This is a planning estimate, not a live prep count. It doesn't know who actually skipped today. TiffinCloud's Prep Board does that part automatically, built from your real subscriber list.
Why this number is worth getting right
Most kitchens learn their real monthly meal count the hard way. They either over-buy rice and rotis every week and quietly eat the waste, or under-order and scramble on a busy day. A rough number ahead of time, even a manually entered one, beats no number at all.
The skip/pause rate matters more than it looks like it should. A kitchen with 200 subscribers and a 5% skip rate is cooking for roughly 190 people on any given day, not 200. That looks small on paper, but it adds up to real rice and gas over a month.
If tracking who actually skipped today (instead of guessing a flat percentage) is the next step, that's what a proper tiffin management system is for.
