How Much Money Does My Hotel Make? (profit & loss revealed)

Watching someone taste-test McDonald's pasta and regional menu items might seem like YouTube fluff, but there's serious margin intelligence here if you're paying attention. Every localized item represents a calculated bet on food cost versus market acceptance — and McDonald's doesn't make those bets lightly. The difference between their Indian vegetarian options and their Japanese rice burgers isn't cultural curiosity; it's supply chain economics and local procurement costs laid bare.

The psychology that makes your customers order the large fries instead of small isn't magic — it's calculated manipulation that you should understand inside and out. This breakdown of fast food upselling tactics is required viewing for anyone who needs to move margins without being a complete asshole about it. Learn from the masters, then deploy with whatever conscience you've got left.

Look, I've spent enough time chasing Instagram-famous spots to know most "secret" restaurants are just expensive theater with mediocre food. But DiGiovanni actually breaks down what these hidden gems are charging and why — and that's the real secret every operator needs to understand about building mystique that actually pays the bills.

I know you're thinking this is about beds and bathrooms, but watch how these hotel bastards squeeze every square foot for profit — the same ruthless space optimization that separates dying restaurants from the ones printing money. Every inch costs, every amenity decision hits your bottom line, and these hospitality veterans have turned room design into a masterclass in operational efficiency that'll make you rethink your entire floor plan.

If you think you understand the hotel business, you don't—and that ignorance will kill your restaurant venture faster than a health inspector with a grudge. This breakdown of how the big chains actually make their money without owning shit will rewire your brain about real estate, franchising, and why most operators get played by landlords who learned these exact same tricks.

Look, if you think owning a McDonald's is your ticket to easy money, you're about to get a reality check that'll hurt worse than a fryer burn. The numbers behind those golden arches tell a story every operator needs to understand — even if you're slinging real food instead of whatever the hell they call those patties.

Most first-year restaurants die because owners fall in love with the fantasy instead of the math. Khanna breaks down the brutal arithmetic that separates dreamers from survivors — and if you're not tracking every percentage point he mentions, you're probably next.

I've watched this industry cannibalize itself with these insane price hikes, and this video breaks down exactly how the fast food giants painted themselves into a corner they can't escape. When your "value proposition" costs more than a sit-down meal, you've fundamentally broken the contract with your customer base. Essential viewing if you want to understand why traffic is falling off a cliff across the board.

Look, I don't care if this kid's channel looks like he shot it on a flip phone in his mom's basement — if you're not calculating your selling price with markup formulas, you're bleeding money every service and probably don't even know it. This is the kind of basic math that separates restaurants that survive from the 80% that close in two years. Sam breaks it down without the MBA horseshit, just straight numbers that'll keep your doors open.

I've watched too many operators bleed money because they're guessing at food costs instead of knowing the numbers that'll keep them alive. This breakdown cuts through the bullshit and gives you the actual formula you need to stop hemorrhaging cash on every plate that walks out your door.

I've watched too many operators throw money at ghost kitchens and delivery apps thinking that's "scaling" — Hormozi cuts through the noise and gives you the four actual paths that won't bankrupt you in six months. This isn't restaurant-specific, but every principle applies to whether you're running one kitchen or ten, and he's brutal about the math that separates survivors from casualties.

Look, I've watched too many good operators bleed money because they thought transparency meant showing their work like some high school math test. This contractor gets what we all learn the hard way: your bid is your price, not your fucking diary — the moment you start itemizing every cost, you're teaching customers how to cut your throat.
