Top 5 pies by revenue (10–16 March):

1. Steak & Cheese — 142 sold ($1,278)
2. Butter Chicken — 98 sold ($931)
3. Mince & Gravy — 87 sold ($696)
4. Bacon & Egg — 76 sold ($608)
5. Vegan Kumara — 54 sold ($513)

Steak & Cheese continues to dominate at 28% of total pie revenue. Vegan Kumara is up 18% week-on-week — worth considering a second batch on Saturdays.

March margins (1–20 March):

Overall gross margin is 64.2%, down from 67.1% in February. The main driver is a 12% increase in butter pricing from NZ Dairy Co — this affects all pastry-based products.

Recommendations:

• Renegotiate butter pricing or trial Westgold as a backup supplier
• The vegan range (no dairy) has improved to 71% margin — consider promoting these
• Saturday foot traffic is up 15% but staffing is flat — potential labour efficiency gain
