    Study Notes

    Sales Forecasting

    • Sales forecasting is a crucial tool for analyzing past trends and predicting future demand, considering various factors.

    • Sales forecasting is important for decision-making, assessing business progress, and providing motivation.

    Turnover Rate for New Food Outlets

    • Turnover rate refers to the ratio of occupied seats to total available seats.
    • A turnover rate of 1.00 means 100% of the seats are occupied in a single meal period.
    • A high turnover rate (1.50 or 2.00) suggests that the seats are occupied multiple times during a meal period.
    • In some cases, the turnover rate is 1.50 indicating that the seats are full for the first round and half full for the second.
    • A low turnover rate (0.30 or 0.50) implies only 30% to 50% of the seats being occupied during a meal period.

    Steps to Project Sales for New Food Outlets

    • Step 1: Determine maximum sales at full capacity, considering maximum turnover.
    • Step 2: Determine the ratio of diners from total maximum covers, making calculated assumptions for each month.
    • Step 3: Calculate projected sales by multiplying projected covers by the average check.

    Example Sales Projection for a New Restaurant

    • Assuming a restaurant serves 3 meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) with no snacks, the maximum turnover rate is 2 (200%) and a seating capacity of 100.
    • The maximum number of covers per meal period is 200 (100 x 2).
    • The maximum number of covers for three meals per day is 600 (200 x 3).
    • The average check was estimated to be P166.66.
    • The projected monthly sales are P2,999,880 (600 x 30 x P166.66).
