The Assumption Tax

from Plating Profit Hosted by Steven Bonin

A few months ago I sat down with two operators who had been building their lunch program for weeks. Solid concept. Good product. Pricing model they felt confident about. One core item - a specialty bread - costed at $2.00 a portion. The actual cost was $0.78. That gap between what they thought it cost and what it actually cost: that's what I call the Assumption Tax. And every F&B operator I've ever worked with is paying it. Most don't know it exists. That's what Episode 03 is about. New episodes every two weeks Free P.R.O.F.I.T.
