There are 2 parts to the Q factor. The first is for entrees only and the second part is for vegetables and starches. When referring to entrees only the Q factor is not a percent it is a $ and/or cent figure. When referring to vegetables and starches the Q factor is the highest cost factor of 1 portion of vegetables AND starches.

The Q factor has to do with the way most restaurants price their food, which is called cost-based pricing. This basically involves determining the exact food costsl including actual ingredients and overhead like labor, associated with a each menu item and then multiplying it be some factor between around 3 to 4 (and sometimes higher - hint: the same multiplying factor is not applied to all dishes, because customers are willing to pay more for certain types of dishes).

Since many restaurants also include certain things with each meal for free, such as bread, chips, or condiments such as the free salsa you get at Mexican restaurants, this needs to also be factored into the price. The additional cost that is factored in to account for these free items is sometimes called the Q-factor. Again, it will tend to be different for different items and will take into account that customers consume differing amounts of condiments, etc., with different food items.

Q factor of low pass filter?

The Q factor is describing how sharp the dropoff of the filter is relative to the pass band. Wikipedia has a decent writeup on Q factor. The more components you use to make the filter, and the lower the cutoff frequency, the higher the Q will be.

What is the Q factor in RLC circuit?

It is related to damping in the circuit using a resistor. Q is inversely proportional to the resistor(R). So if the value of resistance is high, there is a greater damping and the value of Q will be low. if resistance is low, there is small damping and Q will be high. when Q is high(low damping) the graph of voltage across resistor against frequency will be sharp at resonance and the bandwidth will be small when Q is low(high damping) thee graph will be less sharp as the bandwidth will be large. Go do some research on the graphs and the formula of Q factor to understand it better.

What is the Q factor in electrical and electronics engineering?

Q is the general idea of component quality, mainly in AC circuits. It is equal to reactance divided by resistance. The Q factor of an entire circuit can also be computed the same way. In general, adding resistance decreases the circuit or component Q. The "Q" factor is a empirical number to imply the acuteness of a circuit to discriminate surrounding influences and act on the Q of the circuit. The higher the Q THE SHARPER THE RESPONSE.
