Restaurant Business with Fexingo: Food Service, Hospitality, and Independent Operators

Lucas and Luna dissect the daily realities of running a restaurant, from independent pizzerias to multi-unit hospitality groups. Each episode picks one operator's margin sheet or a single P&L line item — labor cost, food waste, third-party delivery fees — and builds a conversation around what the numbers actually mean. Lucas, a former line cook turned business journalist, brings the kitchen-floor tension; Luna, a hospitality consultant, reads the same data as a balance-sheet puzzle. They talk about lease negotiations, tip-pooling mechanics, menu engineering, and why a 4% drop in same-store sales can kill a months-long expansion plan. The show is for owners, chefs, and anyone who thinks a restaurant is just about the food. No hot takes, no listicles — just two people who've seen the back office and the walk-in cooler, asking: what does it take to survive in an industry where 60% of margins vanish before the first plate leaves the pass?#RestaurantBusiness #FoodService #HospitalityIndust
