Sanjay Jha: Restaurant Manager Trainer

30K subscribers

You're either running the numbers or the numbers are running you — Sanjay Jha knows which side of that line every surviving operator lives on. His breakdowns of food cost variance, P&L interview prep, and daily inventory management aren't theoretical MBA nonsense; they're the actual mechanics that separate restaurants that make it from restaurants that close. The guy walks through menu pricing formulas like a sous calling out ticket times — methodical, precise, and with the understanding that getting it wrong means someone doesn't eat. Anyone who's ever had to explain a 32% food cost to ownership knows exactly why this content exists.

Satyam's Kitchen

You know that cook who somehow nails every cuisine — the one pulling perfect Sri Lankan brinjal moju one day, Filipino Bicol Express the next, then casually dropping technique on Chinese tomato egg that makes you reconsider everything you thought you knew about simple food? Satyam gets what matters: authentic flavor profiles that actually work on the line, not Instagram theater. When they break down wambatu moju or show you how to properly balance the coconut and chili in Bicol Express, you're getting real technique from someone who understands that fusion isn't about throwing random ingredients together — it's about respecting the foundation first. This is how you build a menu that travels.

Their client reviews cut through the usual food truck fantasy and show operators who figured out the math. This is mobility that actually moves product, not Instagram props.

David Scott Peters talks about the numbers that keep you awake at 2 AM — food cost formulas, labor percentages, the weekly inventory grind that separates profitable operators from the ones bleeding money in silence. His videos strip the mystique from restaurant math: how to actually calculate food cost (not the fantasy version), what to look for when hiring kitchen managers who won't torch your margins, menu pricing that works when you're not backed by investor cash. You've seen operators who can break down a duck but can't break down their P&L. Peters fills that gap.
