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.
