- High Replacement Costs: Frequent buys from low-quality suppliers drain budgets—average $500/month for mid-size kitchens.
- Time Waste: Manual cleaning steals 2-3 hours weekly from staff, cutting ROI on equipment.
- Shipping & Quality Woes: Inferior imports arrive damaged, inflating total costs by 25%.
