Condensed P&L (Actual)
- 1
Food cost ran 2.9 points over budget this month, consistent with the vendor pricing trend flagged in last month's report. This is the leading driver of the prime cost overage.
- 2
Labor came in 2.6 points over budget. Scheduling wasn't adjusted for the softer-than-projected sales month, so labor as a percent of actual sales moved further from target than the dollar variance alone shows.
- 3
Maintenance is the single largest variance this month (+65.9%), tied to an unplanned equipment repair. Should self-correct next month — worth confirming it isn't a recurring issue.
- 4
Prime cost at 71.5% is above the healthy 55-60% range. Net profit is still positive at 14.6%, but this is the number to watch: if food and labor variances repeat without a sales rebound, margin compresses quickly from here.
