ROI calculator

Is Beezbites worth it even with a fee on every app order?
Net impact and ROI at a glance.

This calculator deliberately assumes that every order placed through the app is subject to commission. Card payment fees from Stripe are borne by the restaurant separately. What matters is therefore not whether existing revenue is digitised, but how little extra value per order is needed for the model to still pay off.

The scenarios below are intentionally cautious: we start from the minimum plausible effect that still makes a difference — not the best case. The focus is mainly on table upsells. Extra effects from visible events, more table reservations via form, optional delivery, or the Speisekammer shop for products such as olive oil and wine are not included. Everything the calculator shows is therefore more of a lower-bound estimate; there is plenty of room upward.

Delivery & pickup — illustrative example (not part of the ROI calculation)

This calculator models only the on-site / table rate (€0.15 + 2.49%). For delivery and pickup, €0.25 + 6.99% plus Stripe apply. At a commonly market-typical commission of about 14% for simple ordering platforms, restaurant costs on a €25 order are about €3.50. With Beezbites (6.99% + €0.25 plus Stripe, typical DE/EEA guide about 1.5% + €0.25) they are about €2.63 — roughly €0.87 less per order; at 100 orders of €25, about €87 savings potential per month. Simple ordering platforms often also charge a service fee to the guest; Beezbites does not add a separate platform service fee for the guest. Illustrative calculation; market-typical portal terms and Stripe rates are indicative and contract-dependent.

First, your real baseline figures: these two values apply to all scenarios and stay the same when you switch between Cautious, Realistic, and Strong.

Monthly revenue
Total revenue per month.
Average check
Estimates order count (monthly revenue ÷ check).

Share of revenue via the app
All orders placed through your app.
%
Beezbites fee
€0.15 fixed fee per completed payment (once per payment, not per order when settled together) plus 2.49% of order values — platform commission for on-site / table only. Stripe fees are not included and are paid by the restaurant.
Fixed fee per payment
Beezbites fixed fee in cents per completed payment. Reorders by the same guests do not increase the payment count in the model.
15ct
Percentage of order values
Percentage of the order value, added to the fixed fee.
2.49%
Monthly base fee
Optional: fixed monthly fee in addition to commission-based billing.
Stripe fees (restaurant)
On average, typical card payments DE/EEA: 1.5% + €0.25 per payment. The restaurant bears the Stripe fees. The model treats all app payments as online card payments for simplicity.
Stripe fixed fee per payment
Fixed amount per card payment. In the model once per app payment — same cadence as the Beezbites fixed fee.
0.25
Stripe percentage
Percentage of the order value, added to the Stripe fixed fee.

Revenue levers
Separate levers without double-counting: check size, reorders by the same guests, table turns.
Check uplift (app revenue)
Higher average check on existing app orders (upsell, extras, placement).
%
Extra orders from existing guests
Reorders by the same guests (e.g. dessert, second drink). Based on estimated app orders — excluding table turns.
%
More orders from table turns
Extra orders from faster table turnover and more guests served. Most plausible in busy restaurants. Based on all estimated monthly orders; the app share is reflected via “Share of revenue via the app”.
%
Economics
Contribution margin on incremental revenue and manual effects.
Variable costs on incremental revenue
Cost of goods and other variable costs only on the additional revenue generated.
%
Monthly operational relief
For example less service effort, fewer errors, less friction.
Monthly extra costs
For example extra kitchen load or organisational overhead.
