Nationally Restaurants Average Spend Looks Like...

Labor Costs 30%
Overhead (Fixed) Costs 30%
Cost of Goods 30%

Leaving an average profit of ~10% for the operator depending on variation in the above spend.

National chains have an advantage, but why?

Generally, they have negotiating power, which comes with scale, and a Director of Purchasing.

This allows national chains to negotiate better leases, manage labor effectively, and lower their cost of goods.

Independents don't typically have access to these resources. 

The Bottom Line is...

National Chains earn 10 to 15 cents per dollar of revenue.
Independents earn 3 to 5 cents per dollar of revenue.
