Prime cuts now regularly hit 50% of their selling price versus the typical 35% ingredient cost target, forcing operators to rely heavily on beverage programs (70–margins) to offset protein losses.

This leaves minimal contribution margin after accounting for yield loss (tenderloin trim to steak tartare, bones to demi-glace), walk-in protein counts, POS reconciliation, and rising labor costs for skilled butchers and tableside service.
