10 tools for this work
Plate cost, delivery fees, no-shows and the break-even number nobody wants to look at.Free tools for restaurants, bars and food businesses
Food businesses run on percentages, and the percentages move every week. These tools cover the ones that decide whether a busy night was actually profitable, plus the delivery platform take rate that quietly removes a third of the ticket.
Every tool is free to run without creating an account.
Who this is for
Restaurant owners, bar and taproom operators, food trucks, caterers and coffee shops.
What usually goes wrong
- Delivery platform commission takes a share of every order that never shows up on the menu.
- Plate costs drift as supplier prices move and nobody reprices the menu.
- The phone rings through the dinner rush and reservations get lost.
- Break-even gets estimated rather than calculated, so a slow month is a surprise.

Which one should I run first?
The platform fee calculator, if you take orders through a delivery app. It is usually the largest single number on this page.
Can I print a result for a manager meeting?
Yes. Print or save as PDF from any tool. The sheet includes what you entered and the assumptions behind the answer.
The tools show the leak
Fixing the connected system is the other half.
If most of your orders arrive through somebody else's app, the work worth doing is building a direct ordering path you own.
