Year-end is a pivotal time for restaurants to secure financial health. Here’s how to boost margins effectively: Portion Control: Standardize servings to minimize waste and manage costs while maintaining quality. Labor Efficiency: Schedule staff based on demand to reduce overstaffing while delivering great service. Strategic Pricing: Incrementally raise prices on customer favorites—small increases add up without losing loyalty. Implementing these strategies can help reduce costs, increase profits, and set your restaurant up for long-term growth. Take the first step toward maximizing your margins with our Margember Series.
