Next, enter National Holidays and Weekends per year.

To calculate your Midweek per Year, the model will subtract weekends & holidays.

DASHBOARD - COGS INPUTS COGS - you have the opportunity to input a percentage of the COGS for the products you sell.

Seasonality tab is to make sure every deviation is planned.

VARIABLE EXPENSES INPUTS Go to the V_Expenses tab Enter in the column Variable Expenses your wouldbe percentage of various spending from your total revenue.

Variable expenses tend to go up and down depending on sales.

Thus, variable expenses tab displays 6 placeholders, which is more than enough to calculate Food Truck variable expenses.

The tab shows you typed-in indexes and expenses based on them.

For instance, let’s calculate the bank fee, let it be 1%. Put the number in the “variable expenses” cell, press Enter and get exact calculations done

8

FIXED EXPENSES INPUTS Go to the F_Expenses tab On this tab, you can enter forecasted different fixed expenses in order to start running the business.

You have multiple options of when to start to accrue the expense and when to end accruing.

You may define periodicity of the accrue for each expense.

WAGES EXPENSES INPUTS Go to the Wages tab Wages tab contains the placeholder list. A placeholder can be a person, or position, or a group of people.

Each row specifies their hire and fire dates, annual salary and Full-Time Equivalent count.

Each expense item has a purchase date, payment delay time and amount of money spent.

12

DASHBOARD - DEBT INPUTS Go to the Dashboard tab Debt - here you have to enter the interest rate, debt repayment period and the amount of debt.

There are two debt types: -

annuity (paid back in installments of the same size consisting of a loan repayment portion and an interest portion) and

In addition, there is also a grant or non-repayable funding. Usually, it is given by a government department.

13

DASHBOARD - SAFETY STOCK INPUTS Go to the Dashboard tab Safety stock shows the inventory safety level you should keep.

This indicator is applied to all production costs. If one gets 1000$ selling by net costs, we should maintain 1000$ safety stock and buy additional supplies to keep the safety level high. If you enter 20%, the algorithm will calculate how many supplies should be bought.

Safety stock level can be seen in the Inventory section in the balance sheet.

This way you’re all geared up to business!
