Introduction
Forecasting tools turn sales history, guest traffic, or growth targets into forward planning numbers. Sales forecast projects monthly revenue. Customer traffic forecast projects covers. Pair results with Labor Budget for wage targets and Break-even for fixed-cost floors.
Why these calculators matter
Purchasing, scheduling, and loan conversations all start with credible sales and guest numbers. A flat guess hides slow months and makes labor targets drift.
Best practices
Use net sales consistently
Match revenue forecasts to the same net sales base you use for labor and food cost percentages.
Use a typical-day cover average
Base traffic forecasts on blended daily guests, not a single peak Saturday.
Refresh history each month
Drop the oldest month and add the month that just closed so averages stay current.
Pair forecast with labor budget
Projected sales and covers should feed wage targets, not the other way around.
