Advertising & Performance
ROAS ANALYSIS.
Reading advertising return against real food cost, not platform revenue.
The business problem
A 6x ROAS on a low-margin dish can still lose money. The platform will never tell you that.
What we analyze
- Commercial objective and available capacity
- Audience, offer and content production
- Orders and visits attributable to campaigns
- Acquisition cost and repeat visits
01What We Do
We rebuild your return calculation using contribution margin after food and delivery costs, so a campaign that looks profitable on the dashboard is tested against the P&L.
02Our Approach
Map dish margins, rebuild attribution, model contribution per campaign, then reallocate.

Frequently Asked Questions
What data do you need from us?
Ad spend and revenue by channel, item costs, packaging cost and platform commission. Estimates are workable if they are labelled as estimates.
Does this replace platform reporting?
No. It reinterprets it. Platform numbers stay the source; the margin view is what makes them decision-grade.
