Calculate What You're Losing Every Month
Fill in YOUR real numbers. This isn't theory—it's what's happening in your business today.
Takes 2 minutes. The answer might shock you.
Count transactions, not people walking by. Check your POS system or daily receipts. Rough estimate is fine—the calculator still shows the opportunity.
Yesterday's total sales ÷ number of transactions = average ticket. Include everything—food, drinks, products.
Labor: Staff time cleaning × hourly wage. Example: 40 min/day × 30 days = 20 hours × $20/hour = $400
Supplies: Chemicals, soap, air freshener. Example: ~$120/month
Total typical example: $520/month
"But My Staff Already Cleans The Restrooms..."
Question: When your restaurant is slammed during dinner rush, who's checking the restrooms?
It only takes one customer finding a dirty restroom at 7:30 PM to leave a one-star review and never come back. Meanwhile, your staff is too busy serving customers to notice.
Question: What's your server worth per hour serving tables vs. cleaning toilets?
If your server generates $100/hour in sales but spends 40 minutes daily cleaning restrooms, you're losing $67 in opportunity cost—plus paying them $13 to clean. That's $80/day, $2,400/month you're burning.
Question: How many customers don't complain—they just never come back?
Research shows 96% of unhappy customers don't complain. They silently leave and tell 15 people about their experience. You never hear about it. You just wonder why revenue is flat.
What The Research Actually Shows
These aren't marketing claims. These are peer-reviewed studies from Bradley Corporation (16-year study), Harris Poll, Cintas Corporation, and academic journals.
- ✓ Clean restrooms increase customer dwell time by 12-18% (more browsing = more sales)
- ✓ 88% of restaurant customers believe dirty restroom = dirty kitchen
- ✓ 75% won't return after finding a dirty restroom—even if the food/products are good
- ✓ 89% check online reviews specifically mentioning restrooms before visiting
- ✓ One bad restroom experience gets shared with an average of 15 people
The question isn't whether restroom quality matters.
The question is: How much is it costing YOU to ignore it?
