Restaurant Startup Calculator
Opening a restaurant? See when your money comes back — from your own rent, seats, staff and average bill. પૈસા ક્યારે પાછા આવશે, એ ખોલતા પહેલાં જાણો.
What are you opening?
Lowest food cost of any format, and the highest fit-out. The coffee machine is usually the single biggest line.
What it costs to open
Everything you pay before the first bill. The second group is what new owners most often leave out.
Assumptions you can change
A new place does not open full. This assumes month one does 35% of your steady sales and reaches full by month 9.
The numbers are typical for the format — change every one to your own. Nothing you type is saved or sent.
When does the money come back?
Three outcomes, because one date would be a guess dressed up as a promise.
To cover every cost you need about ₹12,766 a day — roughly 29 bills a day at your average bill. Once settled, a full month is ₹10,80,000 in sales and ₹4,09,500 left over.
Months after opening. Below the dotted line you are still earning back what you put in.

Questions before you open
What is a break-even point for a restaurant?
It is the amount you must sell just to cover every cost — rent, salaries, ingredients, commission and bills. Below it the restaurant loses money each month; above it, it earns. The calculator shows it as sales a day and bills a day.
How long does a new restaurant in India take to recover its investment?
It depends on rent, format and how quickly customers come. That is why the calculator shows three cases — slow, expected and good — rather than one date. Enter your own numbers to see yours.
