About this Gig
Are you launching a restaurant or struggling with unmonitored Food Costs? Simply multiplying raw costs by a fixed number does not protect your margins against supplier price hikes or waste.
As an F&B consultant, I will build an interactive, automated Excel model to control your costs and maximize profitability.
What I Will Do:
- Master Ingredient Database: Supplier catalog logging costs, yield %, and unit conversions.
- Standardized Recipe Costing: Accurate cost cards for dishes, drinks, and desserts.
- Yield & Waste Analysis: Factor in trim loss to determine Real Unit Cost.
- Dynamic Pricing Engine: Calculate contribution margins based on target Food Cost % and VAT.
- Menu Engineering Matrix: Classify dishes into Stars, Plowhorses, Puzzles, and Dogs.
Deliverables:
- Interactive Excel Master Workbook: Auto-recalculates menu costs when vendor prices change.
- Executive Summary Report (PDF): Operational guide with your top profitable items.
- Please contact me before ordering!

FAQ
What information do I need to provide to get started?
You need to provide your menu item list (recipes/ingredients) and supplier invoices or ingredient costs. If you have estimated portion sizes, that’s great—otherwise, I will help you standardize them during the audit.
Will I be able to update ingredient prices myself in the future?
Yes! I deliver an interactive Excel master model. You can easily update any ingredient cost in the master database, and the entire workbook will automatically recalculate recipe costs and margins.
Do you analyze beverage, coffee, and dessert programs too?
Absolutely. The model covers kitchen food dishes, dessert items, coffee/tea programs, draft beer systems, wine lists, and spirits/cocktails.
My menu size is different from the packages. Can you send a custom offer?
Yes, definitely. Every food business is unique. Please send me a message with your menu details, and I will gladly create a tailored custom offer that fits your exact scope and budget.
