But for a restaurant manager, the P&L and the Cash Flow would be more significant I'd think. Manufacturing companies are probably more concerned with materials, raw, work-in-progress, and finished goods, wheras in a restaurant the manager might be more concerned with wether or not he has enough free cash to order more ingredients.

For example: - revenue per customer for a period (to compare to other periods) - revenue per week day (are weekends better than business days?) - major expenses compared to revenue (payroll, utilities, ingredients, royalties, etc.) - major expenses per square foot of restaurant premises - gross profit (revenue - direct expenses) per customer or meal?
