How break-even is worked out
Contribution margin = 100% minus your variable cost % (food, packaging, aggregator commission and other costs that rise with sales). Break-even sales per month = fixed costs / contribution margin. Orders needed = break-even sales / average bill value.
Fixed costs include rent, salaries, utilities, software and loan payments. Use your real monthly figures and revisit the number whenever rent, menu prices or food cost change.
