Y7 Restaurant Accountant
Your Task
1. You will help the Restaurant Accountant
by calculating the cost of the ingredients
and the profit from selling the food.
2. You will also help him calculate how
much to pay his staff (waiters and chef)
3. Finally you might be able to use your
spreadsheet model to tell him how many
waiters he can afford to hire
Stage 1 – Cost of Ingredients
• The ingredients cost 20% of the total price of the meal
• Drinks cost the restaurant 40% of the selling price
• Make a worksheet (tab) in your spreadsheet called costs
and add the meals/drinks and their prices from the
menu.
• Add another column called “COST” and calculate (with a
formula) the cost of each item.
• Finally Add a third column called Profit which is the
PRICE - COST
Example
Fish supper
Vegetarian Lasagne
Price
80000
60000
Coke
Sprite
Wine (glass)
50000
50000
110000
Cost
Profit
Stage 1 Extension
• Use your spreadsheet to calculate how
much profit the restaurant will make in one
night.
• Add a column (QUANTITY) and assumed
that 200 items from the menu were sold
that night (you decide which ones)
• Add up the total costs, the total price paid
by customers and the total profit
Stage 2
• You will need to pay your staff!
A waiter gets paid 40 thousand rupia per night
A cook gets paid 100 thousand
There has to be one waiter for every 10 customers
There has to be one chef for every 10 waiters
Tell me …… how well can you run your restaurant
so that the people are happy and you make a
good profit?
