This slim margin is in line with most other types of restaurants, including gourmet fine dining; across the board, restaurants make you work hard for your money. Achieving even this financial surplus usually involves marking up the cost of your ingredients by around 300% &#8211; and remember too you will have substantial one-off start-up costs.<\/p><p>Successful burger business owners compare their ideal food cost percentage with their actual food cost percentage to identify inefficiencies in their day-to-day operations.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.raqtan.com\/en\/how-to-calculate-the-ideal-food-cost-for-your-restaurant\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Raqtan\u2019s step-by-step guide to ideal and actual food cost percentages here<\/a>.<\/p><p>Efficiencies of production are particularly important in the burger business. That\u2019s because making a burger &#8211; whether fast food or gourmet &#8211; involves a large number of standard operations in a production chain (from laying out the patty on the grill at the start to putting on the top part of the bun at the end).\u00a0<\/p><p>If this is a sloppy process, your business will waste time and money EVERY time. But, through good organisation and staff training, you can tighten up these chains to save you money over the long run. \u2018Lean management\u2019 is the perfect management style for a burger business, and you can find plenty of resources about it online.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a784aa6 box-bg-hd elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a784aa6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>2.<\/strong><\/p><h5 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>How should I plan my<\/em><\/strong><br \/><strong><em>burger business?<\/em><\/strong><\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-33513c71 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"33513c71\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Plan your business around a single idea that makes your burgers stand out. For example, you may have heard of burger restaurant I\u2019m Hungry, in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia: its selling point is that it is officially the largest burger restaurant in the world with an area of over 30,000 square feet. That\u2019s a great selling point because it is memorable.<\/p><p>As a new burger maestro, you may have to think smaller (!). But you should, like I\u2019m Hungry, be just as focussed on a single idea &#8211; because single ideas work in marketing. And, let\u2019s face it, the burger sector is crowded with ideas internationally, many of which could take off in the GCC area. You need to have a cutting edge proposition to slice through the rival commercial offers of your competition.<\/p><p>What\u2019s the one thing about your burger service that stands out? Maybe your stand-out point is that you use organic beef? Maybe your specialty is an exotic twist on the usual burger formula? Maybe your brand story makes people feel great? Maybe you simply offer the best value burger for miles around. Whatever your burger business concept, make sure you can explain it to potential customers (and investors) in a single sentence.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-18ccdd6 box-bg-hd elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"18ccdd6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>3.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>What types of burger<\/em><\/strong>\n <strong><em>businesses are<\/em><\/strong>\n <strong><em>there?<\/em><\/strong><\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7591bcca elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7591bcca\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Burger businesses are split between those which are independently owned, and those which are part of a franchise (see below for burger franchising).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6844b49f elementor-align-start elementor-icon-list--layout-traditional elementor-list-item-link-full_width elementor-widget elementor-widget-icon-list\" data-id=\"6844b49f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"icon-list.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"elementor-icon-list-items\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-arrow-circle-right\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\">Fast casual<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7c545c67 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7c545c67\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>A step up from a fast food outlet, fast casual venues offer more burger options and a nicer experience &#8211;
