Understanding Partnership Profitability

Catering partnerships are a fantastic, low-effort revenue stream for many venues. However, it's important to understand your actual profit margin, not just the top-line commission revenue.

This tool calculates your profit margin on the commission you earn by subtracting any direct costs you incur to maintain the partnership. These costs can include administrative time for managing referrals, the cost of hosting tastings for the caterer's clients, or any co-marketing expenses.

Formula: Profit Margin (%) = ( (Commission Revenue - Your Direct Costs) / Commission Revenue ) × 100
