Free hospitality tools.

12 free tools for the numbers and jobs UK operators deal with every week: gross profit, break-even, menu profit, food waste, labour cost, staff turnover, tips, holiday pay, stock variance, RevPAR and interview questions. Every one runs in your browser, shows how it works, and asks for nothing in return.

Every tool

12 tools, all free.

Nothing here asks for an email address or stores what you type. Defaults are ordinary rather than flattering, and each page says what its number leaves out.

Gross profit (GP%) calculator

Put in what you sell an item for, what it costs you to make, and the calculator gives you the gross profit percentage the way a hospitality P&L actually measures it — on the net, ex-VAT selling price.

Labour cost percentage calculator

Labour is usually the second largest line in a hospitality P&L and the one most often measured wrong, because the gross pay on the rota is not what the hours actually cost.

Tip pool and tronc calculator

Since October 2024 UK employers must pass on 100% of tips and allocate them fairly, with a written policy behind the method.

Holiday pay calculator

Hospitality runs on variable hours, which makes holiday entitlement a running total rather than a fixed number of days.

RevPAR calculator

RevPAR is the number hotels are compared on, and it moves for two different reasons that pull against each other.

Staff turnover cost calculator

What each leaver actually costs you once advertising, manager hours, induction and the productivity gap are added up — and what a ten-point improvement would be worth.

Interview question builder

Choose the job and what you want to know about the person. Get interview questions about real past situations, with follow-ups and what to listen for.
