| Profit per stop | $310 | $384 |

The situation
Every stop has a different permit fee, crowd rhythm and weather risk. The menu is too broad for the storage, and the best-selling days still barely cover the prep labor.
How we would work it
- Route calendar scored by permit cost, guaranteed crowd and menu fit
- Tight menu built around cross-utilized ingredients and speed
- Par levels and prep sheets per stop, not per week
- Weekly profit-by-stop review with the owner and driver
Projected outcome
Modeled outcome: profit per stop up nearly a quarter, food waste down close to a fifth, and the route becomes a repeatable weekly plan instead of a daily scramble.
