Restaurant ERP

Know the Real Cost and Margin of Every Dish on Your Menu

Recipe-level cost control, real-time inventory depletion, and supplier automation built specifically for restaurants, cloud kitchens, and QSR chains.

Problems We're Built to Solve

These aren't edge cases — they happen every day in operations like yours.

Uncosted Recipes

Menu items priced on gut feel. When ingredient costs change, GMs have no idea if a dish is profitable or a margin drain.

Ingredient Overbuying

No par-level automation means every outlet orders manually. Purchasing managers over-order to avoid stockouts, creating spoilage loops.

Spoilage & Waste Spikes

Walk-in audits done weekly (at best). Perishables expire unnoticed. Kitchen prep waste is never recorded against recipe standards.

Food Cost Blowouts

Food cost % creeps from 28% to 35% over a quarter. By the time the P&L shows it, months of margin have already been lost.

Shift Scheduling Gaps

Manual shift rosters mean overstaffing on slow days and understaffing on busy weekends. Labour cost % swings 5–8 points month to month.

Supplier Chaos

Multiple vendors, no rate contracts in the system, and invoice disputes resolved over WhatsApp. Credit limits and payment terms are tracked in spreadsheets.

"We had 3 outlets and no idea which one was profitable. Within 6 weeks of going live, we found that our bestselling dish had a 38% food cost — way above our target. We re-engineered the recipe and recovered ₹80,000 per month in margin we didn't know we were losing."
