概要
 Why does a haircut cost what it costs? Who actually makes money on a croissant?

Every episode ends on the owner's side of the counter, with one thing to check in your own business on Monday. Every claim checked using FactUnion's fact-checking process; every source is in the episode notes. Performed by synthetic voices. Supported by Lynqly.© 2026 FactUnion マネジメント・リーダーシップ リーダーシップ 経済学

  • The 1099 Surprise: Why Cards, Apps and Marketplaces Now Report Your Sales

    The 1099 Surprise: Why Cards, Apps and Marketplaces Now Report Your Sales
    2026/11/10
    Every January, card processors, payment apps and marketplaces send small sellers a Form 1099-K. For a lot of home bakers, stylists and nail techs, the number on it looks too big. Tess and Ray trace the form back to a July 2008 housing bill. They follow the reporting threshold as it dropped to six hundred dollars and then went back up to twenty thousand. Then they follow one pretend cake order through the pipe to see what the form counts: fees, refunds, a December sale that pays out in January, and a friend paying you back for dinner. The twist is that the form isn't broken. It reports gross money on purpose, because it was built as a matching key. Card payments never had a minimum, so the twenty-thousand-dollar headline was never the whole story. Turning that gross number into what you actually kept is the owner's job, and only her own records can do it. Monday's check: line up one month of processor deposits against your own sales log. This is a bookkeeping habit, not tax advice. Your preparer decides what goes on the return.

  • The Quote Behind the Egg

    The Quote Behind the Egg
    2026/11/04
    In February 2025 a Washington, DC bakery was paying more than double the year before for eggs and raised prices on about a third of its menu. Bird flu was real: more than 40 million laying hens died in 2024. But by one opinion writer's account, the price on many commercial egg contracts follows a published quote built from a thin cash market. In June 2026 the Justice Department and 17 states announced settlements with three big producers over claims that they coordinated bids into that market. The companies admitted no wrongdoing, and the settlements still need court approval as far as we can tell. Tess and Ray follow the egg from the cash market to the bakery invoice. They give the producers' side a full hearing, then look at the slow part nobody talks about: the price coming back down. Some places dropped their egg surcharges and some places' prices stuck. The episode ends with one question to ask your supplier on Monday. This is general information, not legal or financial advice.

  • The Crash You Missed: Why Your Chocolate Never Got Cheaper

    The Crash You Missed: Why Your Chocolate Never Got Cheaper
    2026/10/27
    It's holiday-order and wedding-quote season, and bakers keep hearing that cocoa crashed. Tess and Ray follow the price from the trading screen to the cake maker's inbox. There's a record close in December 2024, a short dip to about three thousand dollars a tonne in spring 2026, and a rebound to near fifty-six hundred by October. Underneath all of that sit the hedges, the ten-month lag and the cocoa-butter ratios that actually set what couverture costs. The twist: the crash was a short window that mostly closed before it could reach anyone buying by the case. A supplier pricing off a hedge near six thousand dollars is close to today's market, not miles above it. The Monday check: pull your last chocolate invoices, find out when your price resets and what it's tied to, and line each invoice up against where futures stood about ten months earlier. Some figures here come from secondary summaries and are flagged in the episode as such.
