Restaurant analytics and business operating reviews
Review sales, labor, food costs, buying, customers and channels by day, week, month or year. See evidence, missing inputs and decisions to make.
What you can do
Day, week, month and year
Choose the period, move to earlier reviews and distinguish completed periods from the current period so far.
Sales, rushes and seasonality
Review available sales by day, hour and item, with the comparisons supported by the business’s records.
Labor and coverage
Read worked hours where available, or clearly identified schedule estimates, against sales and the labor target.
Food costs, menu and buying
Bring recipe-cost coverage, item sales and recorded purchases into the same review.
Customers, channels and reviews
Review repeat-visit and channel information when the connected records support it.
Actions and missing evidence
The review lists what deserves a closer look, decisions for the period and missing inputs instead of inventing figures.
Business context across 32 facets
Owner notes and coverage checks span areas such as cash, suppliers, goals, risk and continuity. A facet being listed does not mean it has been measured.
Saved reviews and email choices
Return to kept reviews. Review emails are controlled by explicit owner opt-in settings.
Try the workflow with your own agent
A first operating snapshot: what changed in one period, the data gaps and the next question to investigate. Use the free instructions with your own records, then decide whether you need a connected product.
Access and setup
Confirm access and source coverage for your account. A review can only measure the records supplied; staffing estimates, incomplete recipe costs and unavailable customer data remain identified. This is decision support, not an audited financial statement.
Confirm the available workflow and its plan or add-on requirements for your business before setup. See the current plans or ask the MDML team.
