See How Your Menu Lies To You

Are your best-selling menu items actually making you money?

Many restaurant owners assume that if something sells well, it must be profitable. The truth? Some of the most popular dishes on a menu can quietly destroy margins, slow down kitchens, and create inconsistency in execution.

In this video, Chef Ed breaks down one of the biggest mistakes restaurant owners make: confusing popularity with profitability.

You’ll learn why menu size directly impacts kitchen performance, how too many SKUs can hurt food quality, and why giving customers endless choices often backfires.

If your kitchen feels chaotic, your food cost is creeping up, or your team struggles to maintain consistency, your menu might be the real problem.

In this video, you’ll learn:
• Why top-selling items aren’t always your most profitable
• The hidden cost of oversized menus
• Why restaurant owners often overestimate how much choice customers actually want
• How too many SKUs destroy kitchen consistency and efficiency
• How simplifying your menu can improve food quality and profits

A focused menu doesn’t limit your restaurant, it strengthens your execution.

If you want a restaurant that runs smoother, serves better food, and protects your margins, this is a conversation you need to hear.
