01Traffic, conversion and retail ordersOperating assumptions
Traffic, conversion and retail orders
Scenario purpose: Explains the confirmed retail visitor funnel and distinguishes new-buyer cohorts from completed transactions.
Inputs
- Visitors by weekday and allowed trading calendar
- Visitor-to-buyer conversion
- Repeat share, lifetime and order frequency
- Launch ramp
Outputs
- New and repeat order flow
- Completed retail orders by period
- Traffic and conversion sensitivities
Scope and limitations
- The website uses total completed orders, including repeats, rather than directly copying the native new-buyer cohort input.
- The readable seller image includes Sunday traffic; replace it when the local license or chosen schedule prohibits Sunday sales.
- Exact cohort timing and native formulas were not audited.
02Merchandise units, category mix and pricesOperating assumptions
Merchandise units, category mix and prices
Scenario purpose: Connects shared units per order to spirits, wine and packaged-beer categories and net realized selling prices.
Inputs
- Completed orders and units per order
- Mutually exclusive merchandise categories
- Category mix and net prices
- Discounts and expected sales refunds
Outputs
- Category units sold
- Net merchandise sales
- Weighted net basket
Scope and limitations
- The seller example also includes a tasting-event category; this off-premise case excludes it and requires a corresponding mix change.
- Independent event capacity or wholesale accounts cannot be represented faithfully by relabeling retail basket units.
- Collected sales tax is excluded from revenue.
03Goods cost and selling contributionOperating assumptions
Goods cost and selling contribution
Scenario purpose: Separates sold merchandise from stock loss, selling supplies and payment costs before fixed operating coverage.
Inputs
- Authorized supplier invoices and landed costs
- Salable returns, unsalable loss and supplier credits
- Tender mix and actual processing contract
- Category discount and loss allowances
Outputs
- Landed goods margin
- Variable selling-cost pool
- Contribution before paid roster and premises
Scope and limitations
- The seller confirms a COGS and OPEX module; a percentage cost input is not a SKU purchasing ledger.
- Opening inventory and supplier payments are distinct from goods expense as merchandise sells.
- The selected margin is an authored scenario, independent of seller default financial values.
04Paid roster, premises and safeguardsOperating assumptions
Paid roster, premises and safeguards
Scenario purpose: Funds owner management, retail shifts and relief alongside the recurring cost of operating the licensed premises.
Inputs
- Owner floor and administrative hours
- Lead and associate hours, wages and employer costs
- Relief, breaks and peak checkout cover
- Lease inclusions, utilities, systems and insurance
Outputs
- Paid labor and overhead requirement
- Coverage and workload checks
- Fixed-cost sensitivity
Scope and limitations
- The website's schedule is a planning interpretation, not a native paid-workbook staffing audit.
- Local employee age, training, breaks, overtime and leave rules need confirmation.
- A clerk roster and limited relief do not replace the owner's purchasing and compliance authority.
05Opening uses and supplier cash timingOperating assumptions
Opening uses and supplier cash timing
Scenario purpose: Shows how installed setup, deposits, merchandise and operating cash serve different funding needs.
Inputs
- Installed fit-out and fixture bids
- Actual permission and professional costs
- Opening stock and supplier due dates
- Launch ramp, tax funds and processor receipts
Outputs
- Opening uses of funds
- Operating-loss reserve test
- Extra-stock cash stress
Scope and limitations
- No scarce transferable-license purchase price or automatic supplier credit is assumed.
- The native workbook's cash and startup reports are seller-described; an invoice-dated stock subledger was not verified.
- Earnings, bank liquidity, debt funding and owner withdrawals remain different measures.
06Five-year statements and scenario reportsOperating assumptions
Five-year statements and scenario reports
Scenario purpose: Relates the seller-described monthly and annual statements, scenarios and management views to editable retail assumptions.
Inputs
- Retail volume, mix and prices
- Goods costs, paid labor and overhead
- Startup uses and funding assumptions
- Low, base and high inputs
Outputs
- Income statement, cash flow and balance sheet
- Scenario comparison
- Dashboard and break-even interpretation
Scope and limitations
- Product description and readable input imagery establish fit, not a current attachment or formula-chain audit.
- The website uses its own constant-dollar off-premise case, rather than the seller's boutique sample figures.
- Neither a scenario report nor operating break-even establishes investment payback or paid-file fulfillment.

