Financial control for restaurants

This week at your restaurant

Changes vs. previous week

Sales are up, but food cost crept to 32% and your margin slipped. Your Deliveroo commission is the one thing to watch this week.

Your Deliveroo rate crept up this month

Effective commission hit 31.4% this month, up 1.2 points, against the 25-30% most independents pay. Worth a rate check or a price pass on your delivery menu.

Is my restaurant more profitable than it was in spring?

Yes: your operating margin has averaged 12.4% over the last 13 weeks, up from 11.1%. Sales are up 4% and staff costs are down 0.8 points. The main drag is delivery commissions, which crept to 26.1% and cost you £1,840 last month.
