The Busy Restaurant That Went Bankrupt: A Cautionary Tale
"But We Were Always Full..."
This is the most heartbreaking sentence in the hospitality industry. You see it all the time. A favorite local spot, always buzzing with energy, suddenly closes its doors.
How does that happen? Volume does not equal Value.
You are likely sitting in your office right now, looking at last month's P&L, wondering: "We did 400 covers last Friday. Where is the cash?"
The Three Hidden Leaks
Your profits are bleeding out in ways you can't see from the floor.
- The Inventory Black Hol: Your chef ordered 5kg of sea bass. You sold 3kg. Where is the other 2kg? Spoilage? Over-portioning? Theft? Without real-time tracking, you're paying for food nobody ate.
- The "Just in Case" Staffing: You were traumatized by that one understaffed Saturday, so now you schedule 5 servers when you only need 3. That extra labor cost eats 8% of your margin instantly.
- The Static Price: You sell your stake for €25 on Tuesday (when the place is empty) and €25 on Saturday (when you have a line out the door). You are leaving money on the table.
