The survival math behind Vancouver's independent restaurant scene — and why cheap food is never actually cheap. Phil and Kenny sit down with Robert Belcham — a 35-year Vancouver chef, restaurateur behind Campanolo, Monarch Burger, and Poppina Canteen, and board member of the Chef's Table Society of BC — for one of the most candid conversations about the business of food we've ever had on This Commerce Life. Robert pulls back the curtain on what it actually takes to keep a restaurant alive in one of Canada's most expensive cities: the unforgiving margins, the perception-of-value trap that operators fall into, why independent restaurants are chronically underpricing themselves, and what it would take for the whole industry to collectively raise prices and survive.

Sibusiso Mboto, Advocacy Coordinator at the Pietermaritzburg Economic Justice and Dignity Group, speaks to John Maytham about the latest increases in paraffin and gas prices, including a 44 cents per litre hike in illuminating paraffin and a R1.06 per kilogram rise in gas, and what this means for low-income households. The conversation focuses on how rising energy costs are driving up the cost of preparing food, placing additional strain on already tight budgets, and deepening food insecurity as families are forced to make difficult trade-offs between basic necessities.

His show serves a round-up of local and international news coupled with the latest in business, sport, traffic and weather.

December is supposed to save your year, but for a lot of bars it quietly becomes the month with the biggest waste bill.You're packed, bottles are flying, the kitchen is slammed, and somehow the money left over never matches how hard you worked.In this episode, we walk through a simple 48-hour December bar waste audit that shows you exactly how much you're losing to over-pouring, spoilage, shrinkage, and messy inventory.You'll hear how to match what actually left the shelves with your food cost and pour cost, spot red flags in prep and ordering, and tighten things up without slowing service or becoming the “bad guy” on shift.The goal is simple: actually keep the extra December profit instead of watching it disappear into the trash, the sink, and the write-offs.

Sarah Baker Hansen recently wrote an article for the Flat Water Free Press titled “As food costs rise, local restaurants — and diners who support them — adjust to paying more” At a time when we've seen a lot of restaurant closures, this article might just ring true with a lot of owners and diners. Coincidentally, just hours before we went in studio a noted local restaurant that was even featured on Food Network announced it was closing. We talked about the article, the varied factors affecting restaurants, and more including a local spot serving soup dumplings. Hang on to your fork and listen if you're hungry. !

Does this sound too good to be true? I promise you, it's not. In this episode of my podcast, The Restaurant Prosperity Formula, I explain what kind of information you need to gather, where to get the information, what to do with it and what you can expect when you use it the way I explain.

I am sure you've been told you need to calculate your food cost. Heck, you've probably heard from several experts that your food cost target is a 34% food cost, or that you're supposed to mark up each of your food items on your menu 3 times. Well, neither of these methods are correct. Flush them from your mind because they are total BS. In this episode of The Restaurant Prosperity Formula, I will explain why those approaches are wrong and why it's important to know your food cost. I'll also explain what you should be doing to calculate your food cost, including the three food cost calculations you must know to control your food cost: budgeted food cost, actual food cost and ideal food cost. You'll learn how comparing all three of these numbers will allow you, for the first time in your restaurant life, to gain valuable insights into your menu that will allow you to virtually unlock your profit potential. Listen now to unlock your restaurant's profits with the three food cost calculations.
I see the question "how do I determine food cost" a dozen times a week. Sadly someone attempting to be helpful will say "three times cost". That is a 33% food cost and has not been a serious restaurant goal since 1980. It is time to bury this zombie advice.

It doesn't matter if you're brand new to the restaurant business or you're a seasoned veteran, food cost challenges will plague you. From regular price increases on a variety of products to natural disasters that drive prices up on commodities like chicken and oranges. Here's the deal, though. You can count on the prices you're paying for food to fluctuate and to increase dramatically without much warning. That's a given and it's out of your control. In this episode of my podcast, The Restaurant Prosperity Formula, I am talking about what you can control. Most restaurants operate 7-9% above their ideal food cost and, in most cases, it's due to a lack of systems and a lack of leadership. Listen in for the full explanation along with the kitchen systems you can use to lower your restaurant food cost and lead your restaurant success.
The start of a new year is always a good time for restaurants to evaluate and update menus for profitability. But, as you'll hear in this episode, given inflation and rising overhead costs, it's best to build this task into your regular workflow, helping ensure your menu consistently meets expectations and desired margins. Menu management is one of Josh's favorite parts of the job. In this episode, he draws from his years of hands-on experience consulting with restaurant operators to share key takeaways. With more and more operators working IN their restaurants lately, it's important to remember to set aside adequate time to work ON your business.For more factors to consider when adjusting menu prices in 2023, check out Luke's article "New Year, New Menu Prices."And for more about restaurant menus, marketing, and profitable strategies for your restaurant check out our blog.

A common question I get from restaurant owners is, “Why is my actual food cost so high and why is it so much more than my ideal food cost?” The second part of that question is what to do if your actual food cost is running much higher than your ideal food cost. These are age-old questions in the restaurant industry and a puzzle to be worked out so every week you have a higher chance of making money. In this episode of “The Restaurant Prosperity Formula,” I teach you how to calculate your ideal and actual food costs and what systems and data you need to calculate them properly. I also talk about why these two numbers are so important to making money and the kinds of things you can do to get the numbers to line up more closely. Plus I offer you a series of kitchen systems you can put in place to control your food cost and run a tighter operation.
