By reading huddlebolton.com you accept the terms below. They are short, and they are meant to be read.
What this site is
HuddleBolton publishes general information about running hospitality businesses. It is journalism and reference, not professional advice. Nothing here is accountancy, tax, legal, employment or food-safety advice for your particular business, and reading it does not create a professional relationship of any kind. Decisions about pricing, staff, contracts and compliance should be taken with your accountant, your employment adviser or your local authority.
Accuracy
We check what we publish and correct what we get wrong, but costs, tax rates, wage floors and regulations change constantly, and an article is only accurate as of the day it was written. We give no warranty that the site is complete, current or fit for any particular purpose, and we are not liable for loss arising from decisions taken on the basis of it. If you spot an error, write to [email protected].
The calculator
The menu GP calculator is provided as-is, for indicative arithmetic only. Check its output against your own costing sheet before you price a menu from it.
Links and advertising
The site links to, and carries advertising for, businesses we have no control over. A link is not an endorsement, and we are not responsible for the content, products, prices or practices of any other site. Any dealing you have with an advertiser or a linked business is between you and them.
Copyright
Articles, tables and the calculator on this site belong to their authors and may not be republished in full without permission. Short quotations with a link back are welcome. Images may be licensed from third parties and are not covered by that permission. To ask about reuse, write to [email protected].
Changes
These terms may be updated; the version on this page is the one that applies. Last revised July 2026.
