Reading week of Jun 9
Why was my food cost high last week?
Cream rose 9%, pushing food cost to 33%. Re-quote produce and trim portion overage on the salmon - that recovers about $2,140 a month.
A food cost CFO, in the room.
Ask why food cost moved and get a straight answer - grounded in your actual invoices and recipes, with the one move that matters next.
- Reads your invoices, recipes and plate costs
- Cites the figure behind the call

Prices
Plates
Every plate, every price, every week
Recipes, vendors and invoices on the same numbers - so a price change on Tuesday shows up on the plate it touched, not on the P&L a month later.
Plate costing & grades
Build a recipe once and its cost stays live. Sauces and prep batches cost through to every plate that uses them, down to the yield.
Every plate gets a grade, so you can see at a glance which dishes earn their spot on the menu and which ones quietly eat your margin.

Projects & action items
Every fix the coach finds lands as a ranked action item. The bigger ones become projects with an owner and a target date.
Every cost traces back to its invoice
AI reads the invoice. You can see where every number came from and correct any of it.
Unsure lines wait for you
A shaky read, a price that looks off or a pack size that does not match is held for your check before it touches a plate cost.
Open the invoice behind any price
Every ingredient price links back to the invoice that set it, so you can see exactly where a number came from.
Fix it once
Correct a line on any posted invoice and re-post. EROS learns the fix for the next delivery.
