How does the Profit Leak Calculator work?

The calculator scans 9 categories of hidden profit leaks — food waste, labor misallocation, staff turnover, menu mispricing, supplier overpayment, delivery platform bleed, beverage shrinkage, operational waste, and untracked comps. Answer 9 questions and get an estimated annual leak in dollars with a priority fix list.

Is the Profit Leak Calculator free?

Yes. No email required. Instant results. Built to give you the diagnosis free — the cure is where the value exchange happens.

How accurate is the profit leak estimate?

It's a directional estimate based on industry benchmarks and your inputs. Most operators find the actual number is higher than the estimate because the calculator only catches what you can self-report.

72-Hour Profit Discovery Calculator

I'm Christian Schiffner. German Master Chef who rebuilt from addiction and $370K debt using systematic frameworks. This calculator uses the same diagnostic I ran on my own operation — found $41,000 in preventable leaks. Takes 7-10 hours across 3 days. No software required.

Check each statement that's true for your restaurant. Be honest. The numbers only work if they're real.

This isn't about perfection. It's about identifying your #1 priority and fixing it while you're exhausted. One leak at a time. That's how I rebuilt. That's how this works.

Your Estimated Annual Leak

Check the items above that apply to your restaurant.

That's $0/month walking out your door. $0/week.
