Editorial Guide

Chapter 01

Ledger thinking beats gut feel

Restaurants often know food cost percent but not rupee margin per Swiggy order after fees. A ledger per order shows whether bestsellers subsidize loss-makers.

Chapter 02

Reading net margin

Margin percent without rupees hides small-ticket problems: 20% on ₹120 is ₹24, which may not cover kitchen variability. Always read both.

Chapter 03

Worked example

₹350 ticket, ₹40 packaging, 22% commission, ₹25 payment fee → net often ₹55–75 before ads. A ₹50 sponsored listing fee on that order can erase profit.

Chapter 04

Limitations

Does not pull live aggregator APIs—reconcile weekly with settlement CSVs and your CA for GST credits.
