Bundle Analyser Tool
Price up a meal deal or bundle and see whether it still makes good money — its contribution and margin per bundle, and whether it stays within your cost-of-sales budget.
How to use this tool
Bundle analyser
When to use this tool
Use it when building a discounted deal — a meal deal, drink-and-snack combo or sharing platter — to check each bundle’s contribution and margin against your cost-of-sales budget, and see what you’d make at the volume you forecast.
Currency, tax & royalties
These live in the toolbar and work the same on every tool:
- Currency
- Pick your currency from the selector — it relabels the tax field to match your region.
- Tax rate
- Type your tax rate in the field beside the currency, or set it to 0 if you don’t want to factor in tax.
- Royalties / commission
- Optional. Switch on “Factor in royalties or commission” to open a panel where you set the rate with the slider (or type it exactly), rename it Royalty or Commission, and charge it on net or gross sales.
Bundle analyser features
What you enter for this tool, and what it gives back:
- The items
- A row for every product in the deal — the whole analysis is built from this table. For each: whether it’s food or drink, how many are in the bundle (Qty), its normal individual price (inc tax), what it costs you to make (ex tax) and how many you sell a period on its own.
- Bundle name
- A short name for the deal. It shows in the verdict and on the PDF report, so you can tell scenarios apart.
- Budgeted C.O.S / GP
- Your target food and drink cost of sales — or flip the toggle to gross profit. Not sure? Leave the typical 35% food / 25% drink. The tool blends the two by this bundle’s food/drink mix and checks the deal against it.
- Bundle price & discount
- The single price for the whole deal, or the discount off buying the items separately — each one fills in the other.
- Sales forecast
- How many bundles you expect to sell in a period, plus the most you realistically could (which caps the sliders). It drives your total contribution and the verdict, so set it honestly.
- Chart & verdict
- The chart plots total contribution as bundle sales grow, with a marker at your forecast. The verdict sums it up — contribution, margin, C.O.S or GP against budget, and any royalty — flagging issues in red.

- Re‑opens a bundle you saved earlier.
- PDF report
- Generates a clean PDF of the analysis, ready to save, print or share.
Jargon buster
- Contribution
- Net revenue less cost of sales and any royalty or commission — what a sale adds before labour and overheads.
- Cost of sales (C.O.S)
- What the product costs you to make or buy — ingredients, packaging and waste — usually shown as a % of net revenue. Excludes labour and overheads.
- Gross profit & %
- Net revenue less cost of sales; the % expresses it as a share of net revenue — the mirror of cost‑of‑sales %.
- Gross revenue
- The total the customer pays, including tax.
- Labour
- The wage cost of the staff involved, usually shown as a cash figure or a % of net revenue.
- Margin of safety
- How far sales could fall before you stop making a profit — the cushion between your forecast and break‑even.
- Net revenue
- Gross revenue with tax removed — all the margin maths is worked on this figure.
- Royalty / commission
- A fee paid as a % of each sale, charged on net or gross. Optional — switch it on only if your business pays one.
