turnover

When closing the caf é at the end of the month , Marta sat at the counter to go over the accounts and was pleased to see that the turnover had improved compared with the previous quarter . The rise in revenue was modest but consistent , driven mainly by a lunchtime promotion and a steady increase in regular clientele . Because margins were narrow , she decided to reinvest a portion of the surplus in better ingredients rather than expand seating . She calculated that small improvements in quality would sustain customer loyalty and , if maintained , reduce the need for aggressive discounting . Before locking up , she also checked the staffing schedule , mindful that any change in turnover might require more flexible rotas . Confident in the plan , Marta turned off the lights , knowing that careful management of costs and service would be essential for steady growth over the next fiscal year .
