Restaurant economics are very opaque in NYC since these businesses never build in public and successful ones rarely share anything about their numbers.

We want to give New Yorkers a better idea of how this industry works. If you enjoy this post, we will continue to give monthly numbers including revenues, COGS, and profit — along with answering questions.

We prefer to not give out the name, but this is a sushi restaurant in Manhattan. It is quite busy during most evenings, and we have strong online reviews.
