Description

Utilize CostBrain to oversee inventory and gain valuable customer insights. Enhance communication with patrons while optimizing your business operations. With CostBrain's innovative software, restaurants can monitor their food expenses in real-time. We facilitate the tracking of invoices by providing them in a digital format. Each invoice is directly connected to your recipes and the ingredients used. The outcome? You will know the precise cost of every menu item as it changes in real-time. Build your menu without incurring transaction fees or monthly charges. Our platform is complimentary for restaurants. Additionally, effortlessly monitor your inventory, as it automatically updates with each sale, ensuring you always have accurate stock levels. This streamlined process allows for better decision-making and increased efficiency in your restaurant management.

Description

ShelfCount provides a comprehensive inventory and COGS solution for independent restaurants at a flat rate of $50 per month, significantly less than the typical price of $250 or more. Utilizing the smartphones your staff already possesses, the counting process is as simple as opening a link, counting the items on the shelf, and finishing the task—no need for app installations or individual logins. By taking a picture of an invoice, ShelfCount automatically extracts the data, allowing you to approve any price changes before they affect your financials. Furthermore, recipes and prep recipes automatically adjust costs whenever there is a fluctuation in ingredient prices, while par levels can transform a completed count into a purchase order ready for vendors with just one click. Integration with Square or Clover (with Toast pending certification) ensures that sales data is synchronized seamlessly, enabling you to see where margins may be eroding by comparing theoretical and actual COGS. Designed by a restaurant owner, ShelfCount offers a single plan that accommodates unlimited team members and locations, operates on a month-to-month basis, and includes a 14-day free trial without the requirement of a credit card. This innovative approach allows restaurant owners to regain control over their inventory management and financial tracking effortlessly.
