Work out what this actually costs you.
Your numbers and our published price, added up in your browser. No email box, nothing sent anywhere, and no result held back.
It can tell you we are the more expensive option. If that is what your numbers say, that is what it says.
The arithmetic
Nothing worked out yet.
Fill in the form and press Work it out. If this page cannot run scripts, the whole sum is written out below in words — it is four numbers and three operations, and it works the same on paper.
How this is worked out, in full.
One sentence, and you can check it with a pen:
What you pay now, plus the minutes a day you told us divided by 60, times what you told us an hour costs, times the days a month you are open — minus the number of screens you want times our price per screen. That is the difference for one month. Times twelve is the year.
If you leave the three time questions blank, the middle term is not in the sum at all. We do not put a number there for you.
| Number | What it is | Where it comes from |
|---|---|---|
| How many kitchen screens do you want? | screens | You type it. We never fill it in or suggest a value. |
| What do you pay for your current system each month? | dollars per month | You type it. We never fill it in or suggest a value. |
| Minutes of work a day you expect this to save you | minutes per day | You type it. We never fill it in or suggest a value. |
| Days a month you are open | days per month | You type it. We never fill it in or suggest a value. |
| What an hour of that work costs you | dollars per hour | You type it. We never fill it in or suggest a value. |
| Our price per screen | $19.99 a month | Our own published price. It is on the pricing page, in a table, with no form in front of it. |

What this will not do
Four things this calculator refuses to do.
- It will not guess what you save. We have no measured figure for minutes saved per shift, per ticket or per anything else, so there is no default in that box and there is no industry average behind it. If you have measured it in your own kitchen, use your number. If you have not, leave it blank and the sum runs without it.
- It will not assume you pay nothing today. A blank is a blank. If you run on paper and your software bill really is nothing, type 0 and it will use 0 — because then it is your answer, not our assumption.
- It will not compare you to anybody else’s price. Other systems’ prices belong on the comparison page, where each one is printed next to the date we checked it and a link to where we read it. A number about somebody else’s money with no source beside it does not go on a page like this one.
- It will not ask for your email to show you the answer. There is no form in front of the result, no “send me a copy”, and nothing you type here leaves your browser — it is added up on your own device and forgotten when you close the tab.
The price this uses is published in full, and the trial is 30 days with no card. If you would rather have somebody walk through it with you, ask for a setup call.
