What it does

Your Friday, from the delivery door to the plate.

One job for each person. Your buyer orders. Your chef costs the menu. Your manager counts the walk-in. Fourteen small apps, all on the same numbers.

Before you open. While you are open. After the week.

That is when you use them.

  • A manager works at the bar before opening. The empty dining room is behind her. Before you open

    The menu, prices, forecast and supplier deals

  • A cook plates at the pass beside a tablet, bagged takeout orders waiting in front. While you are open

    Deliveries, prep, counts and the bar

  • An owner works late at a laptop in the back office, with invoices and a lamp on the desk. After the week

    Bills, labor, food safety and the delivery apps

Before you open

What you decide before you open

  • Menu costs and prices Plate cost, price and margin for each dish.
  • How busy you will be A forecast for prep and ordering.
  • The plan for your week The week you mean to have, beside the one your own weeks forecast.
  • Checking the prices you agreed Catch any invoice above your agreed price.
  • Catering and events Each event priced at plate cost before you sign it. Every order going out on a day, on one kitchen list.
  • New sites and leases Each lease's rent, charges and notice dates. A new store's numbers, started from what your stores already do.

Recipe costing does not ask you to start over. It reads what your kitchen already wrote.

A handwritten recipe sheet on the pass beside plates of peas and potatoes.
Your recipes already exist. On a sheet by the stove, in a notebook. We start there.
Two sandwich builds drawn layer by layer, with portions written in: 1.5 oz Manchego, 2.5 oz sliced turkey.
Portions are already written down. Each ounce is a cost. We price it.
A catering screen for a client lunch on Friday, August 7. The site reads Your restaurant, Main Street. The largest thing on it reads $84.00: sales that did not happen on Friday, because the order for that day was never raised. On the books 69.5%, in fact 59.0%, a difference of 10.5 points. Below: $84.00 never rung up. Raise the order. Then the event line by line: charged before tax $797.00, from the quote you sent; tax at 11.75%, $93.65; 36 hoagie halves, $70.15, where your sheet says $71.60. See the catering event

While you are open

What happens while you are open

  • Ordering, deliveries and bills in Order what you need, less what is already coming, at the price you agreed. Check each case against the invoice. Forward bills to your store's own address; a delivery with no bill, or a bill with no delivery, is listed with the fix.
  • Prep lists Prep lists, and the yield of each batch. A commissary bakes from one list of what every store takes.
  • Stock counts, weekly One manager counts once a week.
  • Bar and pour costs The pour cost of each drink, priced from your latest invoice, against your target. The price that hits it is ready as a menu change.
A bar screen for week 36, August 31 to September 6. The biggest figure reads 29.2%: what the pours cost against what the bar took. By the count it is 28.1%. Below, each of the 20 drinks poured. Daisy Cutter Pale Ale is $8.00, rang 25 times, $1.55 a pour, 19%. Dovetail Hefeweizen, $2.58, 29%. Son of Juice IPA, $2.95, 33%. Troublesome Gose, $2.95, 37%, up $0.21 on Ridgeline's bill of September 1. Each row has a Change the pour link. See the pour costs
Each drink's pour is priced from the latest invoice. When a supplier raises a price, the drinks it touches show it.
An inventory screen, since the September 6 count. The largest thing on it reads $1,271.20 missing, with 14 of 21 known items priced.
Between two counts, it lists stock that left with no sale, waste or transfer recorded, and its cost. Items it cannot price yet are marked.
A screen headed The grid: Saturday, what every location takes on one day. The day's total: garlic-sesame oil, 6 in a case, keeps 30 days, 1 case. Gochujang aioli, 1 case. Milk bread hoagie roll, 24 in a case, keeps 2 days, 4 cases. Milk bread loaf, sold singly, keeps 3 days, 16 each. A button reads Bake for Saturday, October 10. See the grid
A commissary bakes from one grid. What every store and account takes on one day, with its pack and how long it keeps.
A screen for the money side of a commissary, over four weeks. The largest line reads No break-even up to 3 times today's volume: today 405 units a week, losing $6,905 a week, before 6 costs not known, named one by one. Below, a slider sets a week's volume, and labor steps a whole shift at a time. At 405 units, sales are $5,107 and labor is $8,689, over 20 shifts. Ingredients are $3,322. Delivery and fixed costs are not known. A chart draws labor as steps against the sales line. See the break-even
Where a commissary breaks even as volume grows, with labor added a shift at a time. Costs it does not have yet are named, never counted as zero.
After the week

