Kunal ran the numbers. Modern pizza wins on absolute profit and payback period.

Then he flagged it: you're projecting nearly 200 pizzas a day for a restaurant that hasn't opened yet. That's the instinct that separates good from great.

This is a full McKinsey case in the restaurant industry, led by Mark Di Giorgio (ex-McKinsey Toronto). Kunal works through a New York pizza market entry question – modern vs. traditional.

After the case, Mark breaks it down section by section with tactical detail you can apply immediately:

• Why catching volume risk after solving the math gets interviewers to lean forward
• The 4-step case opening most candidates skip
• How to read an exhibit before touching the math
• The brainstorming close that turns a good answer great
