Location status

Two changes shaping this year's numbers

Bay St. Louis has closed

Its last day of business was September 7, 2026, as planned. Jan–Aug revenue was down 34.8% vs. last year, the steepest decline of any location. Its final week is now in the books — the FY2026 figures throughout this dashboard reflect actual revenue through close, not an estimate; no further Sep–Dec revenue is possible.

Jan–Aug 2026$427,837
vs. Jan–Aug 2025$656,094
Final week (Sep 1–7)$16,639

Huntsville opened March 22, 2026

Newest location — no 2025 comparator exists, so it's excluded from same-store and company YoY figures below. Revenue has fallen every month since its April peak: worth a look as part of the stabilization work already underway.

Mar–Aug 2026 revenue$871,520
Peak month (Apr)$234,657
Aug 2026$114,091

2026 full-year projection

Trend-based, vs. FY2025 actual
How this is projected: Tchoupitoulas, Algiers, and Baton Rouge apply each location's Jan–Aug 2026 vs. 2025 growth rate to its FY2025 actual. Bay St. Louis is no longer an estimate — it closed for good on September 7, so its figure is now its actual Jan–Aug 2026 plus its real final week (Sep 1–7: $16,639), with $0 after that. Huntsville carries its actual Mar–Aug 2026 plus its trailing 3-month (Jun–Aug) average run rate applied to Sep–Dec — a cautious call given the location's revenue has declined for four straight months; if that slide continues, the full-year number below will land lower than shown. No formal 2026 budget was available to project against, so FY2025 actual is used as the comparison baseline throughout.

What Sep–Dec has to look like

Monthly sales required by location — two scenarios

Scenario 1 — to land the FY2026 projection above

Jan–Aug is actual. Sep–Dec is back-solved from the trend projection, shaped to each location's own 2025 seasonal pattern.

Scenario 2 — to hit +10% year-over-year, full year

Same method, targeting FY2025 actual × 1.10 instead of the trend projection.
How the monthly split works: for Tchoupitoulas, Algiers, and Baton Rouge, the dollars still needed to hit each scenario's full-year number are divided across Sep–Dec in the same proportions each month held in 2025 — so a big December stays a big December, not an even quarter-split. Bay St. Louis has only Sep 1–7 left before its permanent close, so both scenarios solve for that single week. Huntsville has no 2025 Sep–Dec to shape against since it wasn't open yet, so its Scenario 1 split is flat across the four months instead, and Scenario 2 (a "+10%" figure) isn't computable for it — there's no FY2025 baseline to grow from.

Same-store sales snapshot

Locations open in both years — excludes Huntsville

Same-store revenue, Jan–Aug

Tchoupitoulas, Algiers, Baton Rouge, Bay St. Louis

Same-store growth

+6.0%

$6,834,009 → $7,244,521 year over year. This is the fairer read on underlying performance: it strips out Huntsville, which had no revenue in this window last year because it didn't exist yet. The 18.8% company-wide growth figure above blends in Huntsville's new-store ramp; same-store growth is the number to track for like-for-like health across the four established locations.

Month-by-month: actual vs. required pace

Jan–Aug actual (Toast), Sep–Dec required under each scenario
Actual figures are pulled live from Toast whenever this dashboard is refreshed — ask to refresh it to bring in the latest closed month. Last pulled: Sep 9, 2026

All locations, Jan–Dec 2026

Jan–Aug: actual Net Sales from Toast, with growth vs. the same month last year. Sep–Dec: dollars required to land each scenario, from the targets above.
Actual (Toast) Required — hit FY2026 projection Required — hit +10% YoY
Source note: Actual monthly figures in this tab come from Toast's Location reports (metric: Net Sales), pulled directly from each location's POS. This is a different figure than the QuickBooks Total Income used in the Overview tab — the two run within about 1% of each other across Jan–Aug 2026, a normal gap given accrual adjustments and how each system categorizes sales, tips, and refunds. Required figures for Sep–Dec are the same seasonal-weighted targets shown in the section above. Bay St. Louis closed for good on Sep 7 — its Sep figure is now the real, final result for that last week (Sep 1–7), not a target; Oct–Dec show as closed. The Sep MTD figures (Sep 1–8) shown for the other four locations are informational only and will roll into a normal monthly Actual once September closes. Huntsville's +10% column is not computable — it has no FY2025 baseline to grow from.
