Free tools / Supplier price change
Your supplier raised a price. What does it cost you?
Enter the old and new price of one ingredient and the menu item it goes into. See the cost per item and per year, and the menu price that covers it.
This example shows chicken going up $0.40/lb in an 8-piece bucket. Replace it with yours.
1The price change
A 40 lb case at $82 is $2.05/lb
2The menu item
Small changes add up
A few cents per item doesn’t look like much until you multiply it by every item you sell in a year. That’s the number to make your decision with.
Two ways to reprice
Same profit passes the exact cost increase to the menu price. Same food cost % keeps your margin percentage, which matters more if prices keep climbing.
Other options
You don’t have to raise the price. You can adjust the portion, switch suppliers, or push higher-margin items. Knowing the real cost helps you pick.
