Action Recommendations
🚨
Investigate the 2025 Revenue Gap
Apr -11.3%, May -7.6% YoY. This is a structural signal, not noise. Need root cause: fewer guests, lower check avg, channel mix shift, or lost regulars?

Protect BOH Labor Ratio
At $72K/mo, BOH labor is 20.8% — above 18% target. Every $1K in recovered revenue drops ratio ~0.2pp. Focus on revenue recovery before any cost action.
→ Monitor weekly · Target <18% by Q3
📦
Leverage May WoW Recovery
+12.6% this week is the bright spot. Identify what drove it (weather, promo, weekend volume?) and replicate. One good week doesn't fix the gap — needs to be systematic.
