P&L means profit & loss. You have to understand the costs of the business and how it affects the amount of profit gained. For example, at my restaurant, I have to control the costs of labor, food, utilities, etc. So, basically if you understand how to reduce waste and unneeded expenses, you gain a higher profit. Hope this helps.

P&L would normally stand for profit and loss, and refers to the accounting statement of financial performance. So what it is possibly saying is that the role would have responsibilities that relate to the income generated and expenses incurred within the business.

P&L refers to profit and loss accounts, used to measure the financial performance of a business. It's a way of keeping track of the money coming in and the money going out of the business. In a job description it usually means that some experience of working with profit and loss accounts (being responsible for your store/unit/department budget, controllable costs, stock loss, payroll, etc) is required for the job.
fill out proffit and loss spread sheets...
Most of these answers are correct P&L does mean Profit and Loss in a financial application. However in a catering application it means Plums and Lemon.

It is a measure of seasoning. As we know plums can be sour and a test of sourness was devised using Lemons. EG "that is 2 lemon tart" is is as sour as 2 lemons. To sweeten 2 lemons sufficiently 4 oz of sugar is required.

This description is applied to sugar seasoning as well as salt and pepper.

If you asked do you know about P&L you must know relative amounts of sesoning for cetain dishes and quantities.
