scraps and trim. Managers take a moment to inspect the contents of each box at the end of the shift.

Myth: The best accountant in most restaurants is the bookkeeper.

Truth: Actually, it’s usually one of the bartenders. Their accounting skills are honed through years of experience keeping track of liquor usage and unrecorded drink sales with elaborate counting schemes using glasses, stir sticks, toothpicks, pennies, and even olives.

Success TipRestaurants can have menu items that are inexpensive to produce, but which are priced in the same general range as the more expensive dishes. Pasta dishes are an excellent example. It's a good way to balance out profits from the meals that are more expensive to produce.

Cooking, Warming, and Holding with InductionAs a foodservice operator, you are constantly on the lookout for products that can save you time, cut labor or food cost, or differentiate you from your competition. Induction technol-ogy has been around for decades and most operators are at least familiar with the technology, but induction products have grown beyond the single burner units that have replaced butane burners on a Sunday Brunch.

As a bit of a review, induction uses magnetic energy to vi-brate molecules in the magnetic pan to create friction which creates heat. The important thing to remember is that the heat is created in the pan, the unit doesn’t heat at all. This method makes induction cooking and warming an extremely efficient use of energy. If we think of replacing natural gas or propane with induction, it’s easily a 50% increase in efficiency. Just feel the space around a stove that you are cooking on, everything that’s hot is wasted heat. In addition to the energy savings from the unit, you can lower your HVAC requirements because you do not need to exhaust as much air from your kitchen adding to the savings.

Induction technology is being used in more than just primary cooking. New induction units have come out recently designed for buffet warming and soup warmers. These units are designed to use the efficiency of induction to keep foods at serving temperatures with several other advantages.

Induction soup units have several advantages over traditional units. These units keep food hot while maintaining food quality with a heat that’s extremely even around and under the pan. This increases food yield to over 95% versus traditional dry or steam based units that can be as low as 65%. Just think about throwing away that soup that was burnt or the top ring of burnt on mac and cheese, that’s all waste. There is no water to fill or empty out and there are no preheat times needed. Induction is instant heat and the outside of the unit stays cool to the touch for safety.

New induction buffet warmers are stylish low profile warming units designed to use any induction chafer or serving piece including induction cookware for a very trendy and fresh presentation. One of the difficulties in getting away from canned fuel has always been insufficient electrical circuits being available. Because of the efficiency of induction, these units can be very low wattage allowing up to 5 units to be plugged into a stan-dard 15 amp. outlet. A stylish new look, the efficiency of induction, the safety of getting away from open flame and electric hotplates, and the ability to use one outlet to run an entire 5 station buffet, makes upgrading to induction an easy choice.

Like any product, there are choices for quality and price. Low-est cost units can look like a good option as a way to give the technology a try, but like most things, you get what you pay for. Choose units that have heavier duty components, a wide range of power and temperature settings (make sure it can hold below 100°F for chocolates) and are rated to be a commercial unit. Several low cost units in the market are actually residential rated units. NEVER use these!

Intrigue™ Induction ChafersVollrath expands the Intrigue™ line to include Square Induction Chafers and new display stands. Chafers can be used on Induction Ranges or with Vollrath stands. When used on Vollrath stands, chafers can be used with canned fuel or Vollrath’s 46060 Universal Electric Chafer Heater. Glass top version allows viewing of food without opening chafer. Durable 18/8 mirror-finished stain-less steel. Removable cover with baffle hinge design holds cover in closed, 45° or 90° position. Reinforced bracket with rubber table casters keeps chafer in place. Available with stainless steel or porcelain food pans.

Mirage® Buffet Induction WarmersFewer cords! Connect up to 3 units together with an inter-connect cord–and only run one power cord to the outlet on the wall.Use for holding/warming of foods for serving-ideal for banquets and catering. Its subtle, low-profile, attractive design coordinates with any serving setup.• Tempered, black glass top• Touch control, 4 power settings• LED indicator lights on control panel and glass• Convenient storage compartment underneath unit for cords not in use• NSF, FCC, cULus

Myth: Keeping food costs low means larger profit margins.

Truth: Many of the most profitable restaurants in the country have high food costs, some as much as 45 percent to 50 percent. The issue is not how high or low food costs are, but rather how many gross profit dollars your menu items generate. That’s why menu items should be promoted based on their gross profit contribution (dollars) rather than having a low food cost (percentage).
