7 Numbers Every Pub, Restaurant or Hotel Should Watch

Hospitality runs on thin margins.
Track these seven numbers to protect your profit.

By Karlee Pegley, Client Manager

Hospitality is one of the hardest sectors to run profitably. The operators who thrive are the ones who watch the right numbers. Here are seven worth keeping in front of you.

1. Gross profit % by category (wet vs dry). 2. Wage % of sales, rota’d against forecast covers. 3. Spend per head. 4. Covers and occupancy. 5. Stock and wastage. 6. Cashflow forecast through the seasons. 7. Break-even point.

The good news: connect your EPOS to Xero and these land on your screen automatically, no spreadsheets and late nights. That is the proactive, tech-led support we build for the venues we work with across Suffolk.
