Are restaurants really a “mugs game”?

Or are most hospitality businesses just missing the systems required to make money?

In this episode of the Profit Generator Podcast, Nathan sits down with hospitality consultant Steven Mulligan from Number Krunchers to unpack why so many cafés, pubs and restaurants struggle with profitability, even when they’re busy.

If you’re in hospitality (or thinking about opening a venue), this conversation could save you years of stress.

We cover:

• Why oversized menus destroy margins
• How overstocking quietly kills cash flow
• The truth about supplier negotiations
• Why front-of-house staff are salespeople (not just plate carriers)
• How to increase spend per head
• The importance of menu engineering
• Why business ownership is different from being a great chef
• How systems turn hospitality from chaos into profit

Hospitality moves fast.
 Money comes in quickly and disappears just as fast.

The difference between struggling venues and profitable ones?

Clarity. Structure. Systems.

If you’re working insane hours and still wondering where the profit is going, this episode is for you.
