I will create restaurant food costing, menu engineering and excel tools
Restaurant Cost Control and Excel Support
About this Gig
Are rising ingredient costs reducing your restaurant's profit? Are your menu prices based on accurate numbers or guesswork?
I will create a practical, easy-to-use Excel system that helps you understand recipe costs, food-cost percentages, contribution margins and menu profitability.
With 18 years of professional kitchen and restaurant leadership experience, I understand that a useful spreadsheet must work in a real restaurant, not just look good on paper.
Depending on the package, I can help with:
- Recipe and portion costing
- Food-cost percentage calculations
- Selling-price recommendations
- Menu-engineering and profitability analysis
- Contribution-margin calculations
- Inventory and purchasing trackers
- Labor-cost planning
- Clear dashboards and management reports
You will receive an organized Excel workbook with clear input areas, working formulas and practical results that support better operational decisions.
The system can be adapted to your currency, measurement units, restaurant concept and available data.
For complex menus or custom operational projects, please contact me before ordering so I can recommend the correct package.

FAQ
What information do you need from me?
I normally need your recipes, ingredient quantities, supplier prices, package sizes and preferred currency. For menu-engineering analysis, sales quantities or item-popularity data are also useful.
Can you work with any currency and measurement system?
Yes. The workbook can be adapted to your currency and to metric or US measurement units.
Can you customize the spreadsheet for my restaurant?
Yes. I can adjust the layout, categories, calculations and reporting to match your restaurant concept and workflow.
Can you analyze my existing menu?
Yes. If you provide recipe costs, selling prices and sales data, I can identify high- and low-performing menu items and provide practical recommendations.
Is this accounting or tax advice?
No. This service provides operational cost-control and decision-support tools for restaurants. It is not legal, tax or certified accounting advice.
