    It’s not losing money, it’s losing a percentage of profit.

    Say 10 hot dogs cost 1 dollarydoo.

    1 hot dog sells for 1 dollarydoo that’s a 10% food cost.

    Enter bullshit inflation, hot dogs now cost 2 dollarydoos, so each one sold at 1 dollarydoo is now at 20% food cost.

    that 10% comes out of profit margin unless your labor & fixed costs are 0.
