Prime cost is the combination of your cost of goods sold (food and beverage cost) and your labor cost, including taxes, benefits and insurance. The ideal prime cost is 55%.   It doesn\'t matter how you break those points up between the two categories as long as you get to 55%. That means your labor can be 30% as long as your cost of goods sold is 25% and vice versa. Any combination works, as long as you stay at or below 55%.   YOU have to develop a budget that tells you what your actual costs are and what your ideal costs are.  There are many moving parts including your recipe costing cards that tell you what your ideal food cost is and your menu mix that tells you what people are actually purchasing tells you what your food cost should be.   When you have all three, you have the path to determining what a good food cost is for your restaurant.   Let us help you find these numbers in your restaurant. TheRestaurantExpert.com offers restaurant management software that helps you automate these processes so you can keep your prime cost in check, ensuring you make money in your restaurant.   ************************* *************************  For more on this topic, visit our blog at  http://bit.ly/2cbuMjp  STAY IN TOUCH  http://therestaurantexpert.com/free-e-newsletter/  FACEBOOK FOLLOW! http://facebook.com/therestaurantexpert  SUSBCRIBE http://bit.ly/2cYOIfr'
