What would 2% mean to your restaurant?

Move the sliders. Use your own numbers if you have them; ballpark is fine if you don’t. This is exactly why the boring parts of the business are where the growth is.

That’s $80,000 a year — and it moves as you do. Small changes compound quickly in restaurants.
