A closer look at the industry we know best
In hospitality, the books never sleep.
A restaurant, bar, or hotel does not run on a monthly cycle. It runs on tonight's cover count, this weekend's weather, and a produce invoice that is 12% higher than it was last Tuesday. Know the three numbers below cold and you are managing the business. Miss them, and the business is managing you.
Food Cost %
28 to 35% is healthy
COGS on food divided by food sales. Creeps up with waste and supplier prices, quietly.
Pour Cost %
18 to 24% is healthy
Beverage cost divided by beverage sales. Overpours and shrinkage show up here first.
Labor Cost %
28 to 32% is healthy
Total labor divided by total sales. What every schedule protects, or quietly wrecks.
Read correctly, this chart tells a story:
- Labor climbed toward 38% in May for high season, then was walked back below 25% by June: a monitored correction, not a lucky accident.
- Pour cost held in a disciplined high teens band for nine months before a jump to 29% in July flagged a pricing issue worth catching that same week.
- Food cost barely left a 16 to 20% band all year, the fingerprint of a tightly run kitchen.
That is a monthly conversation, not a monthly PDF.
Along with your P&L, Statement of Cash Flows, and Balance Sheet, this is an example of the visual reporting we build so owners can see the health of their key variable costs at a glance.

Commission timing, closing costs, and deal by deal profitability across agents and properties.
