Against your own numbers
Your pack sizes, your prices, your recorded sales
FunnelCake runs this same arithmetic on your catalog instead of on averages, alongside however you already take money.
Two game weeks freeWhy the same crowd buys differently by sport
Attendance alone is a weak predictor. An outdoor football night in October sells hot food to a big share of the crowd; the same two thousand people in a gym in January buy drinks and walk past the grill. Tournaments invert it again — people are there all day, so per-head spend climbs well above a single-game figure.
A percentage is also not an order. Franks come 24 to a pack and buns 16 to a bag, and those numbers do not divide into each other cleanly — which is why most stands end a season with buns in the freezer.
Why what else you sell changes every row
A crowd buys about the same amount of food whatever is on the board — the board only decides how it splits. With the grill open for burgers, chicken and fries, hot dogs are about a tenth of the food a stand sells. On a night without the grill they are about a third of it. Tick what you actually sell and the table divides each category the same way.
