How the Dining and Going Out Score Is Calculated

The overall score is a weighted average across nine indicators. Nomadino calculates: dining and going out score = inexpensive restaurant meal × 0.25 + burger menu × 0.15 + cappuccino in a cafe × 0.12 + local beer in a restaurant × 0.12 + local beer in a market × 0.08 + imported beer in a market × 0.08 + cocktail in a bar × 0.10 + mid-range wine bottle × 0.05 + supermarket soft drink × 0.05.

Inexpensive restaurant meal: 25%
Burger menu: 15%
Cappuccino in a cafe: 12%
Local beer in a restaurant: 12%
Local beer 0.5 l in a market: 8%
Imported beer 0.33 l in a market: 8%
Cocktail in a bar: 10%
Mid-range wine bottle: 5%
Supermarket soft drink 0.33 l: 5%

Nomadino uses normalized indicator scores on a 0 to 100 scale, where higher means lower prices for the respective dining or drink item. Restaurant meals, burger menus, cappuccino, restaurant beer and cocktails describe the core everyday cost of dining and going out. These five indicators make up 74% of the score and deliberately dominate the ranking.

Supermarket beer, imported beer, wine bottles and soft drinks remain included at a combined 26% because they add useful context for general drink and price levels. They are weighted lower so this ranking does not shift too far toward food and basic groceries. If an indicator is removed with the checkbox, Nomadino divides by the sum of the remaining weights, preserving the relative importance of the active indicators.
