DON’T JUST ASK THE PRICE.
ASK WHAT IT CAN RETURN.
Estimate how an equipment investment could contribute to additional sales and understand the approximate payback period before moving forward.
YOUR ASSUMPTIONS
Enter operating assumptions to estimate the contribution generated by the opportunity.

Real-time decision support model based on your inputs.
Enter Your Assumptions
Enter your assumptions on the left and click "Calculate My ROI" to view the estimated gross contribution and payback period.
GROSS CONTRIBUTION / ORDER
Selling price minus direct product cost.
ESTIMATED MONTHLY CONTRIBUTION
Estimated contribution generated by additional orders.
ESTIMATED PAYBACK PERIOD
Approximate time required to equal initial investment.
Based on your assumptions, the setup could generate positive monthly gross contribution.
Use this as a starting point to evaluate equipment, workflow, and menu opportunity together.
Based on these inputs, direct product cost is equal to or higher than the selling price. Review the pricing or cost assumptions before calculating payback.
THE NUMBER IS ONLY PART OF THE DECISION.
A strong equipment decision also depends on production capacity, service speed, workflow, menu demand, operating hours and after-sales support.
Illustrative estimate only. Actual results may vary depending on selling price, product mix, ingredient cost, demand, operating hours, workflow, equipment utilization and other business conditions. This calculation does not represent guaranteed profit or financial return.
How Successful Operators Evaluate Equipment Investments
A machine purchase should never be evaluated on sticker price alone. By calculating incremental ticket margin and labor turnaround, operators understand true payback speed.
Specialty Coffee Bar Upgrade
Transitioning from a 1-group espresso machine to a 2-group dual-boiler commercial unit. Upgrading allows the café to serve 40 additional cups during the 08:00–10:00 morning rush without barista steam pressure lag.
Adding Hot Food via Speed Oven
Introducing artisanal toasties, croissants, and chicken skewers using a ventless high-speed oven. With an average ticket increase of IDR 35,000 per food order, a beverage-only shop adds new gross contribution without hiring chefs.
Refrigerated Prep Line Optimization
Installing a stainless steel 2-door undercounter chiller directly beneath the barista prep bench. Eliminating 15 steps per order increases barista throughput by 20% and prevents dairy spoilage in tropical ambient heat.
