प्रो टिप्स
Profit margin calculator use karein. Har product ka margin alag calculate karein. Pav bhaji 55% lekin cold drinks sirf 20% margin deta hai.
Menu engineering karein. High margin items promote karein. Low margin items replace karein ya price badhao.
Daily expense track karein. Gas, vegetables ka price fluctuate hota hai. Monthly average nahi, weekly check karein.
सामान्य गलतियाँ
Sabse badi galti: Sirf raw material cost dekhna. Rent, gas, labour, licence sab add karein. Gross margin misleading hai.
Doosri galti: Price badhane se darna. ₹20 se ₹25 karein to customers may complain but most will stay. Test karein.
Teesri galti: Competition ke price ki blindly follow karna. Unka cost structure alag ho sakta hai. Apna margin calculate karein.
