When it comes to restaurant data, most operators record and track basic sales data, such as tickets, ticket size, tips, and nightly totals for food and beverage. They may be doing this manually, or directly through their point of sale (POS) system. Your average restaurant then takes this basic sales data, copies it into spreadsheets, and hands it over to their accountant to calculate critical financial performance metrics. The accountant then issues periodic reports that allow the restaurant owner to retrospectively know how he did for the past period. Sound familiar? Clearly, this is a state of affairs ripe for positive disruption by next-generation technology.

What’s the one key ingredient – figuratively speaking – of your restaurant’s ultimate success? Some restaurant or bar owners think it’s all about location, location, location. Others may lean toward a loyal customer base. And don’t forget about seasonal swings and capitalizing on the “perfect timing” aspect of sales.
All valid “ingredients,” for sure. But have you considered the importance of menu pricing as a key driver of revenue and profit? Think about it this way: whatever type of eatery you run (restaurant, bar, catering service, food truck, etc.), day in, day out purchases off your menu are the most consistent source of income. And finding the right balance to offer customer value and optimal profit is critical to a profitable enterprise.
