Sales -468,362 P1-P5. -13.1% top-line, +1.5 pts on prime cost.
Seven-unit corporate P&L roll-up. Numbers are the sum of all 2026 P1-P5 vs all 2025 P1-P5 across the 7 store/truck P&L sheets. UCSD is in the sales dashboard only; not in the P&L sheets.
The bridge in one paragraph
Sales fell ~13% across the seven P&L units P1-P5. Wages were cut $122K and rent $67K, which protected store-level cash, but those reductions did not scale with the top-line. Labor as a percent of sales actually rose 2.2 points because the dollar cut was smaller than the sales drop. The biggest line-item items inflating cost are insurance reclass, bank charges, and operating supplies; the biggest controllable margin compressor remains 3PD promotion spend, which held flat while customer cohorts shrank.

Prime cost - the only ratio that matters
Prime cost (COGS + Labor) is the single CFO read for an operator. 2026 prime cost ratio is up roughly 1.5 points on lower sales, with labor doing the deleveraging.

CFO read & priorities
What I would action this week.
Largest unexplained increase in the file. Almost certainly Toast / Parafin daily sweeps mis-coded as bank fees, which would mean the operating P&L is overstating opex and the cash-flow page is the real story. Reclass and republish.
Some of this is real (gross-up of GL / WC accruals), but the magnitude says a 2025 prepaid was sitting as a credit. Confirm reclass vs new premium, fix the prior-year comp.
Cut $122K of wages but sales fell $468K. That is the entire story of the margin decline. Build the labor matrix on a 4-wall basis with a hard 28% target at each store before P7.
$138K of 3PD promo spend in 2026 vs $145K in 2025 - basically unchanged - while Voosh cohort data shows shrinking repeat. Reallocate dollars from blanket DD/UE discounting into the win-back funnel at SM and SF.
Lock in. Make sure the next renewal cycle captures the same posture: lease tail leverage at SF, SJ and SM in 2027-2028 windows.
Uncategorized +$13K, Phone & Internet -$8K, Property Taxes → 0, Permits dropping in half. Most are reclass noise. Run a chart-of-accounts reconciliation 2025→2026 before the next board cut so this analysis becomes apples-to-apples.
