Give you some examples of common dishes:
Vinegar potato chips
The price of potatoes in the market is generally one yuan a catty, and it may be a few cents a catty if it is wholesale. A plate of fried shredded potatoes is a medium-sized potato with some seasoning.
A potato is fifty cents, which is the seasoning of oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, water, electricity and gas. So the cost of a plate of shredded potatoes is one yuan, while a plate of shredded potatoes in a restaurant can sell for seven yuan if it is cheap, and the profit is six yuan.
Of course, these six dollars may also spread to hotel rent, workers' wages, property fees and so on. But even so, the final net profit can reach about three yuan.
Profit is three times the cost, not profiteering?
scrambled eggs with tomatoes
One tomato costs about one yuan, and the cost of two eggs is about one and a half yuan, so the total cost should be about three yuan. A plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes in a restaurant can be sold for more than eight yuan, and the net profit is 2-3 times the cost.
Boiled fish with Chinese sauerkraut and Chili
A piece of Longli fish sold in the supermarket can make a large pot of pickled fish, which is about ten yuan. Adding two yuan of pickled cabbage and other condiments, the cost of a pot of pickled fish is about twelve or three yuan.
The price of a pot of pickled fish in the restaurant is around 40 yuan, and the profit is 2-3 times the cost.
Garlic oil vegetables.
This vegetable is actually more profitable. You can buy a large bundle of seasonal vegetables for one dollar, and then you can only use a few dishes for one dish. This big bundle of vegetables can't be sold out in one day.
In this way, the cost of a dish of garlic, oil and wheat vegetables may be less than one yuan, but it can be sold for about eight yuan, and the profit is higher, which is more than four times the cost.
Spicy hot bean curd
A piece of tofu costs two yuan, but you can make two pieces of Mapo tofu. Counting other seasonings, a dish of Mapo tofu costs less than two yuan, and then it can be sold for ten yuan. Excluding all costs, the profit can still reach more than 4 times.
In fact, the restaurant's food is highly profitable, which is recognized. That's why we don't eat takeout to save money, and then we have to buy food and go home to cook for ourselves. You can save a lot of labor costs if you cook by yourself. The food in the restaurant is expensive in the chef's skill, and cooking by yourself can save almost half the cost. People who can make a living cook at home by themselves. After decades of training, their cooking should not be bad.
