I want to run briyani business from home kitchen . My cost for making for 1 kg chicken briyani comes 600 Rupess , I am staying in Mumbai City, in what profile margin should I said ?

Ans: As i understand your question is - in what profit margin should i sell. I understand that when you say your cost is 600 Rs, you are referring to making biryani out of 1 kg of chicken- right? The final weight of cooked biryani with rice and every other ingredients will be much higher - say 2kg. Typically your food cost should be not more than 30-33% of your sales. So what you make at 600 should sell at about 1800 Rs. So assuming 1 kg chicken makes 2 kg biryani, your per kg sales price should be about 900 Rs. Benchmark this with what similar home chefs are pricing their biryani at. Dont over price else you will ot be able to sell initially.
Also, see why your costs is Rs 600. To me it should be less than that.
