Free Waste & Savings Calculator

Turn rough numbers into a clear picture of what waste is costing you, and what you could save if you tightened the line by even a few points.

How it works

You'll enter a few basics about your operation, typical weekly food or pour cost, an estimate of what hits the trash or comps, and optionally your average covers or tabs. The calculator combines those into an annualized "leak" number and shows scenarios if you recover 5%, 10%, or 15% of that loss.

What you put in

Weekly or monthly cost of goods (food, beer, wine, etc.)
Estimated waste, spoilage, or comps as a % or dollar amount
Optional: seats, turns, or average check for context

What you get out

Annualized cost of current waste
Savings bands if you improve tracking and habits
A simple narrative you can share with partners or investors

Why it's powerful

Most operators know waste is "bad" but not how bad in dollars. A calculator makes the invisible visible: small weekly percentages become real annual figures. That's the same mindset TablTrak reinforces every week, except in the app, those numbers stay tied to your actual sales and SKUs instead of estimates alone.
