Why MarginPilot
Your P&L shouldn't
live in a spreadsheet.
Most operators find out about margin problems 4 to 6 weeks after they happen. By then, you've already served thousands of under-priced dishes.
Hourly P&L, not monthly surprises
MarginPilot pulls sales data from your POS and invoice costs from your suppliers every hour. Your gross margin is current, always. See the moment a dish turns unprofitable.
- Per-dish margin breakdown
- Labor cost overlaid on revenue
- Configurable alert thresholds
