Operator Note

Break-even isn't a target. It's your floor. The number you need to hit before you earn a single dollar of profit. Know it. Print it. Stick it on the pass. Every cover above this number is money in your pocket.

Reading your number

The earlier in the week your venue covers its fixed costs, the more of the weekend is pure margin. If your number says you don't break even until late in the week, either your fixed costs are too high or your margins are too thin. This calculator shows you which lever to pull.
