F&B Capex & Break-Even Calculator, Opening a Quán in Vietnam
Stress-test your opening before signing the lease.
Understanding the calculation
This calculator compares opening investment, recurring operating costs and expected sales to estimate break-even demand and payback. Enter capital expenditure, monthly costs, average order value and daily customer volume. A payback estimate depends on those sales assumptions; it is not a promise of future demand.
Use figures from the same trading period and keep the currency consistent across all money inputs. A result describes the values entered, not a measured outcome for your business. Start with your own receipts, supplier invoices, sales records and operating costs rather than treating the prefilled example as a benchmark. Check quantities and units before comparing scenarios: mixing a purchase pack with a recipe portion can change the result substantially.
Read the output as a planning estimate. Change one input at a time to see which assumption drives the result, then compare that assumption with your records. Missing costs, unusual trading days and incomplete stock counts can make a result look better than actual operations. The calculator does not verify invoices, establish tax obligations or guarantee savings. Review the calculation with the person responsible for your accounts before making a purchasing or pricing decision.
FAQ
Where should the input figures come from?
Use the venue's invoices, sales and stock records for the same period; check units and any missing costs.
Is the result a benchmark or guaranteed saving?
No. It is an estimate from the values and assumptions entered, not an industry benchmark or a guaranteed outcome.
How should I verify the result before deciding?
Change one assumption at a time, compare with source records and review the result with the person responsible for your accounts.
