Risebound · Industries · Restaurant groupsFor multi-location operators

Know what every dish costs
this week, not last quarter.

Custom software and AI for restaurant groups that have outgrown spreadsheets. Real food cost by recipe, shrinkage by category, prime cost on the phone before the dinner rush.

Where margin walks out

The leaks every multi-location operator knows.

The pattern repeats across pizza, casual dining, fast-casual, and white-tablecloth. The fixes are not the same; the diagnosis is.

Food cost is a guess

You know the target ratio. You do not know which dishes are blowing it, this week, in which location.

Paper invoices everywhere

Half your suppliers still hand you paper. Re-keying into the spreadsheet is somebody’s Sunday.

Shrinkage with no proof

You suspect you are buying more than you sell. Without a real count there is no number to fix.

Owner Saturdays

Tip distribution, payroll math, schedule patching. The owner becomes the back office on weekends.

POS, inventory, accounting do not talk

Three systems of record, three exports, one operator stitching them together with paper-clips and willpower.

Pricing that drifts

Costs went up; menu prices did not follow. The dishes you sell most are the ones killing the margin.

What we build for restaurant groups

The operating layer between your POS and your owners.

We do not replace your POS. We build the layer above it that closes the loop on cost, inventory, and labor, and lands the numbers on a phone the owners can read between rushes.

Recipe and BOM cost engine

A bill-of-materials model down to the sub-recipe, costed against the price you actually paid last week.

  • Sub-recipes resolve into final dish cost in real time
  • Margin per dish, per portion, per location
  • Cost drift alerts when an input moves more than X percent

Invoice OCR pipeline

Snap a photo of the paper invoice; the system extracts items, prices, and units and updates costing automatically.

  • Vision model trained on your suppliers
  • Unit conversion and historical price match
  • Approval queue for the items it is not sure about

POS to inventory bridge

Theoretical consumption from sales mapped against received and counted inventory. Shrinkage finally has a number.

  • Daily theoretical vs actual variance by category
  • Weekly or biweekly count workflow on the phone
  • Variance attribution: prep, portion, waste, theft

Prime cost daily

Food cost plus labor cost, refreshed every day, per location, on the owners’ phones.

  • Mobile-first dashboards owners actually open
  • Drill into the dishes or shifts driving the day
  • Push alerts when a location breaches threshold

Tip and payroll automation

Tip pool math, tip credit handling, and payroll prep that takes a Saturday and turns it into an hour.

  • Configurable tip rules per location and shift
  • Tip credit and overtime handled to spec
  • Hand-off ready for your payroll provider

Menu intelligence

Pricing recommendations and dish-mix nudges that follow input cost, not the season your last menu was printed.

  • Target-margin pricing per dish and size
  • Move-the-mix nudges to a high-margin item
  • Side-by-side what-if before you reprint

Stack we plug into

Built to coexist with your POS.

POS migrations are rarely the win. We plug into what you have, fill the gaps it does not cover, and hand back the source code.
