That's not cashflow information. And that includes costs of the new stores before they generated a single cent of revenue, no?

Further...

"As our restaurant matures and we continue to optimize our menu and menu cost structure, we expect that our restaurant cost of sales will drop to the 23%-27% (of restaurant revenue) range."

Keep in mind, the 1st store is a model store...as in trial n error, to work out all the kinks and fine tune it.

Their probably not to concerned w/location as its just a trial/training/testing location.

Once u have everything running smoothly, then u branch out, and gooble-up all those WestField locations.

The sales were progressing back in 2006, when they opened.

I might have it incorrect but

Oct. $ 80,000
Nov. 130,000

Fact: first store is very profitable. 6% downtick over a year is not a concern, as it is natural that something like this would max out. The factor that it is a novelty or "new" will only last so long. Only thing is that O/H could grow, especially if they are hiding restaurant direct cost there. Multiply those numbers by 3, take into account floor space, and you have yourself a break-even operation. Optimistically, a profitable one. FIrst restaurant took 3 months to grow it's business. in a mall....

If these numbers were not pointing to break-even, I would have predicted the slide to continue and not invested. The fact that it did continue means.. either the market is really negative and I was unlucky.. or I am an idiot. Either way, do not trust me to change your fuel filter in your car. I could hurt you and/or myself.
