Source and methodology
Versioned Restaurant Margin research and calculator inputs.
Distribution of cost, margin, and operating benchmarks explicitly sourced in the book corpus.
Reproducible source: https://restaurantmargin.com/sitemap.xml. The count includes only canonical URLs present in the source at collection time.
Scope
Do not present examples or calculator inputs as observed restaurant performance.
This first release reports a reproducible corpus denominator. Category-level findings are added only when their source fields and denominators pass the same evidence check.
Limitations: the figures describe only the stated source and cutoff date. They are not market-wide estimates, do not establish causality, and should not be extrapolated to periods, populations, or categories that are absent from the observed sample.
Annual history
- 2026: 97 canonical URLs at the stated cutoff. The stable URL remains unchanged when annual figures are refreshed. Cutoff: 2026-08-09.
