The Profit Wheel

Dial Up Your Profits

Most food producers and processors are familiar with calculating mark up. To negotiate effectively with your customers you need to understand how they calculate margin. You could be leaving many dollars on the table if you don’t understand their math.

Mark up and margin are often confused; they are not the same thing. Suppliers use mark up to ensure they achieve the desired level of profit, based on their costs. Retailers use margin percentages based on the selling price because they know what the consumer will pay and they have to charge enough to cover their costs.

The SKUFood profit wheel is a very effective tool to help you understand the difference and calculate the right answer.
