Restaurant cover forecast from bookings calculator

Calculate expected covers by interval and total expected covers with your own figures.

Your numbers

Use the units shown. Results update as you change valid inputs.

Use expected covers by interval and total expected covers to compare changes to your inputs. The method and limits below explain the scope.

Assumptions & limits

Assumptions & limits

  • Expected covers by independent interval from user show rates and deterministic walk-in scenarios. Supported limits: All numeric inputs and computed intermediates must remain finite. Supported numeric input magnitude is zero or 1e-12 through 1e12 in absolute value; reject values outside this bounded range. All lists/JSON record tables are limited to 100 records unless a stricter bound is stated; reject malformed record arity and wrong member types. All numeric values must be finite. Lists contain at most 100 records; required lists must be nonempty. Rates, probabilities and fractions are entered as fractions, not percentages; fractions must be between 0 and 1. Use a single consistent user-selected currency for all amounts; no exchange-rate conversion.
