Classify every dish as Star, Puzzle, Workhorse, or Dog — and reprice accordingly.
A repricing plan based on real sales data — not gut. Margin goes up without raising prices on everything.
The idea
Menu engineering — knowing which dishes are stars (high margin, high sales), dogs, puzzles, and workhorses — separates restaurants that survive from those that drift. AI does the analysis in minutes from your POS export.
The win: 3-7% margin lift without raising prices on everything.
