"Drop a grand" meaning?

I'd appreciate it if you explained the meaning of "dropping a few grand a day" in the following context:

" If your team works in 8 hour shifts, you need a team of 20 staff just to keep up, which means even on modest salaries you’re dropping a few grand a day"

A grand here is slang for $1,000. The whole phrase indicates that it costs thousands of dollars each day to pay your staff.
