To turn a fixed cost base into a daily operational target.
Break-even is usually quoted as a revenue figure, which is hard to manage against. Expressed as covers per day it becomes an operational target the floor can recognise.
Enter the monthly fixed cost base — rent, salaries that do not vary with volume, overheads — the variable cost percentage of revenue, and the average transaction value. The calculator returns break-even revenue, break-even covers per month and per day, and the contribution each transaction makes towards the fixed base.
How to read this
Break-even is a floor, not a target. It says what the business must do to cover its fixed base, not what it must do to be worth running — that requires a return on the capital invested as well.
