Challenges independent owners face daily
You're wearing 10 hats. Food cost management shouldn't take another full-time hire.
No Time
Between managing staff, customers, and operations, who has 8 hours for invoice data entry?
Price Blindness
Your supplier raised chicken prices 12%. You won't know until you check your P&L next month.
No Benchmarks
Are you getting a good deal on tomatoes? On olive oil? You have no way to compare.
Margin Pressure
Costs creep up slowly. By the time you notice, you've lost thousands in profit.
