But many managers fail to connect the cleanliness of their facility directly to their food sales. In this episode of Thrive, Mike Hernandez breaks down how to calculate the actual dollar value of a clean restroom. What You Will Learn: Invisible Shrink: How a dirty bathroom creates lost sales that never show up on an inventory report. The P&L Connection: Why diagnosing dropping food margins starts with facility standards, not pricing adjustments. The Food-to-Fuel Audit: A three-day challenge to prove to your team that hourly bathroom sweeps directly increase hot food sales and protect the store's bottom line.
