Mechanics of Sales Forecasting
⚫ B. New Food Outlets
⚫ If the food outlet is just about to begin its operations and
there are no sales records, one can make projections based
on an assumed number of diners (covers) per month
multiplied by the assumed average check.
⚫ The projected number of covers depends on the seating
capacity of the restaurant and the turn over rate.
⚫ A turn-over rate of 1.00 means all seats (100%) are taken in
one meal period. If all seats are occupied twice in one meal
period, the turn over rate is 2.00 (200%). For restaurants
with low patronage, the turn over rate can be as low as .30
or .50 which means only 30%-50% of the seats are
occupied in one meal period
Suggested Steps to Arrive at a Sales Forecast for
New Food Outlets
⚫ 1. Determine the maximum sales at full house
capacity, maximum turn over.
⚫ 1.1 Get data on seating capacity, expected rate of turn
over per meal period and average check (average cost
of consumption per cover).
⚫ 1.2 Get the total covers for all meals
⚫ 1.3 Get the average check (For new restaurants
without sales figures yet, one can roughly estimate the
average check based on the average price of dishes).
⚫ 1.4 To get the projected maximum sales, multiply
maximum covers by the average check.
Assuming a restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, no snacks and the
maximum turn over and sales are estimated as follows:
Breakfast Lunch Dinner Total
DAILY SALES
Seating Capacity 100 100 100
Maximum Turnover 2 2 2
