Frequently Asked Questions
Typical cover averages?
Breakfast: $15-30. Lunch: $25-45. Dinner: $45-85. Beverage multiplier: 0.25-0.75 of food cover. Higher for luxury hotels: breakfast $35-60, dinner $85-180. Resort and urban pricing different.
Improvement levers?
Menu engineering: highlight high-margin items. Servers upsell (wine pairings, desserts). Specials/promotions to boost averages. Group business typically 10-20% higher covers. Each 5% cover average lift = 5% F&B revenue.
Tracking by daypart?
Breakfast most stable (lower covers, high volume). Dinner highest variability (cover average, table turns, guest count). Beverage cover often fluctuates with events. Track weekly by daypart for operational insights.
How often should I rerun this?
Rerun this calculator whenever inputs change materially — new rent roll data, rate moves, loan balance updates, or quarterly operating data. For active deals, monthly refresh is typical. For stabilized assets under monitoring, quarterly is fine. Treat the output as a decision tool, not a one-time answer — market conditions evolve and so should your analysis.
