Financial Control & Cashflow Dashboard
Three scenarios from a starting position of €140,000. February reflects planned 2-week closure (50% revenue). All figures illustrative.
3 kitchen staff, 5 service days. Profitable, cash-generative. EUR 140k in the bank.
The 4th hire (already committed) provides rotation capacity. Only incremental cost is F&B at 25%. Turns a sunk cost into revenue.
Gate: 90%+ seat fill, contribution margin positive by M2
One additional rotation hire (EUR 2,000/mo). EUR 250k bank by M10, EUR 150k FCF by M12. EBITDA margin improves to ~20%.
Self-fund Location 2. Negotiate from strength, not need.
The 4th kitchen hire is already committed for September 2026. This cost exists in every scenario.
Opening the 6th day adds ~EUR 8,700/mo revenue. The only incremental cost is F&B at 25% (~EUR 2,175/mo).
Net contribution: ~EUR 6,500/mo. If it does not work, revert to 5/7 with no structural impact.
218+ person waitlist guarantees demand. 95% occupancy on current days proves the product.
How margins improve as fixed costs are spread across more service days. All figures illustrative.
