Pub P&L Lite — know if last week made money, in five minutes

Most licensees find out how the quarter went about three months after it's too late to do anything about it.

This is the short version of the weekly system I built running a gastropub for 18 years. Three tabs. Five minutes to set up, five minutes every Monday.

You type in your till figures, purchases and wages. It gives you:

• Net sales, covers and spend per head
• GP on wet and food, flagged red if they drift off your targets
• Labour as a percentage of sales
• How this week compares to last
• A full profit and loss for the week, down to net profit
• The break even sales you needed just to stand still

No subscription. No account. No accounting knowledge needed. Works in Excel or free LibreOffice. Formulas are locked so you can't break it — you only ever type in the yellow cells.

Plain English instruction guide included.

Built by Phil Bennett, who bought, ran and sold a multi award winning gastropub over 18 years and now manufactures for the hospitality trade.

It's free. Take it, use it, and tell me what you think.
