Why MarginEye is the right choice for your restaurant's financial health
Here are some financial facts that proves that nowadays working on profitability is more important than ever before.
According to Eurostat data, the average profit margin for food service establishments across the European Union hovered around 8-10% prior to 2020. However, recent reports from the European Restaurant Association indicate that these figures have declined to 3-6% for many operators in 2024.
A 2023 study by Deloitte analyzing over 2,000 European restaurants revealed that 68% of establishments reported lower profit margins compared to pre-pandemic levels, with small independent restaurants experiencing the most significant squeeze.
The most significant negative impact came from:
- Unprecedented energy cost increases, with commercial electricity rates surging by an average of 23% across EU countries between 2022 and 2024.
- Simultaneously, the industry faced labor shortages that drove wage increases of 11.3% between 2022 and 2024, far outpacing general wage growth.
- Many restaurants couldn't fully pass these costs to price-sensitive consumers, who reduced restaurant spending volumes when faced with higher prices, particularly in Southern European markets where spending decreased by 7.2% in 2024.
