Price and increase

$

%

New price = current price x (1 + increase rate). Food cost = cost / new price.

Why you need this

When supplier costs rise, guessing a menu increase can leave food cost in the wrong place. A small percentage shift moves monthly profit.

This tool uses new price = old price x (1 + increase rate), then recalculates food cost = portion cost / new price.

How it is calculated

New price = current price x (1 + increase rate / 100). Price delta = new price - current price. Old food cost = cost / current price. New food cost = cost / new price. Gross contribution is price minus cost.

Inputs suit VAT-exclusive planning; if you use a gross menu price, extract VAT first.

How to read the result

New price is what you would print after the increase. If food cost falls, the same cost leaves more room; if it still sits above target, revisit the increase rate or portion size.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does increase rate mean?

The percent added to the current price. At 10 percent, the new price is 1.10 times the current price.

Why does food cost fall?

If cost stays flat and price rises, cost as a share of price shrinks. If cost also rose, enter the new cost first.

Should I use a VAT-inclusive price?

VAT-exclusive amounts give clearer planning results. A gross price can distort the food cost rate.

Does this raise the whole menu at once?

No. It scenarios one item or an average line. For a full menu, run items separately or use an average.
