Know Your Numbers Before the Kitchen Opens
Model revenue, costs, and cash flow in one place. Finally understand your margins and plan for growth with confidence.
The challenges you face
Margins are razor thin
Between food costs, labor, and rent, there's little room for error. You need to understand your numbers precisely.
Seasonality swings are brutal
Summer patios are packed, January is dead. Forecasting around these swings is essential but difficult.
Expansion decisions are risky
Opening a second location could make you—or break you. You need to model it properly before signing a lease.
A better approach
Profitual gives you flexible building blocks to model your restaurant's finances. Define your revenue assumptions, cost structure, and growth plans—then see how they flow through to profitability and cash.
