It is imperative for businesses to understand their target customer segment and create a pricing strategy that works for them. The success of a food business largely depends on the price that customers are willing to pay.

 # '''The state and need of the person''': Hunger, for example, can lead to a higher value being placed on food, while a crisis can cause certain commodities to skyrocket in value.
-# '''The monetary cost of the product relative to substitutes''': Another important factor in customer-perceived value is the cost of the product relative to its substitutes. However, this may not be as important if the customer segment is not price-sensitive. Customers who prioritize quality over price, for example, may be less susceptible to price sensitivity. Also, a business similar to its neighbour but which sells the same product at twice the price of its neighbour has less value in the eye of most customers.
+# '''The monetary cost of the product relative to substitutes''': Another important factor in customer-perceived value is the cost of the product relative to its substitutes. However, this may not be as important if the customer segment is not price-sensitive. Price-sensitivity will be looked at in a little more detail in the next section.
 # '''The availability of the product through time''': Limited edition products, in particular, tend to hold higher value due to their scarcity. Let's imagine a boutique coffee shop that brews just 20 cups of its signature blend each day. The quality of their coffee is unquestionably superb, and the shop is renowned among coffee aficionados. Because of these factors, the customer-perceived value of their coffee significantly rises. However, a customer who values their time might hesitate to visit this shop, due to the unpredictability of securing one of the limited daily brews.
 # '''The quality of the product''': Quality varies based on the consumer's perspective. As an example, consider a gym-goer. They may not discern between organic and regular protein powder. For them, both variants could represent identical quality. However, they may consider a protein shake with extra vitamins as higher quality than one without.

	Many food businesses use markup pricing to fix their sales price profitably~~. The simulation also uses it~~. It is a form of cost-based pricing where a markup percentage is added to the cost of menu items to arrive at their selling price.  The markup should cover operating and overhead costs and generate sufficient profits for the business. In this method, the menu item cost is multiplied by the chosen markup percentage to find the markup amount. Then the markup amount is added to the cost of the menu item to get the sales price.

For instance, the spicy chicken burger's production cost was $3. With a markup of 70%, considering the high perceived value during game days, the selling price was:
			Unit cost x markup = Markup amount
	Unit cost x markup = Markup amount		$3 x 0.70 = $2.10
	$3 x 0.70 = $2.10
			Unit cost + Markup amount = Sales price
	Unit cost + Markup amount = Sales price		$3 + $2.10 = $5.10
