Unfortunately, not always true. If you have an item with a particularly low food cost, but it doesn't sell, then it is not profitable. Plus, if I make $4.00 on one item, but $10.00 on another item (selling equal amounts of both) then the item on which my margin is $10.00 is more profitable regardless of the food cost percentage. |
Why would any chef put an item on the menu that does not sell?
