Plain-language observations drawn from the same figures.
What the numbers are saying
- Dinner average spend (K 417) is 40% higher than lunch — the set menu is doing the work.
- Beer margin (49%) is well below the food average; a price review would add roughly K 620 a day.
- Grill is the bottleneck: 7 tickets over 20 minutes, all during the 19:15–19:45 peak.
- Wastage is K 578 today, mostly one chiller fault — worth a maintenance job before it repeats.
- Grilled tilapia sold out by 19:05; three tables asked for it after that, an estimated K 630 of lost sales.
