Outlet margins, food cost and multi-brand structures.

Market context
F&B operators live on cost of sales, labour percentage and site-level discipline, where a point of margin is the difference between a viable outlet and a closed one. Growth by outlet or brand outpaces a finance function built for a single location faster than most operators expect.
