Track how efficiently your restaurant kitchen turns scheduled capacity into revenue. This calculator divides net revenue by available workstation-hours and also reports utilization and revenue per physical unit. For a useful trend, keep the definition of an available unit stable: production workstations should represent independently usable capacity, while available hours should reflect the time each unit could realistically operate.
Revenue per available unit-hour = net revenue ÷ (available units × hours available per unit)
Scheduled utilization = used hours per unit ÷ available hours per unit × 100.
The result normalizes revenue by workstation-hour capacity, making periods with different schedules easier to compare. Define an available unit the same way in every period.
This is an operating estimate. Accounting classifications and local practices may differ.
With $12,000 in revenue, 2 available units, and 40 hours per unit, there are 80 unit-hours. Revenue per available unit-hour is $150.00. If each unit was used for 30 hours, scheduled utilization is 75.00%.
It is one usable unit available for one hour, whether or not it produces revenue during that hour.
No. Include only hours when the unit was realistically available for scheduled operation.
No. Expand available hours or revise the schedule first; used time cannot exceed the defined capacity.
Use net operating revenue excluding sales tax, refunds, and pass-through amounts.
Yes. Dividing by unit-hours normalizes the result, provided each location uses a comparable unit definition.
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Available unit | One usable production workstation |
| Unit-hour | One available unit for one hour |
| Utilization | Used hours divided by available hours |
