Frequently Asked Questions

Does it work in Google Sheets?

Yes. Your PDF guide has a link that makes your own Google Sheets copy in one click, with no upload needed. It also works in Excel 2019 or later and Microsoft 365.

Does it work for a coffee shop with no table service?

Yes. Rename the two services, for example Morning and Afternoon, and set the table turns and average bill for each. Seats and turns still set the ceiling on how many guests you can serve.

Can I use it as a menu pricing calculator?

It works at the level of your average bill and food cost %, not dish by dish. Change the average bill or food cost % and you see the effect on gross margin, prime cost and break-even right away.
