Free Restaurant Profit Margin Calculator

Enter your restaurant name and see, in dollars, where your margin is going. The Restaurant Codex margin check finds you on the map, reads your category, price level and posted hours from the listing, asks four short questions covering monthly sales, how many locations you run, your food cost and your labor cost, then compares you against the operating medians published by the National Restaurant Association. You get a breakdown of where every dollar of sales goes in your segment with your own food and labor costs set against the median operator, an annual dollar range for food thrown out in the kitchen, plates going out over recipe spec, the labor gap between profitable operators and the median, and the cost of replacing hourly staff, plus your margin before and after. Every figure links to a named public source. Free, no account, about sixty seconds.
