Most restaurants fail because of poor margins, not bad food.
Food service has high fixed costs (rent, staff) and thin margins. You'll learn food cost percentage (what % of revenue goes to ingredients? Usually 25-35%), labour cost percentage (what % to staff? Usually 25-35%), and the revenue per cover you need to stay profitable. You'll understand table turn rate (how many seatings per table per service?), average spend per cover, and break-even analysis. You'll discover why a 10% improvement in food cost or labour percentage (through smarter purchasing or better scheduling) is the difference between profit and loss.
