The Hidden Costs Killing Your Restaurant

Most restaurants are not failing because of food or service.

They are losing money in places they never look.

In this episode, we sit down with Mickey Pendergast, a cost-reduction expert with 30+ years in the industry, to break down where profit is quietly disappearing inside your business.

You will hear:

• Why great operators still struggle to make money
• The real reason margins stay stuck in single digits
• How “small” expenses like waste, linen, and processing fees drain profit
• Why more sales does not fix a broken cost structure
• How one or two points in savings can change your entire business

This is a straight conversation about what most operators ignore.

If you want to keep more of what you earn, this episode matters.
