Best Answer

If you know the food cost against sales, it is 100*(food cost)/sales.

If you do not know food cost or sales, you cannot know the answer.

What formula do you use in the food business to figure how much over and above food cost to make profit?

Theoretically you always want to keep your real food cost below 33% of your food sales. To figure out your food cost percentage you simply divide your cost of food by your food sales, then move the decimal. I aim for a 28% food cost in the hopes that it falls at or below 33% in reality. If your real food cost is below 33% and your other areas of cost are under control, you should be turning a profit.