Assumptions you can change
Use the Excel template to compare your financial assumptions. Review the selected version's input structure and outputs before adapting it. The online inputs and outputs on this page explain this website's price, volume, cost and opening-budget assumptions; they do not edit or verify a workbook. Range endpoints represent modeled scopes or sensitivities, not measured national averages.
Neither template establishes local demand, licensing compliance, financing approval or available owner cash.
| Driver | Base input | Scenario range / treatment | Role in the calculation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Net retail basket | $40.00 | $32.00 – $48.00 | Revenue per sold unit |
| Completed transactions per day | 130 | 90 – 140 | Daily throughput in the stated operating scope |
| Operating days per week | 6 | 5 – 6 | Trading schedule |
| Fixed operating costs / month | $22,500 | Held constant | Operating break-even threshold |
| Contribution margin | 21.0% | Held constant | Share of sales available for fixed costs |
| Starting share of mature volume | 55.0% | Base ramp input | Opening month revenue |
| Mature volume added / month | 5.0% | Base ramp input | Monthly ramp increment, capped at mature volume |
| Ramp horizon | 24 months | Base ramp input | Period checked for operating break-even |
The opening budget and annual expense inputs also need local quotes and staffing estimates. This page shows fixed examples; the free calculator lets you change price, volume and trading days.

| Scenario | Daily units | Monthly revenue | Break-even revenue | First operating break-even |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lower volume | 90 | $93,528 | $107,143 | Not reached |
| Base volume | 130 | $135,096 | $107,143 | Month 6 |
| Higher volume | 140 | $145,488 | $107,143 | Month 5 |
Only completed transactions per day changes. Net retail basket: $40.00; 6 operating days per week. Fixed costs and contribution margin stay constant. “Not reached” means no operating break-even within the 24-month ramp. Years 1–3 and the opening calculator ramp use one operating base within whole-dollar rounding. Years 4–5 follow the stated annual assumptions. Slider cases do not change the annual forecast or measure cash payback.
Sample outputs from the current case
These results are calculated from the website’s illustrative assumptions. They illustrate planning calculations; they do not establish the purchased workbook’s formula behavior.
Where the opening budget goes
One-time budget: $365,000. This allocation is not a cumulative cash-flow forecast.
Year 3 costs and EBITDA
Against annual revenue of $1,621,152.
EBITDA margin: 4.3%. EBITDA is not cash available to the owner.
Volume needed to break even
- Required whole units per day
- 104
- Break-even revenue / month
- $107,143
- Base revenue / month at maturity
- $135,096
- First operating break-even
- Month 6
Units mean completed transactions per day. The ramp covers 24 months; operating break-even does not measure recovery of opening capital.
Compare the volume sensitivities ↑Years 1–3 and the opening calculator ramp use one operating base within whole-dollar rounding. Years 4–5 follow the stated annual assumptions. The website does not yet supply a complete funding, debt, tax and working-capital schedule for a cumulative cash-flow or payback chart. Read the full input basis and limitations.
Annual forecast and monthly operating reconciliation
Years 1–3 and the opening calculator ramp use one operating base within whole-dollar rounding. Years 4–5 follow the stated annual assumptions.
| Check | Annual forecast | Monthly calculator base |
|---|---|---|
| Year 1 revenue | $1,317,186 | $1,317,186 |
| Year 1 operating result | $6,609 | $6,609 |
| Year 2 revenue | $1,621,152 | $1,621,152 |
| Year 2 operating result | $70,442 | $70,442 |
| Year 3 revenue | $1,621,152 | $1,621,152 |
| Year 3 operating result | $70,442 | $70,442 |
| Year 3 / full-volume annual revenue | $1,621,152 | $1,621,152 |
| Year 3 / full-volume annual operating result | $70,442 | $70,442 |
Year 1 uses months 1–12, Year 2 months 13–24 and Year 3 months 25–36. Full-volume rows use mature monthly sales and operating result × 12. The calculator holds price, days, contribution and fixed costs constant; an annual price, staffing or cost change can explain a separate path. Sliders do not change this comparison. Neither column measures cash flow, owner distributions or payback. Agreement tests arithmetic, not demand or cash funding. Input basis.

What would I need to change for my business?
Review net retail basket, completed transactions per day, the operating schedule, opening budget and costs. These web previews do not edit a workbook. Test the website's price and volume assumptions in the business idea page's calculator.
Is the written business plan included?
