I have the capital. I do not know if the numbers work.
We model it before you sign anything. If it does not work, we tell you that.
We are busy every night and there is nothing in the bank.
Almost always prime cost above 65 per cent. We find where it is going, line by line.
My menu has 80 items and my kitchen was built for 30.
Menu too large for the kitchen is the quietest margin killer in Dubai. We fix the mix.
Food cost keeps creeping up and nobody can tell me why.
No recipe costing, no stock control, or theft. It is one of those three.
Everyone gives me advice. Nobody has run a restaurant.
Our founder co-owns 13. We have signed the leases we regretted, so you do not have to.
I cannot take a week off without it falling apart.
That is a missing management layer, not a staffing problem. We build one, or we run it for you.
I want to open a second site but I am not sure I should.
If site one only works because you are in it, site two will break both. We test that first.
Delivery is 40 per cent of sales and we make nothing on it.
Commission modelled at the headline rate. The real number, after promos and packaging, is higher.
The rent went up and now the numbers do not work.
The rent-to-revenue ratio was wrong at signing. That decision is made before you open.
