Free Restaurant Sales Goal Calculator for Daily Orders, Average Ticket, and Revenue Planning

If you run a restaurant, café, food truck, or bar, you’ve probably asked: How many customers do I need each day to stay profitable? The Food & Beverage Order Calculator gives you a clear answer.

This free tool helps you calculate the exact number of daily transactions required to meet your revenue goals—based on your average ticket size and operating days. It's fast, simple, and built specifically for food and beverage businesses.

What This Calculator Helps You Do

You can finally stop guessing and start planning. With just a few inputs, this tool helps you:

• Calculate how many customer orders you need per day and per week

• Set accurate daily sales goals for your staff

• Understand the impact of average ticket size on your revenue

• Forecast performance across shifts, weeks, or months

• Quickly assess how many transactions you need to break even

Whether you're trying to grow, scale, or stabilize your operations, this calculator gives you a reliable starting point.

How It Works

It’s simple. You enter three key inputs: your monthly revenue goal, your average order value (or average check), and the number of days you’re open per week. The calculator instantly shows you how many customer transactions you need per day and per week to hit your targets.

This kind of real-time insight replaces guesswork with strategy—no spreadsheets required.

Why Daily Transaction Targets Matter

Most food and beverage businesses operate on thin margins. Without clear daily sales targets, it’s easy to overspend, overstaff, or fall behind. Knowing how many orders you need helps you lead your team, allocate resources, and course-correct before small issues become costly problems.

Who This Calculator Is For

The Food & Beverage Order Calculator is perfect for:

• Independent restaurant owners

• Coffee shops and cafés

• Quick-service restaurants (QSRs)

• Bars, taprooms, and breweries

• Food trucks and pop-ups

• Ghost kitchens and delivery-only concepts

If you rely on customer transactions to drive revenue, this tool helps you plan smarter.

A Smart Way to Improve Profitability

Once you know your daily order target, you can start looking at ways to optimize performance. One of the best levers is increasing your average ticket size. Small improvements—like better menu design, premium add-ons, or limited-time offers—can help you reach your goals with fewer customers, less stress, and more margin.
