Release Notes: Food & Beverage Yield (FBY) — Server Leaderboard
Coming Soon: Test Properties in January - Full Roll out in February 2026
What's New
We're excited to introduce Food & Beverage Yield (FBY), a new performance metric designed to give managers a fair, normalized view of server sales performance across your restaurant operations.
What is FBY?
FBY measures how much revenue a server generates per guest relative to your outlet's average entrée price. This creates an apples-to-apples comparison that works across different restaurants, regardless of menu pricing.
The Formula:
FBY = (Server's Average Revenue per Guest ÷ Outlet Average Entrée Price) × 100
For example, if a server averages $72 per guest and your average entrée is $34.76, their FBY would be approximately 207% — meaning they generate roughly 2x the entrée value per guest through appetizers, drinks, desserts, and upselling.
How the Leaderboard Card Works
Benchmark Card
The dark blue summary card shows your Top 20% Benchmark — the average FBY of your top-performing servers. This provides a realistic, data-driven target rather than an arbitrary goal.
| Element | Description |
|---|---|
| Benchmark % | Average FBY of your top 20% of servers |
| Avg. Entrée Value | The outlet's average entrée price used in calculations |
| Progress Bar | Visual representation of where the benchmark falls on the scale |
| Above/Below | Count of servers performing above or below the benchmark |
Server Rankings
Each server row displays their rank, name, FBY percentage, and performance relative to the benchmark:
| Badge Color | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 🟢 Green | Performing above the benchmark |
| 🟡 Gold | Within range of the benchmark |
| ⚪ Gray | Below the benchmark |
The percentage indicator (e.g., +40.7% or -9.2%) shows how far above or below the benchmark each server falls.

Why FBY Matters
FBY helps you identify coaching opportunities by showing which servers excel at maximizing guest spend — and which may benefit from training on upselling, menu knowledge, or guest engagement. Because it's normalized to entrée pricing, you can fairly compare performance across different outlets in your portfolio.
