Cash vs Capacity
Same business, same sales, same bill — supplied two ways. In month one the restaurant pays its accountant in cash, the way it always has. In month two it is a Silvatree member and settles the same invoice from midweek tables that used to sit empty.
You move the counters yourself, one stage direction at a time, so nothing is hidden in a summary. At the end there are two bank balances side by side and one question worth answering: which month would you rather have?
This is the same story a Capacity Consultant would walk you through on a suitability call. Figures are illustrative.
What this story shows
- The invoice does not get smaller. What changes is what you settle it with.
- The capacity being spent was already going to waste — the empty midweek table earns nothing at all.
- There is still a real cost to serving the extra diner, and the game shows it rather than hiding it.
- An illustrative demonstration using round numbers, not a projection.
