Know what eats your profit.
Know what to do next.
Where is the margin going?

Can I afford another cook?
Run a staffing what-if: hourly and weekly hiring costs, plus the extra sales needed to break even.
Are we improving each month?
Bring in your sales export for a profit snapshot, then compare month to month—not just how busy it felt.
