💬 Controller’s Note
This monthly management report covers January 2026 for Fresh Fuel Kitchen Group LLC — an 8-location fast-casual restaurant chain operating across the Greater Houston metropolitan area. The group serves health-conscious, made-to-order bowls, wraps, and smoothies. All figures are on an accrual basis per US GAAP. Where we reference “same-store,” that excludes the Katy location which opened November 2025.

Executive Summary

Revenue (8 Loc.)
$1,822,400
▲ 3.1% vs budget
Food Cost %
28.4%
▼ 1.6pp vs prior
Labor Cost %

Net Income

10.8% net margin
The big picture: January was solid across the board. Consolidated revenue hit $1.82M — $55K above budget — driven by strong Dry January health-conscious dining trends and your Uptown and Galleria locations absolutely crushing it. Same-store sales growth (excluding Katy) was 4.8% year-over-year. All 8 locations were profitable this month.
What went right: Food cost dropped 1.6 percentage points to 28.4% — the new vendor deal with Sysco for proteins and the portion control training in December are paying off. Online ordering (DoorDash, Uber Eats) grew to 24% of total revenue. Your catering division pulled in $87K this month, up 18% from December.
Watch list: Labor costs at 31.2% are still running 1.2pp above the 30% target. The Katy location (opened Nov 2025) is burning through its ramp-up budget faster than projected — $22K net loss this month vs. $15K budgeted loss. We need to revisit Katy’s staffing model. Also, the Heights location had 3 health inspection deductions — minor, but pattern is concerning.

💬 Controller’s Note
Net income beat budget by $49K. The hero here is food cost improvement — $30K saved by the Sysco renegotiation and portion control program. The concern is labor overshoot at $21K above budget, mostly from Katy overstaffing during the ramp-up and two overtime issues at Midtown. We need to tighten schedules at those two locations.

💬 Controller’s Note
Grading is based on a composite score: revenue vs. target (25%), food cost vs. 30% benchmark (25%), labor vs. 30% benchmark (25%), and net margin vs. 12% target (25%). Uptown and Galleria are your stars — both running A grades with sub-28% food costs. Katy needs 3-4 more months to ramp; the C+ grade is expected for a location in month 3 of operations. The real concern is Woodlands — it’s been open 2 years and is still running B- grade with food cost above 30%.

💬 Controller’s Note
Online ordering is your fastest growth channel at 24% of revenue and climbing. Catering surged 18% — the new corporate wellness program packages are landing. Two corporate accounts (Shell and ConocoPhillips) placed recurring weekly orders. Merchandise fell 14% — the holiday branded merch sold through in December and we haven’t refreshed the Q1 collection yet. Priority action: launch the new Q1 merchandise line by Feb 1.

TOTAL FOOD & BEV COGS$517,82828.4%$531,000▼ 2.5%3.4%
💬 Controller’s Note
The Sysco protein deal saved $14K this month alone — that’s $168K annualized. Produce waste at 6.1% is still high (target: 4%). Woodlands and Heights are the worst offenders. I recommend implementing the BlueCart inventory management system at those 2 locations as a pilot — $150/month per location but should save 2x that in reduced waste. Smoothie ingredient costs crept up due to the Dry January organic acai surge — consider a slight menu price adjustment on premium smoothies ($0.50 increase would offset entirely).

💬 Controller’s Note
Three red flags in labor: 1) Midtown overtime is out of control — 86 OT hours ($4.3K) from 2 shift managers being out sick during the holiday surge. We need a floating manager for cross-coverage. 2) Katy is overstaffed for its volume — 22 FTEs generating only $5.8K/FTE (vs. target $9.5K). I recommend cutting 4 positions and scheduling tighter shifts until revenue justifies the headcount. 3) Woodlands turnover at 22% is destroying productivity. The store manager may need coaching or replacement.

💬 Controller’s Note
Cash position grew $76K to $718K — 2.1 months of operating expenses. That’s a healthy buffer for an 8-location restaurant group. The Katy build-out is now complete ($42K final payment). Owner distributions of $59.4K are sustainable at current earnings levels. Key consideration: if you green-light the Pearland expansion (see next page), you’ll need to reserve $280-320K in Q2-Q3.

💬 Controller’s Note
Pearland recommendation: Go. The demographics are strong (median HHI $98K, 25-44 demo is 34% of population, and there’s no direct fast-casual health competitor within 3 miles). The $295K build-out is cheaper than Katy because this is a second-generation restaurant space. At a forecasted $2.4M Year 1 revenue and $288K EBITDA, payback is under 15 months. Timing: If you sign the lease by Feb 15, build-out starts March, target opening July 4 weekend to catch summer traffic. I can prepare the detailed financial model for your bank.
