Independent Restaurant Consulting

Your Toast & xtraCHEF system should be working for you — not against you.

A tiny 3% variance in your food costs can mean the difference between a profitable month and a net loss. We optimize your back-of-house tech stack to reveal your real margins, track your inventory accurately, and instantly protect your bottom line.

The Problem

You bought the software. The data is still a mess.

Inaccurate inventory deductions

Recipes aren't tied to real sales, so counts drift week over week and nothing reconciles.

Mismapped vendor invoices

Items get double-created, units get mixed up, and price changes slip through unnoticed.

No real food cost visibility

You see a number in xtraCHEF — but you don't trust it, so you don't act on it.

WHAT WE DO

Three ways I get your system telling the truth.

System Audit & Cleanup

A top-to-bottom review of your Toast and xtraCHEF setup — identifying mismapped items, broken recipes, and duplicate vendors, with a clear remediation plan.

Recipe & Inventory Mapping

Build out your highest-volume recipes with correct units, waste factors, and vendor pricing so inventory deductions actually match reality.

Ongoing Monthly Maintenance

Monthly invoice review, price-change flagging, and reconciliation so your food cost number stays trustworthy — not just accurate on day one.

Packages

Straightforward engagements.

Start with a cleanup, then keep it clean. Every plan is scoped to your operation.

Step 1 — One-Time Setup

Most new clients start here — a full audit and cleanup of your existing system.

The Launchpad

Best for restaurants with messy or never-cleaned-up data

$5,000–$7,500flat, one-time

A comprehensive, top-to-bottom technical architecture build. We clean up years of broken data, align your vendor mappings, and build out your core high-volume recipes so your inventory and Actual vs. Theoretical (AvT) cost-tracking functions flawlessly.

  • Full system audit & technical remediation plan
  • Vendor, item, and unit-of-measure database cleanup
  • Core high-volume recipe mapping (up to 40 items)
  • End-to-end integration proof of concept (Invoice -> Sale -> Inventory)
  • Full system handover documentation
Step 2 — Choose Your Ongoing Plan

Once your system is clean, pick the ongoing support level that fits your operation.

The Autopilot

Best for owners who want their data to stay accurate without touching it

$1,200–$2,000per month

Ongoing database maintenance and invoice exception resolution to ensure your data stays pristine, your inventory remains accurate, and your food cost numbers stay trustworthy after the initial buildup.

  • Weekly invoice mapping review & error resolution
  • Vendor price-change flagging & cost-increase alerts
  • Real-time inventory reconciliation support
  • Direct email & priority phone support

Prime Cost Partner

Best for owners who want a monthly strategy session on where margin is leaking

$2,500–$4,000per month

A true fractional operational partnership. Everything in Autopilot, plus deep-dive variance analysis and strategic leadership insights to actively reverse profit losses and protect your bottom line.

  • Everything in Autopilot maintenance
  • Monthly Actual vs. Theoretical (AvT) variance deep-dive
  • Executive owner-level food & liquor cost profitability report
  • Labor & operational cost-leakage analysis
  • Monthly strategic alignment session (in-person or remote)

Final pricing depends on menu size, location count, and current data quality — most single-location restaurants land toward the lower end of each range.

Why It Matters

A 2% drop in food cost on $1M in revenue is $20,000 back in your pocket.

That's the difference between software that costs you money and software that pays for itself many times over.

About

Hands-on. Detail-oriented. In your data, not above it.

We are a Florida-based restaurant systems consultant agency working directly with independent operators using Toast POS and xtraCHEF. Our background is in the weeds of back-of-house data — recipes, invoices, inventory counts, variance reports — the unglamorous work that makes food cost numbers actually mean something.

We work with a small number of restaurants at a time so every client gets real attention, not a ticket queue.
