How we worked this out
Card takings assumed at about £90,761 a month: 2,241 covers a month from your Friday figure, £45 a head, 90% paid by card, across 840 payments. Card volume is as entered and not scaled by sites; per-location subscriptions are.

A typical band is a reported range for a provider that only quotes; a saving can rest on one, a “more” result never does.
Where a provider publishes a range, the headline uses its midpoint.
