Benchmarks are directional estimates by segment, shown as quartile bands — a yardstick, not audited figures. Money values convert from USD at an indicative rate.

What the percentiles mean and how to read your result.
They are informed estimates for each restaurant segment, expressed as quartile bands (bottom, median, top). They are a directional yardstick for a restaurateur or F&B manager, not audited accounts — use them to see roughly where you stand, then dig into your own numbers.
Your percentile is where your number would sit among venues in the same segment. 50th is the median; 75th and up is the top quartile. For cost metrics (food cost, labour) a lower number ranks higher, because spending less on the same sales is better.
Money benchmarks are held in USD and converted to your market's currency at an indicative rate, matching the country in the switcher. Type your figures in your own currency — the tool converts for the comparison.
Prime cost is food cost plus labour as a share of sales. It is the single number that most decides whether a restaurant makes money — most healthy full-service venues keep it around 60–65%.
