The cost you can’t see

Food businesses are bleeding cost, invisibly.

15–25%

higher cost than required. For an outlet doing ₹15–30 L a month, that excess is roughly the entire profit — the difference between operating and shutting down.

What Costonomy watches

Three places your margin leaks. Costonomy helps you cut cost in all three.

Most food cost is lost before a dish reaches the table: in what you pay, in how much you use, and in how each plate is made.

Online & dine-in

Every order gets delivered. Does your margin?

Have you ever really tracked your online numbers? Delivery is now a big part of every kitchen’s sales, and the hardest to read. Discounts, commission, packaging and food cost all come out before the payout lands.

Week of 25–31 Oct. Percentages are of gross sales. “You keep” is after discounts, commission, packaging and food cost.

Working · Zomato

No-discount combos are your best online orders.

Biryani combos kept ₹168 an order, with no discount running.

Not working · Swiggy

The 40%-off campaign is losing money.

84 orders on Tue–Thu lost ₹18 each after commission, packaging and food cost: ₹1,512 for the week.

What to change

Cap the Swiggy discount at ₹75 an order.

Or end the campaign and promote combos instead. Switching to the ₹16 container saves another ₹2,622 a week across 437 orders.

The usual way vs. Costonomy

Built to move at outlet speed.

Cost control fails when the tooling is slower than the kitchen. Every one of these exists because the usual way is too slow to change an outcome.
