Описание: Stop guessing about your restaurant's profit. In this video, I’ll show you how to perform a simple 10-minute financial health checkup using three key numbers: Prime Cost, Revenue Per Labor Hour, and Average Guest Check. I’ll explain what each number means, how to calculate it, and exactly what to do next if your number is in the red. Download the free calculator below to run your own checkup instantly.
