Restaurant and bar menu optimisation

See what the menu sells—and what it earns.

Forkestra brings item sales, popularity, recipe cost, and margin into one menu optimisation view. Find the items worth protecting, the ones that need work, and the changes worth testing.

  • Current recipe costs and margins
  • Clear optimisation opportunities

Menu analysis should lead somewhere useful.

A bestseller is not always a strong earner, and a high-margin item is not useful if nobody orders it. Forkestra helps you read popularity and contribution together, with the recipe and cost detail close by.

Read the mix

Compare popularity, sales contribution, and performance across items and categories.

Protect the margin

Keep item performance connected to current recipe and ingredient costs.

Find the opportunity

Spot items to feature, rework, reposition, or remove from the active mix.

Talk it through with Dom

Ask what changed, compare options, and have Dom prepare the next step when the decision is clear.

Item evidence

See popularity and margin together.

Read the menu mix, open the selected item, and understand the role it plays before changing it.

How it works

Move from item data to a better menu decision.

Use the optimisation view directly or start with a question for Dom.

  1. Measure

    Bring sales, popularity, recipe cost, and margin together by item.

  2. Compare

    See where performance changed and which part of the mix is responsible.

  3. Improve

    Prepare the menu action and follow the result after the change.

For independent operators

Optimise the menu before you publish it.

The digital QR menu and designer are included in Air. Pro and Max add menu optimisation and AI content, keeping the internal decision and the guest-facing result in the same platform.

Before you start.

What does Forkestra use for menu optimisation?

Forkestra connects item sales and popularity with recipes, costs, margins, categories, and historical performance so you can evaluate the whole item, not one number.

Is menu optimisation included in Pro?

Yes. Full menu optimisation is included in Pro and Max. The digital QR menu and designer are included in Air too.

Does optimisation automatically change the menu?

No. Forkestra surfaces the evidence and opportunity. You decide what changes and when it should go live.

Give every menu item a clearer role.
