How Many LPG Cylinders Does a Restaurant Use Per Month? Cost Calculator
Most Indian restaurants use between 8-15 commercial LPG cylinders per month, depending on kitchen size and daily orders. A small café serving 30-50 customers daily might need 8-10 cylinders, while a busy restaurant serving 150+ customers can go through 12-15 cylinders monthly.
Quick Cost Calculator
A 19kg commercial cylinder costs ₹1,750-₹2,100 in most cities. For a mid-size restaurant using 12 cylinders monthly, that's ₹21,000-₹25,000 in LPG costs alone. High-volume kitchens running tandoors or multiple burners simultaneously will see higher consumption—sometimes 18-20 cylinders monthly, pushing costs to ₹35,000+.
Factors That Increase Gas Usage
- •Tandoor or clay oven operations (very high consumption)
- •Poor burner maintenance reducing efficiency
- •Long cooking hours or 24-hour cloud kitchens
- •Menu items requiring extended cooking times
Track your cylinder usage weekly to spot inefficiencies. Switching to energy-efficient burners can cut consumption by 15-20%. While managing fuel costs, also digitize operations—DineCard (dinecard.in) creates QR menus in 5 minutes for just ₹99/month.
