Most operators know something is leaking, fewer know which pipe. This five-minute check asks 15 honest questions across the five systems every food business runs on: cost control, team, marketing, revenue channels and compliance. You get a score, a per-area breakdown, and a where-to-start plan pointing at the exact free tools on this site that fix each gap.
A quick restaurant health check covers five areas: cost control (do you know your food cost weekly?), team (attrition, SOPs, transparent tips), marketing (Google Business Profile, reviews, direct guest channels), revenue (delivery economics, daily numbers, menu engineering), and compliance (FSSAI, hygiene readiness, records). Scoring below 55% overall means big wins are available fast.
Do you know your current food cost percentage?
Are your recipes costed with portion specs?
Do you run stock counts and track wastage?
How is your staff attrition?
Do written SOPs and checklists exist for shifts?
Is tip/service-charge distribution transparent?
Your Google Business Profile is…
Google review volume and response?
Do you have direct channels to past guests (WhatsApp list, loyalty)?
Delivery economics: do you know your true net per aggregator order?
Do you track average check and covers daily?
Menu profitability: do you know your stars and dogs?
FSSAI license status?
Would you pass a surprise hygiene inspection?
Food safety records (temperature logs, medical checks, training)?
Mostly good news: it means the gap between you and a well-run outlet is process, not talent or capital. Operators scoring under 55% typically find 3-5 points of margin and measurable review growth within a quarter just by installing the basics, costed recipes, a DSR habit, a GBP routine, published tip maths.
Cost control, almost always, it is the fastest payback and funds everything else. Then compliance if the FSSAI answers were shaky (that risk is existential, not incremental), then marketing, which compounds slowest but longest. The tool's where-to-start section applies exactly this sequencing to your answers.
That is literally our business: Hospiminds runs a free one-week audit that turns these gaps into a prioritised plan with numbers attached, and our AI tools on app.hospiminds.com automate the reviews, loyalty and reporting side. The health check is the honest first step either way.
