How it works
- Food cost is calculated as monthly sales multiplied by the food cost ratio, and labor cost as monthly sales multiplied by the labor cost ratio.
- FL cost is the sum of food and labor cost, and FL ratio is the food cost ratio plus the labor cost ratio. For restaurants, keeping the FL ratio within 60% is generally considered a healthy benchmark.
- Operating profit is calculated as monthly sales minus (food cost + labor cost + rent + other expenses), and operating margin is operating profit divided by monthly sales.
- Enter utilities, marketing, supplies, communications, and any other fixed or variable costs outside of food, labor, and rent under "other expenses."
- Results are estimates based on the ratios and amounts you enter and do not include depreciation, interest, or taxes, so they may differ from actual figures.
- This tool is a guide to help review a business plan. For an official P&L or profitability assessment, consult a tax accountant or other professional.
