Gross revenue is not profit
Most pre-launch owners guess monthly revenue as a single round number. This calculator forces the operational math: how many covers you can turn, what the average ticket is, and how much delivery adds on top. Weekday and weekend are blended separately because a 60-seat casual dining outlet that does 2 turns on Tuesday and 3 on Saturday is a very different business than one that averages 2.5 every day.
Gross revenue is the starting point, not the finish line. Delivery top-line includes aggregator commission in your cost structure, not in this number. After you have a monthly projection, run the break-even calculator with your real rent and salaries, then the ROI calculator to see if the investment comes back in a timeline you can survive.

Common questions
How do you calculate restaurant revenue?
Dine-in revenue = seats × table turns × average ticket value (ATV). Delivery revenue = orders per day × average order value (AOV). This calculator blends weekday and weekend assumptions across your operating calendar, then sums dine-in and delivery for a daily and monthly gross total.
What's a realistic ATV for Indian casual dining?
Weekday casual dining in T1 cities often lands ₹350–450 per cover; weekends push ₹500–650 with alcohol. QSR is ₹150–250. Fine dining weekday ₹900–1,400. Use your menu price list ÷ expected items per cover — not your highest dish.
Should I count delivery gross or net of commission?
This calculator shows gross delivery revenue (what the customer pays). Aggregator commission (18–28%) hits your margin, not top-line. Use the break-even calculator with a variable cost rate that includes commission to see if projected revenue actually clears costs.
How does this compare to break-even?
Break-even tells you the minimum revenue needed to cover fixed costs at a given variable cost %. This tool projects what you can realistically earn from covers and orders. Toggle 'Compare to format-typical break-even' to see if your projection clears the hurdle — then run the full break-even calculator with your actual rent and salaries.
