Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good revenue target for a UK restaurant?

Revenue targets vary hugely by format. A 60-seat casual dining restaurant in London might target £1.2-1.8M annually, whilst a similar venue outside the capital might aim for £600K-1M. Focus on revenue per square foot and RevPASH as better benchmarks than absolute figures.

How can I increase restaurant revenue without raising prices?

Boost average spend through menu engineering, upselling training, and add-on suggestions. Improve table turnover during peak times, expand into delivery and takeaway, launch a gift card programme, and fill quiet periods with events or promotions.
