Price can be a sensitive issue. If priced too high, a dish may not sell or customers may complain or not return to the
business as they may feel they have not received value for money. Alternately, if a dish is underpriced and does not
make a profit, the business will be damaged financially and will face problems in the future if it does not rectify the
situation. A method to ensure that a profit margin is achieved is to build a target percentage of gross profit into the selling price.
Selling Price
For example, if the food costs for a dish total £3.00 and a gross profit target is set at 70%, the food costs as a percentage of the selling price can only represent 30%. It is important to note that the selling price is the total amount of money that will be received so this has to represent 100% for the purpose of this calculation. In basic terms, food costs + gross profit = selling price.

To calculate the selling price on this basis, the food costs have to be expressed as a percentage of the selling price using the following calculation. Food cost ÷ Food cost as a % of the selling price × 100
For example, if food costs for a dish come to £4.50 and the gross profit target is 75%, the food cost as a percentage of
the targeted sale is 25%.
To calculate the selling price based on this information:
£4.50/25× 100 = £18.00.
By dividing £4.50 by 25, this brings the figure down to 1% of the selling price (£0.18). By then multiplying by 100, it brings the figure up to 100%, the selling price (£18.00). As long as you have the food cost and the target gross profit percentage, this is sufficient information to calculate the selling price.
