๐ Menu Matrix Classification Methodology
Categorizes menu items relative to active period sales volume and revenue medians.
โญ
High Volume & High Revenue
Star
Sales volume and gross revenue both equal to or exceeding period medians.
๐งฉ
Low Volume & High Revenue
Puzzle
Gross revenue at or above period median, with sales volume falling below period median.
๐ช
High Volume & Low Revenue
Workhorse
Sales volume at or above period median, with gross revenue falling below period median.
๐ป
Low Volume & Low Revenue
Underperformer
Sales volume and gross revenue both falling below period medians.
โญ

๐ ๏ธ Promotional Bundling Execution Methodology
๐ High-Margin Puzzle Items
| Menu Item | Price (Rp) | Margin Contribution (Rp) |
| Pudding | 12,000 | 7,500 |
| Milkshake | 15,000 | 10,000 |
| Juice | 20,000 | 12,000 |
๐ด High-Volume Workhorse Items
| Menu Item | Price (Rp) | Margin Contribution (Rp) |
| Pizza | 22,000 | 2,500 |
| Hamburger | 25,000 | 3,000 |
| Hotdog | 20,000 | 2,000 |
1. Identify High-Volume Anchor Item (Workhorse Table): Select a primary high-velocity item from the Workhorse category (e.g., Hamburger).
2. Pair High-Margin Secondary Item (Puzzle Table): Select a high-margin item from the Puzzle category to complement the anchor item (e.g., Milkshake).
3. Calculate Total Combined Margin Threshold: Sum the individual item margins (Rp 3,000 + Rp 10,000 = Rp 13,000). This value represents the maximum theoretical discount ceiling before unit contribution loss.
4. Simulate Promotional Pricing Structure: Combine standalone prices (Rp 40,000 total) and apply a Rp 5,000 promo discount (promotional price becomes Rp 35,000). Net contribution margin stabilizes at Rp 8,000 per unit transaction.
5. POS Configuration & Mapping: Configure the promo item pairing within the POS database to track order velocity and aggregate margin realization.
๐งฉ High-Margin Puzzle Items
High Margin Contribution, Lower Order Volume
Items exhibiting gross revenue or margin contribution above median with sales volume below median.
๐ Financial Structure: High unit contribution margin provides substantial clearance for promotional discount structures without breaching unit profitability.
๐ด High-Volume Workhorse Items
High Order Volume, Lower Margin Contribution
Items exhibiting sales volume at or above median with gross revenue or margin contribution below median.
๐ Financial Structure: High transaction frequency makes these items suitable anchor candidates for volume velocity analytics and cross-category item pairing.
๐ก Puzzle & Workhorse Calculation Methodology
Calculated using the Menu Engineering Framework (Kasavana & Smith Matrix). The system automatically plots each menu item across two axes by comparing individual item metrics against overall menu portfolio Median baselines:
๐งฉ
Volume < Median | Margin > Median
Puzzle
Items exhibiting above-median unit contribution margin with below-median order volume velocity.
๐ด
Volume > Median | Margin < Median
Workhorse
High-velocity anchor items exhibiting above-median order volume with below-median unit contribution margin.

Statistical Boundary Consideration (Threshold Proximity)
Due to absolute mathematical median thresholding, items positioned near baseline boundaries may shift matrix quadrants based on minor unit volume fluctuations. Review trailing multi-period trend lines to distinguish structural category shifts from minor volume variance.
Classification metrics update daily using a trailing 30-day performance window.
