I am stuck in my project. The specific objective is trying to calculate profit. I am trying to calculate the total cost for every single order that every customer has ever made and calculate that as my total cost. I want to take that total cost and subtract it from my total revenue. By doing so I would have my total profit value. After that, I would show the total revenue - total cost = profit function in a respective HTML table. Each time a customer places an order
I was working with my tutor and helped me write a cost_of_items(self) function that on line 19 in the models.py file.
I have been tasked with trying to create a function to get the total revenue for every order. In order to do this my first step was to set a primary key for MenuItem. I was hoping that when an order is made an id would spit out for each recipe, and than if there are mutliple items ordered than it would spit out an id for each plate ordered. Than it would grab those values, and it would than calculate the cost of each ingredient by the price per unit and than add to total revenue += by the total cost of all the ingredients for all of the orders. I think my logic may be flawed in some way or the design is wrong.
My logic so far is:
def ingredient_cost_calculate(request):
cost_per_ingredient = Ingredient.price_per_unit * Ingredient.quantity
for cost in cost_per_ingredient:
total_cost_per_meal = cost_per_ingredient += total_cost_per_meal
am I on the right track?
