§ Action

Key Risks & Recommendations

Owner Overtime Burden

221.43 owner OT hours in 10 weeks. Hire a working manager to reclaim ownership bandwidth and stabilize labor cost.

Discount Creep

Discount % climbed from 10.7% → 13.7% → 18.0%. Tighten comp authority and audit promo usage weekly.

Concentrated Daypart

97% of revenue lands 5–9 PM. Test a happy-hour or brunch ramp to spread fixed-cost absorption.

Weekday Underutilization

Mon–Thu averages $1,970/day vs $5,255 weekend. Themed weeknights or prix-fixe can lift the floor.
