The restaurant maths, done for you.
Three quick calculators for independent Australian venues. See what the delivery apps really cost you, whether a discount actually breaks even, and how many covers your marketing needs to pay for itself. Free, and no email required.
What the delivery apps really cost you.
Enter your monthly delivery sales and your plan's commission rate.
Illustrative. Direct ordering still carries a card fee of roughly 1.5%, but you keep the margin, the data and the customer. See how to take orders direct.
Does that discount actually break even?
Before you put a percentage off in the window, see how many more covers it needs just to break even.
The discount lands on every diner, including the ones who would have paid full. That is why an added-value offer usually beats a price cut. See filling slow nights without discounting.
Your marketing break-even number.
Know your number: how many covers your marketing has to bring in before it pays for itself.
Anything above the break-even line is profit. This is the number that tells you what a new cover is worth, and what you can afford to pay to win one. See Meta ads judged on cost per cover.
Want the system behind the numbers?
The Playbook turns these numbers into a plan: local search, ads, email and reviews, all measured in covers. Or we run the whole thing for you.
