What is the average restaurant food cost?

Answer 1

The average price of eating at a restaurant is usually about $55. From, Kendall Sellinger, age 11 It depends on 2 things, what state you live in, and the quality of the restaurant. A cheap restaurant per person, ranges anywhere from $8.00 - $14.00, a mid-range (i.e. Carrabba's") goes for about $15.00 - $24.00, and then you got high end (something unique to a city like Morton's of Chicago) would be about $25.00 - $75.00 per person. Hope this helps. YO

Answer 2

The average price of a restaurant meal in the United States is roughly $10 per person. The general range of individual meals runs from $5.00 per person (e.g. a sandwich and a side for lunch) to $25.00 per person (e.g. a steak dinner.) The cost of a meal varies depending on many circumstances, such as:

- Breakfast and lunch meals are usually cheaper than dinner meals.

- Appetizers, desserts, and drinks will increase the cost of a meal. (An appetizer or a dessert can sometimes cost as much as an entree.) - Fine dining or gourmet restaurants charge more than chain and family restaurants. - Steak and seafood usually carry a higher price than other entree selections.

- Fast food restaurants are much cheaper than restaurants with menus, tables and servers. These restaurants often have "value menus" with individual items for around $1.00 each. - Children and senior citizens often receive discounts on the cost of their meals.

Answer 3

=For instance you go to a CI-CI's Pizza and pay 4.99 for each of your family members. Say you have 5 in the family. The restaurant wants you to buy the drinks for 1.29/each (which I don't, but everyone else in the family does) So 5 members paying 4.99 = 24.95 plus 1.29 X 4 = 5.16 + 24.95 = 30.11 plus taxSo you paid 30.11 and the restaurant is hoping you leave eating less than 26% or 7.82 worth of food, or possibly up to 32% which would be 9.65 from their inventory of food.

The labor cost is minimal, probably 23% which would equate to 6.92.

That 6.92 plus 9.65 + other overhead and you see the restaurant ain't doing too bad. Unfortunately, they pay probably $3000/month for rent, another $1000/mo. for utilities and a bunch for advertising which all chips away at the remaining $13.50 from your dinner bill.

Answer 4

It depends on what kind of restaurant. Some inexpensive restaurants can provide you with a full meal for under $5, whereas some higher end restaurants may charge you up to $500!

The food cost ranges from 20 to 40%. There is no right answer.

What is right is whether its right for your business.

I would recommend to measure food cost per customer. This is abetter indiactor.

Whats needs to be determined whether the gross margin per customer ir

Revenue per customer minus Fodd cost per customer is adequate for you to meet all costs and earn you a profit.

Its possible for a restaurabtr to have a low food cost and low profitability and a high food cost but better profitability.

Dont fall into trap of food cost. understand cost per customer and focus on gross margins.
