Operational context

The Menu Engineering module applies the BCG matrix (classic in strategic consulting) to the restaurant menu: each dish is classified into four quadrants based on popularity × margin — Stars (high popularity + high margin), Plowhorses (high popularity + low margin), Puzzles (low popularity + high margin), Dogs (low popularity + low margin). It cross-references real POS data (sales) with food cost calculated by the stock module. The analysis enables clear decisions: promote more Stars, reformulate Puzzles, discontinue Dogs, optimise Plowhorses. Available in Restaurants & Bars Premium and above.
