Menu Engineering & Optimization
"Your menu is your most powerful revenue lever. Most operators never use it."

ANALYSIS // FRICTION_POINT ERR_V.001
The Friction Point
Most menus are built by chefs, not strategists. Items are priced by intuition, placed by habit, and removed by complaint. The result is a menu that feels complete but performs poorly — with low-margin dishes cannibalizing revenue and high-margin items buried where guests never look.

How We Resolve It
We start with your POS data. Every item gets a full P&L — food cost, labour cost, contribution margin, and sales velocity. We overlay consumer psychology: what guests actually read, what they order first, what language triggers decisions. We then apply strategic pricing architecture — not just raising prices, but restructuring how value is communicated across every category.
