But how do you know if your revenue kitchen is running smoothly? By measuring the right ingredients, of course! Let’s explore the key RevOps metrics that will help you whip up a recipe for success:

Essential 5 Metrics for a Flavorful Revenue Dish

1. Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC)

How much does it cost to bring a new customer to the table? Knowing your CAC helps you budget wisely and ensure you’re not overspending on ingredients.

2. Lifetime Value (LTV)

How much revenue can you expect from a customer over their entire relationship with your restaurant? LTV helps you understand which customers are your VIPs and how to keep them coming back for more.

3. Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR)

This is your bread and butter – the predictable, steady revenue you can count on each month. It’s a key indicator of your restaurant’s financial health and growth potential.

4. Customer Satisfaction Score (CSAT)

A measure of how satisfied customers are with your product or service.

5. Customer Churn Rate

Were we losing customers faster than we could acquire them? Low churn was crucial for sustainable growth.
