### How it relates to MinimalPOS

The calculator explains a period after you enter the totals. MinimalPOS restaurant reports help operators review the underlying sales, payments, items, service types, tables, peak hours, and void activity that shape those totals.

**What is restaurant prime cost?** Prime cost combines cost of goods sold with labour cost. It is useful because food and labour are two major operating costs that restaurant teams can monitor closely.

**How do I calculate restaurant net profit margin?** Subtract all entered costs from revenue to get net profit, then divide net profit by revenue and multiply by 100. The calculator performs these steps for the selected period.

**Can I use the calculator for a café or bar?** Yes. Use the same period for revenue, ingredients or beverage cost, labour, rent, and other expenses to estimate profitability for a café, bar, or other food business.

**Are the results financial advice?** No. They are planning and review estimates based on the figures you enter. Use complete accounting records and professional advice for formal financial decisions.
