The IRS audits pizza places by raw material bought and then charges them an approximation - with fines and penalties, of course. I ran into my pizza guy at Sam's Club - he with buying a ton flour with a huge roll of cash. I guess that's how he gets around that - by keeping the reported income at a level reasonably derived from the cost of goods sold - while buying the bulk of his flour in cash at Sam's, so he can pocket the rest.
