Corner Table Café Monthly Expenses

Corner Table Café’s pie chart shows how its May operating expenses divide among labour, ingredients, rent, utilities and supplies. A café owner can see immediately that labour and food and coffee dominate the total, while rent and utilities are smaller but relatively fixed commitments. The chart is useful for a monthly management conversation because all values refer to the same period and expense basis. It should not be used to conclude that the largest category is automatically wasteful; staffing and ingredient quality are part of the customer experience. Compare the mix with prior months, sales volume and gross margin before changing a cost. Make sure expenses are booked consistently, especially when invoices arrive after the month end. Use a bar chart if exact comparison among small categories is the main goal.
