RevPASH (Revenue Per Available Seat Hour) is the restaurant/hospitality equivalent of hotel RevPAR. It measures how effectively seating capacity generates revenue. Formula: total revenue ÷ (seats × operating hours). Higher RevPASH means the restaurant extracts more value from its fixed seating capacity.
80-seat restaurant, 12 operating hours, 15,000 daily revenue. RevPASH = 15,000 ÷ (80 × 12) = 15.63/seat-hour. That's solid for casual dining. Fine dining might hit 30-50/seat-hour (higher price, longer dwell); fast casual 8-15 (lower price, faster turnover).
RevPASH improvement levers: reduce average meal duration (faster turnover = more covers per hour), increase average check size (upselling, menu engineering), improve off-peak utilisation (happy hour, early-bird specials). Best restaurants optimise all three simultaneously. Even 10% RevPASH improvement adds meaningful annual revenue.
Run it with sensible defaults
Using total revenue of 15,000, seats of 80, service hours of 12, the calculation works out to 15.63. Nudge the inputs toward your own situation and the output recalculates instantly. The defaults are meant as a starting point, not a recommendation.
The levers in this calculation
The inputs — Total Revenue, Seats, and Service Hours — do not pull with equal force. Not every input has equal weight. Flip one at a time toward extreme values to feel which ones move the needle most for your situation.
How the math works
RevPASH = total revenue ÷ (seats × service hours). The working is transparent — you can verify every step yourself in the formula section below. No black box, no opaque "proprietary model".
Using this as a check-in
Re-run this every three months. A single reading tells you where you stand; four readings tell you whether things are improving. The trend matters more than any individual snapshot.
What this doesn't capture
The score is a composite of the inputs you provide. Life context — job security, family obligations, health, housing — doesn't appear in the math but shapes the real picture. Use the number as a prompt, not a verdict.
£15,000 £ ÷ (80 × 12 hours) = $15.63.
