Restaurant menu update cost calculator

Put a number on the staff time, outside help, and reprints behind routine menu changes. Every output below comes from your entries; Gaslamp does not assume that software eliminates every cost.

What the calculator includes

Staff time is minutes multiplied by your loaded hourly cost. Outside help and reprint costs are added per change. The monthly result multiplies that total by your update count.

Formula: monthly current cost = menu updates × ((minutes ÷ 60 × loaded hourly cost) + outside cost + reprint cost). Annual cost = monthly current cost × 12.
