Data coverage & calculation notes

Illustrative sample records. Missing dates remain gaps. Cost percentages use sales from the same records where that cost is known. Operating margin requires sales, labor, food consumed and other operating expenses on every recorded day. It excludes unrecorded costs and is not net profit. Purchases are not food consumed. Coverage measures records received, not business health.
