The minimum inputs for revenue forecasting

You need:

• expected orders/day (or parties/day)
• average order value (AOV)
• days open per month

Optional but useful:

• expected dine-in vs delivery split
• expected peak vs off-peak traffic

Restaurant revenue calculator formulas

Formula 1: Simple monthly revenue

Monthly Revenue = Orders per day  AOV  Days open per month

Formula 2: Using seat capacity (for dine-in)

Monthly Revenue = (Tables  Turns per day)  Parties per turn  AOV  Days open

Use whichever matches your business model.

Example calculation

Assume:

• orders/day = 220
• AOV = Rs 380
• days open = 30

Monthly revenue:

220  380  30 = Rs 25,08,000

How QR menus impact your forecast

QR menus can improve:

• conversion (more scans -> orders)
• speed (faster ordering -> better table turns)
• AOV (upsells/combos)

So when you update your QR menu and measure KPIs, your revenue forecast becomes more accurate and your targets become achievable.

Common mistakes

Avoid:

1. Overestimating AOV without considering menu structure
2. Ignoring conversion rate (traffic doesn’t equal orders)
3. Using outdated AOV from the last menu cycle
4. Not separating peak and off-peak performance
5. Not updating the forecast after testing improvements

FAQs

1. What does AOV mean?

Average order value—average amount spent per order.

2. How do I calculate restaurant revenue accurately?

Use orders and AOV, and validate using your POS or QR menu analytics.

3. Can I use this calculator for cafes too?

Yes. Same math works for cafes, quick service, and restaurants.

4. How quickly can QR menus improve revenue?

Many restaurants see improvements within a few weeks after menu UX and upsell changes.

5. Does revenue depend only on traffic?

No. Conversion rate and AOV are equally important.
