With our menu featuring over 200 items that are prepared fresh daily in our restaurants and our focus on quality and hospitality, our restaurants are extremely complex to operate, and we set the bar very high in terms of our standards

let’s talk about the business model of large portions in the restaurant business

HMD 101

12

Large Portion Logic

Super sizing is good for the bottom line

Selling a higher price point increases gross margin dollars per transaction

This is true even if the food cost percentage is higher

Gross Margin Dollars from Large Portions

$10.00 item at 25% food cost yields $7.50 in gross margin dollars

$15.00 item at 35% food cost yields $9.75 gross margin dollars

A 30% increase in gross margin dollars per transaction

TCF restaurants are similar, but not exactly alike

Part of experience is enjoying distinctive décor

Color and fun comes from Egyptian columns, hand-blown lighting fixtures, dark cherry wood and brass accents

Hand painted murals are found throughout the restaurants - created by Mary D’Astugues, a former manager; each location has unique murals
