Revenue depends on membership, subscription, table packages or other logic outside of covers and average controls.
Separate food areas or concepts require separate customer bases rather than one common covers tank.
Operational programmes require substantially different capacity, employment or cost factors from the existing workbook structure.
The report shall require additional actors, segments or management views beyond the existing model outcomes.
The indicator is the starting point for planning, not a guarantee of performance.
