The Exact Menu Engineering Framework That Can Boost Your Profits 15–30%
One of the fastest ways to increase your restaurant's bottom line without spending a dime on marketing or new staff? Menu Engineering.
Most owners just list dishes and hope for the best. But top performers treat their menu like a profit machine—categorizing items into Stars, Plowhorses, Puzzles, and Dogs to make smarter decisions on pricing, placement, and promotion.
Here's a quick breakdown ):
  1. Stars (High Profit + High Sales): Your winners—promote heavily!
  2. Plowhorses (Low Profit + High Sales): Reliable sellers—consider small price tweaks or cost reductions.
  3. Puzzles (High Profit + Low Sales): Hidden gems—highlight with descriptions, photos, or specials.
  4. Dogs (Low Profit + Low Sales): Phase out or revamp.
Pro Tip: Combine this with a "Grand Slam Offer" style bundle (e.g., high-margin Puzzle + popular Plowhorse) to drive upsells and make customers feel like they're getting a deal.
