Software cost calculator
What is your restaurant software really costing you?
Most independents pay several separate providers, each with a plan, a cover fee or a cut of every order. Type what each costs from your own bills, add the cut the delivery apps take, and see the month and the year in one number.

The numbers shown first are examples to show how the sum works. Replace every one with your own: nothing here is a quote.
How the sum works
Each tool is what you type for it: the plan, plus any per-cover, per-booking or per-order charges you paid last month.
The delivery app line is the sales those apps bring you a month times the commission on your statement.
The total is every line added up, and the yearly figure is twelve of those months. Nothing is filled in for you, so the answer is only as good as the figures you type.
Card processing is left out. It is its own sum, in the card fee calculator on this site.
Questions about this calculator
What counts as a tool here?
Anything you pay a provider for each month to run the business: a till, bookings, online ordering, a rota, stock, phone answering and the rest.
Why are no prices filled in?
Providers differ by plan, region and contract. Your bills are the only reliable source, so you type them.
Why is card processing left out?
It scales with your takings, so it has a calculator of its own.
Does this compare me with another provider?
No. It adds up what you pay today so that you have the number in front of you.
Is anything saved or sent?
No. The numbers stay in your browser and nothing is stored.
