What The Engine Finds
$1,400
Food Cost Variance
Actual vs theoretical food cost drift. Identifies which menu items and shifts drive the gap.
$950
Labor Schedule Gaps
Overstaffing patterns by day and shift. Finds the exact overlap costing you the most.
$850
Menu Waste Patterns
SKUs with consistent prep waste, over-production, and unsold inventory patterns.
$710
Overtime Clusters
Recurring overtime by employee and position. Identifies scheduling fixes to eliminate it.
$620
Vendor Pricing Drift
Price creep from suppliers vs. contracted rates. Flags renegotiation targets.
$390
Comps & Voids Abuse
Discount and void patterns outside normal bounds. Signals training or access control issues.

Average monthly leak per category. Actual amounts vary by restaurant size and format.

Pricing

Essential infrastructure.
Not a line item.

If the engine finds $3,000/month in leaks, you paid $197 to recover $36,000/year. The math is not complicated.

$2K+
Found or it's free. No exceptions.
Every independently operated restaurant processing $50K+/month in revenue has at least $2,000/month in recoverable profit leaks. This is not marketing language — it's arithmetic. Food cost variance alone averages 4.3% above target in restaurants without systematic monitoring. If the engine doesn't find $2,000+, the charge is reversed. No forms, no arguments.

What happens when
the engine runs.

+$3,200/mo
I was skeptical — but it found $3,200 a month in leaks I'd been ignoring for two years. The food cost variance report alone was worth it ten times over. Had our CFO review it. She was impressed.

+$4,100/mo
48-hour turnaround is real. Submitted Sunday night, had the report Monday morning. The priority ranking meant I knew exactly what to fix first. Fixed the top two leaks in one week.
R
Roberto Fuentes
Casa del Sol · Austin, TX
+$2,800/mo
We've been open 6 years and thought we knew where every dollar went. The labour analysis showed I was overstaffing Tuesdays by $950/month. That's $11,400 a year. Fixed in one schedule change.

Backend Configuration Requires Setup
The Run Engine button calls POST /run-audit on your Render FastAPI backend. Configure the endpoint URL below.
How it works: File is sent to your Render endpoint via multipart form POST. The backend runs audit_engine.py on your server, generates the PDF via audit_report.py, and returns the results JSON. The dashboard renders the results live. The PDF is also emailed to the client automatically via Resend.
