Goan pricing in Guwahati
Goan cuisine runs a 30-38% food cost band when executed well. The most-missed cost line: pomfret + kingfish seasonal variance is huge.
For Guwahati specifically: Bihu peaks; NE seafood and rice culture.
Worked example: Butter Chicken comes out to a plate cost of ₹82 and a recommended price of ₹320 at a 30% food cost target. The minimum viable price is ₹275 — below this, you're losing money on every plate after kitchen labour.
Next: run the viability score for Goan × Guwahati, and check the opening cost for Guwahati.
