It is normal for the catering industry to achieve a gross profit margin of 50% to 60%.

Gross profit is the income after all expenses, such as employee salaries, utilities and taxes. For example, at the end of the day, you have 1000 yuan in your cash box, which is gross profit; After deducting all expenses such as salary, utilities, tax and rent, you save net profit. If you deduct the above and 600 yuan, that's what you earn. In addition to the cost of ingredients, the hard expenditure of restaurants is also labor. The more complete and large-scale restaurants in all aspects, the higher the manpower of their stores. We should be clear that labor costs include not only wages, but also bonuses, overtime pay, rewards and related welfare expenses such as organizational learning, training and growth. For a slightly larger restaurant with better business, the labor cost is almost above 25%. Different business types and formats have different water and electricity costs. If it is a shopping mall, the cost is generally higher than that of a street shop. Most shopping malls are not allowed to use natural gas, so they can only use electricity; The gas cost of Chinese food is much higher than other categories, because Chinese food involves the high-frequency use of stoves and so on. Rental costs include not only restaurant rental costs, but also employee dormitory rental costs. As well as site property management fees, garbage clearing fees and other incidental expenses incurred by the site.

Generally speaking, the gross profit margin of the catering industry is about 60%, the rental cost is 20%-30%, the labor cost accounts for 15%-20%, and the net profit is 15%-25%.
