What problem does it solve?
Helps restaurant owners and managers diagnose and fix low profitability by analyzing food cost, labor cost, inventory, menu performance, P&L, staffing, and delivery economics so they can prioritize actions that improve margin and cash flow.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Food Cost Analysis: Calculates dish and total food cost percentages, identifies high-FC items and recommends pricing or cost reduction.
- Labor Cost Optimization: Computes labor % and sales-per-labor-hour, suggests staffing schedules and productivity improvements.
- Menu Engineering: Classifies items into Star/Plowhorse/Puzzle/Dog and proposes targeted actions (reprice, promote, remove).
- Inventory & Operations: Provides par-level calculation, FIFO guidance, waste tracking, and daily/weekly/monthly checklists.
- P&L & ROI: Produces benchmarked P&L reviews, prime cost analysis, and new-branch ROI/payback estimates.
- Delivery Strategy: Compares platform commissions and suggests pricing and channel strategies to protect margin.
- Use Cases: New restaurant with poor profit, high food cost scenarios, planning a second branch, optimizing delivery margins, or simplifying menu for operational consistency.