After the week: bills, fees, food safety and labor

  • Invoice coding for QuickBooks Bills coded and approved, in a file for QuickBooks. A price past your limit is flagged on the line. Safe bills are approved in one press; a held bill says why.
  • Delivery app fees The commission, fees and adjustments on each order.
  • Food safety logs Temperatures and checks, written down.
  • Kitchen labor on each plate Hours against the roster, and the labor cost on each plate.
More than one restaurant

Three restaurants, one list.

Ask Fernand what to do first. As the owner, you get one list for every restaurant you run, biggest dollars first. Each line names its restaurant and what it brings back: a credit a supplier owes, a bill over the agreed price.

Each manager sees the same list for their own restaurant.

Hospitality

The room, as well as the kitchen.

The lineup. Before the shift, a page for the team: who is in, what is booked, what to know.

Make it right. When a guest has a bad night, a page shows it and lets you do something about it.

The table card. At each seated table, what the house knows about that guest. Only what they have said we may remember stays.

A table card from the floor, headed What we know. Booked: Window if you can. Birthday Oct 11. They have not said we may remember them. What you add stays for tonight only. A button reads They said yes. Below, No dots yet, and buttons to add a note, such as a drink or a name, with a box asking What did you hear? See the table card
What the house knows, at the table. A guest who has not said yes is remembered for tonight only.
Your kitchen, on their own phones

Your cooks use it on their own phones.

The kitchen's phone screen. Trucks this morning, about 1 minute a truck. The supplier is here, 8 items. 6 older bills were never checked, see them. A button: check the truck. 1 2 3 4
  1. A truck is here. The cook sees which supplier, and how many items.
  2. The ? on the card. Says what it is, why it matters and what to do.
  3. See the older bills. Opens the bills still waiting to be checked.
  4. One button. Photograph the bill, check what came. About a minute; nothing typed.

Prep and the bin work the same way: one card each, a few taps. English or Spanish. No signal in the walk-in? It saves on the phone and sends when there is signal.

Hospitality

Hospitality is the work. These help your team do it.

An empty dining room in daylight: stained glass above tall windows, a stone wall, set tables.

Hospitality is a relationship. Service is a transaction.

Ownership is not an abstraction. It is the ability to greet someone by name. To remember their order. To send something to the table they didn't ask for but will love.

What the house knows reaches the person in front of the guest.

  • The table card When a server opens a table, the card shows the booking note, a birthday this week and what the team heard last time, allergies included, and when each ticket was fired and done. A disputed allergen shows as disputed. It is kept only if the guest says yes.
  • Make it right When something goes wrong, a manager names the cause and closes it only when something was done. Each week shows how many were fixed before the guest left.
  • The lineup Tonight's book, read to the team before doors: occasions, what guests cannot eat, what is off, and who is on. It flags anyone set to pour without an alcohol card good that day.

When your kitchen feeds others

Wholesale, from the commissary

For a commissary that bakes for your own stores and sells to other businesses.

  • Orders Every account and store, for one day. A one-off order after its cutoff is refused, with the reason.
  • The send Each drop with its lot, best-by and days left at the door. Your own stores get it at cost.
  • Bills and recall What each account owes, by age. One lot traced to every account and store it reached.

$250 a month for each kitchen that sells, on top of its location price. Talk to us about a commissary.

One set of numbers behind all of it

All your numbers in one place

Your items, your bills and everything that happened sit in one place. Every app reads it. It is yours.

A commissary is not a restaurant

A location is a restaurant. It can also be a commissary or a catering kitchen. A commissary sells no meals, so it shows no restaurant figures. A kitchen with its own address is priced as one more location.
