Optimization tips
Menu engineering70/30 rule: ~70% of revenue should come from ~30% of your SKUs. Mark signature and star dishes clearly on the menu.
Menu engineeringAnchor pricing: your highest-priced main should be 1.8–2.5× your median main — it makes mid-tier items feel like value.
Menu engineeringIngredient overlap: design so your top 5 ingredients appear in 60%+ of dishes. Fewer vendors, lower waste.
Menu engineeringSection caps: don't exceed 8–10 items per section at launch. A smaller, consistent menu beats a sprawling one.
Menu engineeringReserve 2–3 menu slots for seasonal/festival swaps — don't rebuild the whole menu every quarter.
Menu engineeringAttach rate: every main should have a natural beverage or dessert upsell. Train staff on one-line upsells.
Format tipSweet shop: mithai + namkeen + festival SKUs. 60% of sales in 8 festival weeks.
Format tipPre-book Diwali/holi boxes 3 weeks ahead — it's your cash-flow lifeline.
Format tipGhee + milk + sugar are your three cost lines — lock festival-season contracts early.
