April margins (1–28 April):

Overall gross margin is 66.4%, down from 69.1% in March. The main driver is a 12% increase in milk pricing from your dairy supplier — this affects every milk-based coffee.

Recommendations:

• Renegotiate milk pricing or trial an alternative supplier
• Plant-based milks (oat, soy) carry a $1 surcharge — effective margin 74%
• Saturday foot traffic is up 15% but staffing is flat — potential labour efficiency gain
