Why do restaurants sell out and still lose money?

In “Restaurant Economics 101: What You Need to Know Before You Start,” the speaker breaks down restaurant economics through the practical cost structure of rent, staffing, utilities, food and beverage costs, pricing, break-even timing, and long-run P&L thinking. The transcript emphasizes that restaurants survive only when the concept, location, labor model, experience level, pricing, and cost discipline stay proportional.
