Emergent Key Features for Building a Restaurant SaaS
Prime cost is decided daily and reviewed monthly, which is why most restaurants find out about a bad month once it is over.
Food and Labour against Sales Daily
Both major costs measured as a share of takings each day, since a monthly figure arrives four weeks after the week that caused it.
Dish Profitability, Not Dish Popularity
Margin contribution per dish alongside volume, which routinely reveals that the best selling item is subsidising the menu rather than carrying it.
Prep Guided by Recent Trade
Suggested quantities from actual recent sales, which is where waste is either created or avoided before service even starts.
Bookings Beside Covers Served
Reservations, walk ins, no shows and covers actually served, so capacity decisions are made on what happened rather than what was booked.
Supplier Price Changes Flagged
Cost increases surfaced against the dishes they affect, so a menu price is reviewed when the ingredient moves rather than at the next menu reprint.
Staffing to Service Periods
Hours scheduled against covers by service, because a restaurant that averages well on labour can still be overstaffed every Tuesday lunch.

Prime Cost, Not a Monthly Surprise
Food cost as a percentage of sales by week, labour by service period, hours against covers served, prime cost combining both, supplier price movements against affected dishes, and waste by category.

Plan on Served, Not Booked

Build your restaurant SaaS in four steps
Your dishes with their recipes and portion costs, service periods, covers by day, supplier list and target food and labour percentages. Prime cost is calculated from these daily.
Your dishes with their recipes and portion costs, service periods, covers by day, supplier list and target food and labour percentages. Prime cost is calculated from these daily.
Square, Lightspeed or your point of sale for sales, your rota for labour hours, and supplier invoices for ingredient cost. Food and labour appear against the same day's takings.
A new dish, a changed portion size, an updated supplier price, a different service period. Historical trading data stays comparable so a change can actually be judged.
Watch daily prime cost against what you assumed, because the gap is usually the finding. Adjust prep quantities and staffing once you can see which days are causing it.
