The Menu Matrix

from Plating Profit · host Steven Bonin

In this episode of Plating P.R.O.F.I.T., Steven shows how four “perfectly fine” salads quietly dragged down his prime cost—and how a simple menu matrix turned that same case into a higher‑margin, lower‑waste engine. You’ll see how to classify your dishes as Stars, Workhorses, Puzzles, or Dogs, and use a free AI‑powered tool to run the numbers on your own menu in under ten minutes.
