Built for local business
Free loyalty program and back office for restaurants
The Break-even calculator, the Profit by item screen and the Stamp card are free. They are set up for how a restaurant runs, including how many days a regular can be away before KANJIN flags them.
No card and no time limit. The calculators need no account at all.
How a restaurant runs
The numbers are set for your trade
The number of seats is fixed, and Tuesday is usually the empty day. What a restaurant can change is which day people come.
21
days without a visit before KANJIN flags a regular
This is the default for a restaurant. Writing too early annoys people. Waiting too long means they have already found somewhere else. You can change the number in the back office.

Covers per day is the number a restaurant lives on. Most owners work it out from sales, not from what is left after food cost, so they get a number that is too low.

What is left after cost of goods
We divide your monthly fixed costs by the 26 days you open. Then we add one day of labor cost. Each customer covers only what is left after cost of goods. That is why the number is higher than your costs divided by the average check.

Questions restaurant owners ask
- How many covers do I need to break even?
- Enter your rent, insurance and loan payments as monthly fixed costs. Add one day of staff cost, your average ticket and your food cost percentage. The calculator counts only what is left from each cover after the cost of the food. That is why the true number is higher than costs divided by ticket price.
- When does KANJIN say a restaurant regular has stopped coming?
- After 21 days by default. A restaurant regular comes by habit, so three weeks away usually means they found somewhere else. You can change the number of days in the back office.
- Does it cost anything to use the calculators?
- No. The calculators need no account, and nothing you type is uploaded. The math runs in your browser. The back office is also free and needs a free account. Only the marketing step is paid.
