Profit is not an accident. It’s math.
Math for Restaurants: The Four Steps to Profitability
Most owners believe more sales will solve everything. But in reality, profit comes from controlling just three numbers. We call this the Math for Restaurants framework—a simple, proven system that any restaurant can follow.
1. Define Your Target Monthly Profit
Before you cook, hire, or serve, decide how much you want to earn per month in your business.
Profit is a goal you set—not a surprise at the end of the month.

2. Apply Restaurant Industry Benchmarks
Successful restaurants share common benchmarks: Food Cost ≈ 35%, Staff ≈ 29%, General Expenses ≈ 20% and Profit ≈ 16%
Compare your operation to these standards to know if you’re on track or in danger.

3. Plan Your Key Metrics (KPIs)
Three KPIs control everything:
Food Cost Percentage – how much of each sale is eaten by ingredients.
Average Ticket – the revenue per customer.
Break-Even Point – the number of customers you need to cover costs and profit.

Yes, Really!
Why It Works?
This isn’t theory. The Math for Restaurants framework has been used for decades by operators worldwide.
If you can control Food Cost %, Average Ticket, and Break-Even Point, you can make profit a predictable outcome—not a lucky accident.
The Challenge
Doing all this math manually is exhausting. Owners don’t have time to track every number daily, compare to benchmarks, and coach their team. That’s why so many restaurants fail, even when they understand the theory.
