Menu engineering is the process of analyzing item profitability and popularity across all locations to optimize menu mix. A multi-unit group needs methods that account for volume differences, local pricing, and supply chain variance so the same menu item performs consistently across every restaurant. The core goal is to maximize contribution margin per seat while maintaining brand consistency across the group.
