Before you sign a lease, you need a revenue number you can defend — not a friend's guess. Forkcast's free revenue calculator models covers, average ticket value, dine-in vs aggregator mix, and rough seasonality. This walkthrough uses a 60-seat Pune casual dining example.
Inputs you'll enter
- Seating capacity and turns per day (weekday vs weekend)
- Average ticket value (ATV) — dine-in and aggregator separately
- Channel mix (% dine-in, Zomato, Swiggy)
- Operating days per month
- Optional: rent and labour % for a quick margin check
Worked example: FC Road casual dining
| Input | Weekday | Weekend |
|---|---|---|
| Turns | 1.1 | 1.6 |
| ATV dine-in | ₹520 | ₹580 |
| ATV aggregator (net of commission) | ₹380 | ₹410 |
| Channel mix | 55% dine-in / 45% agg | 50% / 50% |
Output: ~₹11.2L monthly revenue at stabilised run-rate — before monsoon dip and festival spikes. The calculator shows the band when you move ATV ±10% or aggregator mix ±10%, which is how lease negotiations should be stress-tested.
Three mistakes to avoid
- Using dine-in ATV for aggregator revenue — commission and packaging shrink net ticket 25–35%.
- Assuming weekend turns apply weekdays — month-one weekday turns are often 0.6–0.8.
- Ignoring closed days — one weekly off day is 4–5% revenue gone annually.
