About this Gig
Your best-selling items are not always your most profitable ones.
I analyze restaurant and bar menus to show what is selling, what is making money, what is underperforming, and what should change to improve profitability.
What I analyze:
- Item popularity and profit contribution
- Pricing and cost issues
- Stars, Puzzles, Plowhorses & Dogs
- Weak or underperforming items
- Menu balance and category performance
- Opportunities to improve pricing and item placement
What you receive:
Depending on your package, you may receive a Menu Engineering Matrix, item-by-item analysis, pricing recommendations, profit opportunities, priority fixes, and a clear action plan showing what to keep, change, promote, reprice, or remove.
What I need:
Ideally, send your current menu, 3090 days of sales data, and recipe costs or ingredient costs where available. If some data is missing, contact me first.
I bring 10+ years of hands-on hospitality, beverage management, menu development, and operations experience, combining commercial analysis with practical F&B knowledge.
Please check package item limits before ordering. Custom offers are available for larger menus or multiple outlets.

FAQ
1. What do you need from me to start?
Please send your current menu, recipe specs or ingredient costs, and sales data if available. If you do not have full sales data, I can still review pricing, menu structure, descriptions, and cost logic.
2. Can you work without sales data?
Yes. Sales data improves the analysis, but it is not mandatory. If sales reports are not available, I can still audit your menu based on costs, pricing, structure, descriptions, and operational logic.
3. What will I receive?
You will receive a clear audit with findings, priorities, and practical recommendations based on your package. This may include pricing gaps, weak items, high-potential items, description fixes, and actions to improve profit and menu performance.
4. Do you work only with bars?
This gig is built mainly for bars, cocktail bars, hotel bars, and restaurants with beverage menus. If your business is hospitality-related, message me before ordering and I will confirm fit.
5. What if my menu is larger than the package limit?
If your menu has more items than the package includes, please message me before ordering. I can review the scope and suggest the best option for your menu size.
6. Is my menu data kept confidential?
Yes. Your menu, pricing, and sales information are treated as confidential and used only for the purpose of this audit.
