Your food cost is your biggest lever. Start pulling it.

You're scaling, but you've lost visibility.
You've got spreadsheets, emails, and managers texting you updates — and you still feel in the dark about what's going wrong. By the time a cost spike shows up in your P&L, you've already lost the margin.
What worked at two locations is chaos at eight. Every GM is running slightly different recipes. Portion sizes drift. Specs get forgotten. Guests notice. Reviews reflect it. And every menu decision gets made on assumptions you can't validate.
Stop finding out about cost spikes in the P&L.
