Frequently asked questions

How does working capital drive cash flow in a Restaurant model?

For a Restaurant business, fast cash sales against ~35% food cost, rent and fit-out give quick receipts but a heavy upfront cash gap. Enter DSO, DIO and DPO and the model converts them into the period-by-period working-capital movement that either consumes or releases cash — the difference between a profit projection and a real cash forecast.

How many years should a Restaurant cashflow forecast cover?

Typically 3–5 years. Monthly forecasts are best kept to a few years for runway and seasonality; the free tier covers 3 years and premium extends to 25.
