Calculation Methodology
Six cost categories combined into total startup investment:
- ① RenovationDriven by store floor area × a per-area fit-out cost that varies by vertical (cafe / izakaya higher; bento / beverage shop lower). Adjust the estimator inputs to your local fit-out rates.
- ② Kitchen EquipmentVaries widely by vertical: hotpot needs IH stove + ventilation; izakaya needs grill + fridge; beverage shop needs a sealing machine. Adjust to local equipment prices.
- ③ Deposit + First Month RentStandard 2-month deposit + 1 month rent paid upfront.
- ④ First Month LaborBased on staff count × an average monthly wage (incl. mandatory contributions). Adjust to your local minimum wage.
- ⑤ Marketing / Opening PromoGoogle ads, IG/FB, opening discounts, KOL invites — typically 5-10% of monthly revenue.
- ⑥ 6-Month Working CapitalCash buffer for 6 months of operating expenses (rent, payroll, ingredients) before reaching breakeven.
Disclaimer: Default values are starting estimates only and are fully user-adjustable. Actual costs vary significantly by location, vertical, and operator choices — tune every input to your own figures.
