Economic context
Median household income $86,400. Top industries: oil/gas, fishing, tourism, federal government. Permanent Fund Dividend adds unique income layer.
Tax load
Income tax: No state income tax. Sales tax: No state sales tax (localities can add).
Landlord/tenant summary

A restaurant lives and dies on food cost, labor cost, and check average. This workbook holds a menu cost sheet that prices every plate to the ingredient, a daily sales tracker, inventory and COGS that ties back to the menu, and labor scheduling that respects payroll caps. The vendor purchase log makes the reorder call obvious.
