Margins
Stars, horses, puzzles, dogs, named, not felt.
Menu engineering on what actually sold and what it actually cost. A plate is a star or a dog because the tickets and the cards said so, not because the special photographed well.

On a busy night
How Owner actually uses it.
01
Tickets and cards meet
What sold, what it cost. The matrix fills without a tasting-menu of spreadsheets.
02
You name the plate
Star, horse, puzzle, dog. The argument becomes a box, not a mood in the pass.
03
You change the carta
Price, push, 86, rewrite the card. Next week the box should have moved.
01
Mix × margin
How often it left the pass, and what it left you. The four boxes are a map: keep, push, fix the cost, or kill. You stop arguing taste with a P&L.
02
The card is the cost
Food cost is the recipe at last purchase, not a spreadsheet from onboarding. A supplier raise moves a horse toward a puzzle in the same week.
03
The carta can act
You hide a dog. You raise a puzzle. You tell the floor which star to sell. The menu and the POS are the same list you just judged.

“The rib-eye was a vanity horse. The pasta we were bored of was the star. Engineering is a cold friend and I needed one.”
