You should be raising prices on your menu every single month. But not on every dish... just a handful of dishes. By understanding the real time plate costs of what you serve you can use pricing as a tool to maintain profitability. Every month, you should be increasing the prices of 5-10% of your items.   *****   If you want to snag a copy of Chip's book, The Restaurant Marketing Mindset...  CLICK HERE: https://www.therestaurantmarketingmindset.com/   If you're ready to learn more about the P3 Mastermind...

But it's the only way. If you want to work up to it, trying getting off the grid 1 day a week for the next 3 months. By the end you'll be ready for your 90-day sabbatical.   *****  If you want to snag a copy of Chip's book, The Restaurant Marketing Mindset...  CLICK HERE: https://www.therestaurantmarketingmindset.com/ If you're ready to learn more about the P3 Mastermind...
