Food cost kya hota hai?

Food cost = ek plate banane mein kitne ka raw material laga. Food cost % = us lagat ka menu price (GST ke bina) mein hissa.

Food cost % = (cost per plate ÷ menu price bina GST) × 100

Bahut restaurants 25–35% food cost target rakhte hain, taaki baaki paise se rent, staff, gas, bijli aur profit nikle. Sahi target aapke area, dish aur model pe depend karta hai — cloud kitchen, dhaba aur cafe ke numbers alag hote hain.

Target food cost se menu price kaise nikale

Menu price (bina GST) = cost per plate ÷ target %. Phir agar menu pe GST included dikhana hai to × 1.05 (5% GST).

Example 1 — Paneer Butter Masala (4 plates): paneer 500 g @ ₹400/kg = ₹200, butter 50 g @ ₹550/kg = ₹27.50, tomato 400 g @ ₹40/kg = ₹16, onion 200 g @ ₹35/kg = ₹7, cream 100 ml @ ₹220/L = ₹22, kaju 40 g @ ₹900/kg = ₹36, masala + tel ₹25 → total ₹333.50, per plate ₹83.38. ₹280 (bina GST) pe food cost 29.8%. 30% target ke liye price ₹277.92 + 5% GST = ₹291.81.
Example 2 — Masala chai (5 cup): doodh 500 ml @ ₹60/L = ₹30, patti 20 g @ ₹500/kg = ₹10, cheeni 40 g @ ₹45/kg = ₹1.80, adrak 10 g @ ₹120/kg = ₹1.20 → total ₹43, ₹8.60 per cup. ₹20 (GST included) pe price bina GST ₹19.05, food cost 45.2%. 30% target ke liye ₹28.67 bina GST, ₹30.10 GST ke saath.

Sahi costing ke tips

  • Asli khareed rate daalo — pichhle bill ka bhaav, MRP nahi.
  • Cleaning / wastage gino — pyaaz chhilne, chicken saaf karne mein weight kam hota hai. Ya to qty thodi zyada likho, ya "extra cost per plate" mein daalo.
  • Chhoti cheezein mat bhoolo — tel, masala, dhaniya, nimbu. Inko ek line "masala + tel" mein pc rate se daal sakte ho.
  • Har 2–3 mahine update karo — sabzi, paneer, tel ke rate badalte hain; menu price bhi uske saath check karo.

FAQ

Restaurant ke liye achha food cost % kitna hai?

Aam taur pe 25–35% ko healthy mana jaata hai, lekin ye dish aur business model pe depend karta hai. Beverages (chai, coffee, juice) ka food cost aksar kam hota hai, aur premium non-veg dishes ka zyada. Apne poore menu ka average dekho, har dish ka alag nahi.

Food cost % GST ke saath nikalein ya bina?

Bina GST ke. GST aapki kamaai nahi hai — wo sarkar ko jaata hai. Isliye ye calculator menu price se pehle GST hata ke food cost % nikalta hai (agar aapne "GST included" chuna hai).

Restaurant pe GST kitna lagta hai?

Zyada tar standalone restaurants pe 5% GST bina input tax credit (ITC) ke lagta hai. Kuch cases (jaise kuch hotels ke andar ke restaurants, ya outdoor catering) mein rate alag ho sakta hai — apne CA se confirm karo. Calculator mein GST rate badal sakte ho.

Unit alag ho to kya karein — jaise rate per kg aur use grams mein?

Koi dikkat nahi. Kitna use (g, kg, ml, L, pc) aur rate kis unit ka hai (per kg, per L, per pc, per dozen) alag-alag chuno — calculator khud convert karta hai. Sirf weight ko volume se match nahi kar sakta (g vs ml) — waha ek hi type ka unit chuno.

Meri recipes kahan save hoti hain?

Sirf aapke phone/browser mein (localStorage). Kisi server pe nahi jaati. Browser data clear karoge to recipes bhi hat jayengi — zaroori ho to Print karke PDF save kar lo.

Kya ye stock bhi track karta hai?

Ye tool sirf costing ke liye hai. Har bill pe stock apne aap kam karna ho to DukaanKit POS ke recipe feature mein yahi recipe daal sakte ho.
