What it doesn't cover
This measures gross margin: ingredients only. It doesn't include labor, rent, or waste. Those are where most of the real money hides, and they're what a free 15-minute Café Numbers Check-up walks through.
Want the labor and rent side too?
We'll walk through your real food and labor cost and where the profit is leaking. No pitch, no pressure. Anything sensitive goes through the secure portal once we're set up.
