You know your food. Now know your numbers.

The business intelligence layer between your POS and your accountant. Toast tells you what you sold. We tell you whether you made money.

monthly in combined software and processing fees

THE PROBLEM

Margin erosion from disconnected systems.

Nearly 1 in 4 restaurant operators rank inflation as their top challenge. A restaurant doing $50K/month in card sales often pays $1,500–$2,500+ when you combine software fees and payment processing. The real killer: POS, inventory, scheduling, and accounting rarely sync properly.

THE SOLUTION

Profit-Aware Operations Dashboard

A system where every sale feeds into real-time food cost tracking, labor scheduling optimizes against revenue targets, and the owner sees a daily P&L instead of a monthly surprise. Not a POS replacement. The intelligence layer that sits on top.

•Restaurant website with menu display, hours, location, and reservations

•Daily sales summary dashboard

•Food cost tracker (actual vs. theoretical cost by category)

•Labor cost calculator (scheduled hours × rates vs. projected revenue)

•Weekly P&L snapshot (revenue, food cost %, labor cost %, prime cost)

•Menu item profitability ranking

•Staff directory with roles, rates, and availability

•Mobile-responsive for owner access anywhere

THE COMPARISON

How we compare

We're not replacing Toast or Square. We're building the business intelligence layer that none of them provide. The owner dashboard that turns raw sales data into actionable profit insights.

You know your food. Now know your numbers.

Toast tells you what you sold yesterday. Square tells you how much you processed. Neither one tells you whether you actually made money. We build the layer between your POS and your accountant, the one that turns raw sales into daily profit insights. Food cost percentage by category. Labor cost against revenue targets. Which menu items are carrying the restaurant and which ones are dead weight.
