Financial markets investors: What do we want? More, more profits! When do we want it? Every quarter! Senior management agrees (they don’t have a choice), accountants follow (they don’t have a choice.) Forgotten basic rule of pricing: « What the market can bear. » Consumers can’t bear such increases: their income does not follow. Forgotten fundamental law: the law of Gravity

Remember when the items on the value menu were $1 or less? Now the "value menu" is $5. That's because a fiver is what a single used to be. #dollardevaluation #USDollar #valuemeal #risingprices #costofliving #economy #inflation #foodinflation https://lnkd.in/gKu7XtJj

What a treat to sit down IN PERSON yesterday with old friends Carl Quintanilla and Sara Eisen on CNBC’s Money Movers to discuss consumer confidence and the current appetite (pun intended) for spending at restaurants. Yes, the macro environment shows consumers tightening spending amid rising costs, but they remain interested in healthy, fast casual dining options, and I believe CAVA has what it takes to win, regardless.   I also chatted with Carl and Sara about a key principle: Tech is important, but taste and humanity define success in the restaurant business. Speed of service matters, but what truly matters is connecting with consumers.   At Act III Holdings, LLC, our success lies in filling market gaps and connecting with consumers.   Check out the segment here: https://lnkd.in/ekFmtr_B   #KnowWhatMatters #Transformation #FastCasual

Chicken and Waffles. It's the first thing that came to mind. Second was Fancy Like by Walker Hayes. I wonder how he is going to blend this one into the remix, and how you are going to now get that song out of your head today. The chains are married, so we'll see how this pans out when the in-laws get together, but I think sticking to what you're good at is ultimately the best route. I see this with businesses who have expanded skus. Trying to be everything to everyone can dilute your brand, create internal, operational angst and strain your working capital. I do see the appeal if revenues are sufferring and you're trying to bolster margins and profit, but you need to be careful. A good question to always ask is, "what are we good at?" Whatever comes first is your answer. Better to spend time and energy getting bigger, faster and stronger with what you're good at than weakening the brand. And this can fluid. Take me for example. I'm really good at A/R. I've been financing A/R for close to three decades, so that's my focus right now. As BankFinancial Commercial Finance gets B, F and S with A/R, and our portfolio continues to expand to a given point, we'll pivot, and strengthen our positions in other aspects as a complement to A/R. But for now, we'll focus on what we're good at. It's the besy way to deliver the highest level solutions to our clients, and afterall, isn't that what we're trying to do, and ultimately create success for everyone involved.

A fair market valuation uses qualitative methods, looking at a few years of your operations to determine what your restaurant’s worth in the market and its potential earnings for a prospective buyer.
