The Profit Leak P&L lines
Repairs & Maintenance
Reactive spend weighed against the maintenance that would have prevented it.
Where it shows up
Maintenance spend tends to arrive as an emergency — a fridge that fails on a Friday, an extraction fan that finally gives out mid-service — rather than as a planned cost, which makes it feel unpredictable even when the same equipment fails in roughly the same way every year.
Why Profit Leak checks it
Profit Leak weighs reactive repair spend against the planned maintenance that would have prevented it, because an emergency call-out on a Friday night almost always costs more than the service that was due six months earlier and never booked.
