If we assume the total initial investment required to open the doors was \u003cstrong\u003e$120,000\u003c\/strong\u003e, then the required average monthly contribution margin must be \u003cstrong\u003e$40,000\u003c\/strong\u003e ($120,000 \/ 3 months). To achieve this, you need enough covers at the projected AOV to cover your variable costs (which target \u003cstrong\u003e175%\u003c\/strong\u003e of revenue, meaning contribution is negative unless this percentage is a typo and should be 75% or lower). Assuming the contribution margin target is actually \u003cstrong\u003e35%\u003c\/strong\u003e of revenue, you’d need monthly revenue of approximately $114,286 ($40,000 \/ 0.35) to hit that 3-month goal. If you only hit the midweek AOV of \u003cstrong\u003e$3,500\u003c\/strong\u003e, you'd need about \u003cstrong\u003e33\u003c\/strong\u003e midweek revenue cycles just to cover the required monthly contribution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \n\u003cdiv class=\"card_smpl\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"card_smpl_header\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"\/cdn\/shop\/files\/fml_20_fml-20-blog-tips-icon.svg\" alt=\"Icon\" class=\"icon_how_to_use\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTips and Trics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"lst_crct_blog\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrack \u003cstrong\u003eCumulative Net Income\u003c\/strong\u003e monthly; it must trend toward zero.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf actual MTB exceeds \u003cstrong\u003e4 months\u003c\/strong\u003e, immediately review fixed lease costs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"FinancialModelsLab","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49304009081075,"sku":"poke-bowl-restaurant-kpi-metrics","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/6191\/2762\/files\/poke-bowl-restaurant-kpi-metrics.webp?v=1782689599","url":"https:\/\/financialmodelslab.com\/products\/poke-bowl-restaurant-kpi-metrics","provider":"Financial Models Lab","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
