Most food businesses don't fail on the food.

They fail because the numbers never added up on paper — the rent was too high, the break-even was never calculated, the cash ran out in month four. You're about to commit your savings, and maybe a loan. Do it with a plan, not a prayer.

Future café owner checking the numbers on a laptop in an empty shop space — The best time to check the numbers: before you sign the lease.

You don't know how much it really costs to open — and how big the funding gap is.

You can't tell a landlord, bank or investor what your numbers look like.

You have no idea how many covers/orders a day you must hit just to break even.

You're guessing your first-year sales and profit instead of forecasting them.
