Calculate your hourly cost at a cafe (drink price ÷ stay time) and get a manner score with reorder timing guidance.
This calculation is for reference only. Cafe etiquette and seat turnover standards vary by location. Check store notices and consider ordering again for extended stays.
Generally, ordering an additional drink after 1-2 hours is considered good manners. During busy periods, be mindful of seat turnover. Policies vary by cafe, so check any posted notices.
Hourly cost = Total drink cost ÷ Stay time (hours). For example, a $4.50 coffee over a 3-hour stay equals $1.50/hour.
Study cafes are designed for extended stays (4+ hour turnover), while regular cafes typically expect 1-2 hours and franchise cafes around 2 hours.
If you plan to stay beyond the standard turnover time, ordering an additional drink or dessert is good etiquette. This calculator helps you identify that timing.
Check how efficiently you're using your cafe seat. Calculate the hourly cost based on your drink price and stay time, and get a manner score with reorder guidance. Choose from regular cafe, franchise, or study cafe turnover standards for a personalized analysis.
