Location as an Asset: Structuring Your Pricing When a Flat Rate No Longer Works

In 2025, food consumption outside the home grew by 4.2% to reach €128.3 billion, without serving a single additional meal: 11.97 billion meals, with stable customer traffic (Gira, May 2026). Chain restaurants attempted to regain customer traffic: a 1% increase in meals led to a 3.3% increase in revenue, at the expense of their margins. Meanwhile, the average profit margin for a restaurant fell from 11% to 3% of revenue.

This white paper shows how to manage a menu like a portfolio: assign each dish a unique role (flagship, margin driver, or volume driver); cross-reference sales with actual margin before setting a price; establish a floor-target-ceiling range; and then tailor the approach by channel, segment, and location. Audited figures from 2024 to 2026 (Gira, GHR Observatory conducted with Food Service Vision, Altares, Rydge Barometer).
