One app for food & beverage
Each page answers one question a manager asks every week, and says what the answer is worth.
Menu engineering
Every dish is placed by how often guests order it and what it earns after ingredients: Stars, Plowhorses, Puzzles and Dogs. Each comes with plain advice: keep, reprice, move on the menu, rework or drop.
Food cost
Opening stock plus purchases minus closing stock, for kitchen and bar separately, set against the recipes. The difference is shown in money, with where to look first.
Live
Connect the POS and every closed check arrives as it happens. Busy and quiet hours, today against the usual, and whether the steps you took are paying off.
Staff & RevPASH
Hourly sales and guests turn into the staff each role needs. Short hours are red, hours with too many people are blue, and shift lists come out ready to use.
Forecast & ordering
Next week’s forecast runs through the recipes into par levels. On hand, on order and what to order now, grouped by supplier or store-room section. Short deliveries are logged as they arrive.
Every finding in one list, ranked by what it is worth a month.
Who gave what away, for which reason, and where it looks unusual.
Upload a photo of the menu and see where each dish sits and should sit.
Several outlets or hotels side by side, with totals for the group.
Every table goes out as an Excel file for the finance team.
The ⓘ on each box says where the number comes from, in plain words.
