Built from the back office out

I've spent more than twenty years in grocery and restaurant operations and finance: running departments, building forecasts, and reading the P&Ls that keep owners up at night.

The pattern never changed. Operators paid for a POS, a website, an ordering app, a costing tool, a reservation book, a scheduling app and an accounting system, then exported spreadsheets to make them agree. By the time the numbers lined up, the month was over.

Culinary Analytics puts those jobs in one system with one set of numbers, and adds the part I care about most: forecasting that tells you what to schedule and what to order before the week starts.

I also work with operators directly as a fractional CFO. If you want help with the numbers themselves, that's here, and the free P&L check is a good place to start.
