UNIT ECONOMICS & MARGIN DISCIPLINE AUDIT

Find where sales stop becoming profit.

For restaurants where sales, food cost, labour, discounts, delivery, wastage, pricing, or overhead behaviour are weakening contribution.

Unit Economics & Margin Discipline Audit

Not all revenue is equal

Revenue can grow while profit weakens. Discounts can increase orders while destroying contribution. Delivery can add sales while increasing operating load. This audit identifies where money is leaking between sales, cost, channels, operations, and profit.

Best fit

  • Weak or Unclear Profit

    Sales are present, but profit is weak or unclear.

  • Unstable Food Cost

    Food cost, wastage, or purchase behaviour is unstable.

  • Labour Productivity

    Labour cost is high but productivity is unclear.

  • Channel Margin Pressure

    Discounts, delivery, or aggregators are affecting margin.

  • Unclear P&L

    The founder does not fully trust the P&L picture.

How the audit works

  • Review the Numbers

    We review available sales, cost, channel, labour, discount, purchase, and P&L information.

  • Connect Numbers to Behaviour

    We identify which operating behaviours are creating the financial result.

  • Find Leakage Points

    We map the areas where revenue, cost, or control is weakening contribution.

  • Prioritise Margin Discipline

    We recommend the actions that can create better control and profitability.

Frequently asked questions

Is this accounting or finance consulting?

No. This is an operating view of unit economics. The focus is how daily restaurant behaviour affects margin, contribution, and profitability.

Do we need a full P&L?

A P&L helps, but the audit can also use available sales reports, purchase data, food cost signals, labour information, discount data, and channel mix.

Will this include delivery economics?

Yes. Delivery, aggregators, discounts, packaging, commissions, and channel mix are part of the margin picture.

Can this help with pricing?

Yes. Pricing can be reviewed in relation to menu contribution, guest value, cost movement, and channel behaviour.

Protect the margin behind the sale.

Growth only matters when sales convert into contribution and control.
