Join our community Panjabi Pod Business Academy👉 https://academy.panjabipod.comSukhjinder Singh arrived in Perth in 2008 and started in kitchens. By 18 he was managing shifts at McDonald's. Today he owns three Indian restaurants, employs more than 50 people, and turns over $4.5M from a single venue.In this episode he breaks down the real numbers behind running restaurants in Australia — the ones most owners never say out loud. Restaurant profit margins sit at just 10–15%, even at multiple locations. A single venue needs roughly $2.5M a year in sales just to be worth operating. And being a great chef is not the same skill as running a restaurant — as he puts it, they're "two totally opposite things."We cover:• Why cash flow is the heart of the business — and the only two costs you can actually control (labour and food wastage)• Buy vs. build: acquiring a thriving business at a premium vs. taking on an underperformer and fixing it• Why franchises trap owners — you never really own it, plus forced upgrades, commissions and rigid contracts• Why catering, takeaway and dine-in cross-market each other, and what you lose by skipping a channel• Hiring for attitude over skill• The one golden rule of hospitality: value for money• Why bad reputation spreads fast and good reputation takes time• How he turned a failed restaurant into a money machine✅ Subscribe to Our Other Social Media:INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/panjabipodFACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/panjabipodTIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@panjabipodAbout Panjabi Pod:Panjabi Pod, founded in 2023 by Manpreet Dhillon and Harry Deol, brings together a dynamic duo with strong entrepreneurial experience and exceptional communication skills.
