Appliances & electricity
Find it on your electricity bill: total bill amount ÷ units consumed. Commercial connections are often ₹8–12 per unit.
The wattage is printed on the appliance label or in its manual (e.g. induction 2000 W, air fryer 1500 W, microwave 1200 W, mixer 750 W). Then in tab 2, add how many minutes each menu item uses an appliance, and the electricity cost is added to its COGS.
| Appliance | Wattage | Cost per hour | Cost per minute |
|---|
Always-on appliances (fixed monthly electricity: deep freezer, fridge, lights, exhaust fan…)
A freezer or fridge compressor switches on and off, so it doesn't draw its full wattage all day. For a freezer that's on 24 hours, enter about 10–12 hours, or use the units per day on its star-rating label.

COGS = food + packaging + electricity (ingredients in a category named "Packaging" count as packaging; electricity comes from the appliances added to each item). Platform fees = the discount you fund + commission + payment fee + GST on those fees. Net profit = selling price − platform fees − COGS: what you actually keep per order. Click an item name to see COGS, fees, profit, suggested price and the full breakdown.
Profit % colour: green = meets your target, amber = slightly below, red = well below. Suggested = the lowest Zomato/Swiggy price that meets your target profit. COGS updates automatically whenever an ingredient price changes.
The ▲ ▼ arrows to rearrange items and categories only appear while the order is unlocked: click 🔒 Order locked to unlock, rearrange, then click it again to lock. Click Mark final on an item once its costing and price are done: its row turns green. If its COGS or price changes later, the row turns amber so you know to re-check it.

Suggested menu
An offer for every category so each one has a reason to sell: Buy 1 get 1 on cold drinks, 20% off on hot drinks and sides, a free cold drink with food. Set each category's 🎯 target and each item's offer here; the price is the lowest one that reaches the target with that offer (it can go up or down), or type your own. Nothing changes in your menu until you press Set final price, which saves the price and offer and marks the item final.
Combo ideas
Combos suggested from your menu. A good combo raises the order value while keeping your profit %. Each food item is paired with the drink or side that earns the most. Profit uses Zomato's commission and fees on the combo price.
