Daily figure assumes 30 trading days; adjust for your actual opening days.
Understanding break-even for a UAE restaurant
Break-even is the point where sales cover all costs. Each cover contributes its ticket value minus food cost; once those contributions cover your fixed costs, you start earning. TajerGo's Break-Even Clock shows this live, each day.
Common questions
Contribution margin per cover = average ticket × (1 − food cost %). Break-even covers per month = fixed costs ÷ contribution margin. Divide by your trading days for the daily figure.
Rent, salaries, licence fees, utilities and other costs that do not change with sales volume. Variable costs like ingredients are captured through the food cost percentage.
TajerGo's Break-Even Clock and daily owner brief show the exact hour you cover costs each day, plus the sales and margin driving it.
