Unleash the power of AI for revenue forecasting

In an industry known for its energy and unpredictability, nailing down your financial future can feel like an impossible task. Viability’s state-of-the-art software taps into the power of artificial intelligence to offer you unparalleled insights four times a day, with revenue forecasting exceeding 95% accuracy. By leveraging colossal data sets and employing sophisticated algorithms, Viability deciphers fluctuating customer tastes, seasonal trends, and ever-changing market dynamics to cut through economic uncertainty.

Take advantage of dynamic benchmarking

With Viability, you can harness the power of dynamic benchmarking to know precisely how your business performs at any given moment. AI-powered software is your portal to this revolution, offering real-time insights on your live performance, analysing it against your COGS and labour spending goals, and guiding you towards improvement. With dynamic benchmarking, you’ll welcome a new reality where you continuously monitor your business’s heartbeat and adapt your strategies with real-world data.

Reconcile productivity and profit with AI-powered rostering

Rostering is the backbone of operations and profits in the hospitality industry. With advanced heat mapping and productivity measures at its core, Viability transforms rostering into a data-driven strategy. By comparing live staffing levels with live sales data, our AI identifies opportunities to enhance efficiency, reduce wasted resources, increase staff productivity, maximise profit margins, and avoid the costly mistakes of understaffing or overstaffing and ensure optimal operations.

Unlock new insights with intelligent supplier budgets

Viability takes the guesswork out of ordering with budget forecasts considering each supplier’s unique patterns, lead times, and costs. This ensures optimal outcomes from every partnership and streamlines the ordering process. The budget forecasts are intrinsically tied to Viability’s highly accurate revenue projections, meaning your budgets are precise and ensure you’re always poised for profitability, no matter the shifts in the industry landscape or daily revenue.

Master the relationship between fixed costs and break-even analysis

In the dynamic world of hospitality, understanding fixed costs – those inevitable expenses like rent and utilities – is like holding the compass to guide you towards your break-even point and onward to profitability. By leveraging vast data sets, Viability grants you detailed insights into these constant expenditures, revealing their real-time role in your financial health and their direct impact on your break-even calculations.

Navigate the profit landscape with live EBITDA forecasting

Live EBITDA forecasting is an AI-powered tool that acts like a GPS for business decisions, helping you avoid dead ends, skip wrong turns, and navigate directly towards profit with real-time, dynamic analysis. Viability’s live EBITDA forecasting offers continuous, up-to-date projections that help you go beyond crunching numbers to foster a culture of financial mindfulness, strategic agility, and constant improvement.

How Viable is
your business?

Replace the sample data with your numbers to calculate your viability

Your Weekly Stats

Revenue

Please adjust the slider to reflect your typical weekly gross revenue, including GST paid by your customers. Viability's calculator utilises net revenue, which is determined by automatically subtracting the industry average of 9% for GST and 0.6% for sales discounts from the gross revenue calculation (industry averages).
Revenue

Wages

Please adjust the slider to reflect your average labour cost for a standard and realistic week. This should include the superannuation you pay your employees and the cost of your mandatory WorkCover compensation. If you are the owner and receive a wage or salary, please include that cost in your calculations.
Wages

Cost of Goods

To determine the cost of goods for your sales, use the slider and enter the total amount spent on consumables, including GST. This encompasses all the items you purchase for preparing and selling your products, such as takeaway containers, cleaning supplies, pre-made food, raw ingredients, frying oil, and beverages. Viability will automatically compute the GST refund for you.
Cost of Goods

Overheads

To estimate your weekly fixed costs, adjust the slider accordingly. Fixed costs include all expenses unrelated to labour or COGS, such as rent, utilities, software subscriptions and fees, business insurance, accounting, bookkeeping, marketing, cleaning, maintenance, waste removal and oil traps.

Do not only consider your bills from this week. Reviewing the previous year's P&L to identify annual overheads is advisable. Adjust for inflation by multiplying the amount by 1.05, then divide by 52 to calculate your estimated weekly overheads total.

White Picket Coffee House, Ground Floor Coffee & Pulse Coffee Co.

To say that it has changed not only my profitability but my life would be an understatement. Being coffee shop owner for 13 years, I pride myself on being an efficient operator. But prior to discovering Viability, I used to drown in hours and hours of data entry and excel spreadsheets every week. Now, everything happens in the one spot, saving me so much time, and making me so much more efficient. I now have the time to do the most important job in my business: serve customers. Being so profitable now that I have Viability has enabled me to have more room in my labour budget, which has also led to increased sales… what a product!

Luigi Delicatessen

I literally have dashboard visibility to all the critical information I need to run a successful business and can make decisions based on facts, not guess work! This has enabled me to focus on what I do best, therefore becoming more productive, a better boss, a better dad, a better husband, a better friend and a much better business man!

Finally, someone has developed a program that encompasses everything (and I mean everything) to run a profitable, successful, true and efficient business. Thanks Pius and team Viability for saving us time, money and headaches. No more guessing with this accurate program.

Cotto & Platform 10

After using Viability over four years, I’d say it’s a win-win investment. This software simply makes it easier to run a profitable business. Nothing else can give me the same depth of insight. My managers and team use Viability to keep targets on track. It gives me back management time, grows business and makes the teams more engaged with success. It’s worth the investment ten times over.

Cheffy Chelby’s

As someone who absolutely has no tech experience and hates computers …I’m actually in love with using the system. I will make time in my day to actually get to know Viability. I’ve really have no idea about numbers in the past. I’ve totally avoided looking at my Xero, gone on the advice of my bookkeepers and my accountants. Just sort of gone with the flow, gone with my guts. And it’s really nice to see the actual data in Viability, and to be able to see where my guts have been right, and where they’ve been a little bit off.

Director, Cheffy Chelby's

Commitment Issues

Getting going as a solo operator by myself, using that as a platform really helped me grow my business, making sure I had the profits there to sustain me leaving my first venue to come open my second venue. It’s really helpful setting up a new venue. I love doing the rosters on there, they’re all costed for you. It makes it really really easy. My day is so much quicker now.
