How it works
- Monthly sales are calculated as seats x occupancy rate x daily turnover x spend per customer x open days per month. The starting point is multiplying seats by the occupancy rate to find effective seats.
- Turnover is how many times a single seat is reoccupied per day. A turnover of 2.5, for example, assumes each seat serves about 2.5 parties (people) per day on average.
- Occupancy rate is the share of seats filled on average across all opening hours. Enter a realistic average that accounts for lunch versus dinner differences and day-of-week variation.
- Daily sales are shown as effective seats x turnover x spend, monthly customers as effective seats x turnover x open days, and yearly sales as monthly sales x 12.
- Spend per customer is typically the average check (tax included) per person or party, covering food and drinks. Adjust for takeout or banquet business as needed.
- Note: results are rough estimates only. Actual sales vary with location, season, customer base, and cost ratios. Consult a professional for business plans or financing decisions.
