Getting started
2. Read your results
Results update as you type. Each result shows the reference range, a coloured status and the rupee impact of any gap. On a phone, the key result stays pinned at the bottom of the screen; tap Results to jump to it.
3. Test, save and share
Use Scenario mode to try a change (dish cost +10%, commission −3 points) without touching your inputs. Then save it on this device, share a link, or download a PDF or CSV for your partner or accountant.
Reading your results
Green
Within the reference range. Keep doing what you're doing.
Amber
Slightly outside the range. Worth a look this month.
Red
Well outside the range, or a loss. Act on this first.
Reference ranges are indicative. The right numbers for your outlet depend on format, city, cuisine and pricing.

Common questions
Do I need to create an account?
No. Everything works without login. Your numbers are calculated in your browser and saved only on your device.
Why do the calculators already show numbers?
They are example numbers so you can see how each tool works. Press “Clear all” to start blank, or “Example” to bring them back.
I see a red message under a field. What do I do?
It means the value can't be used, for example a negative amount or a percentage above 100. Correct the number and the message disappears.
My saved scenarios disappeared.

Are these results financial advice?
No. They are estimates based on the numbers you enter. Reference ranges are indicative. Check important decisions with your accountant.
