Platform
Everything your restaurant needs. In one place.
Built for independents who run the pass and the P&L: inventory, prep, orders, vendors, and performance in one connected system.
Marc sits across every module: he drafts, you approve. No more jumping between tools that do not talk to each other.
Today
Start the shift knowing what matters
A single surface for Marc's pending drafts, today's numbers, and the few decisions that actually move margin.
- Morning summary with actions queued for approval
- Marc action cards: food cost flags, PO drafts, briefs
- KPI strip grounded in last night’s close and this week’s plan
Inventory
Par levels that respect how you actually run out
Depletion tied to sales and prep, so Marc can suggest orders before you’re short on the line.
- Par and on-hand with variance signals
- Waste and spoilage notes roll into Marc’s weekly read
- Draft adjustments surface before the rush tells you first
Orders
Purchase orders that don’t start from a blank spreadsheet
Vendor lines, case sizes, and last paid pricing inform every draft Marc puts in front of you.
- Multi-vendor PO drafts with line-level context
- Approval in one tap; Marc never sends without you
- Receiving hooks that keep inventory honest
Performance
Menu engineering without the consultant invoice
See what sells, what pays, and what’s quietly eroding margin, in language your kitchen and floor understand.
- Contribution-style views per plate and category
- Marc ties drift back to ingredients and price moves
- Notes you can hand to the chef as a concrete next step
Vendors
Who you buy from, with receipts
Centralize contacts, terms, and cost history so negotiations start from facts, not memory.
- Vendor catalog linked to products and recipes
- Price movement visible across categories
- Fewer “I think Sysco was…” moments on the expo line
Products
Recipes and plate costs that stay current
When an ingredient moves, Marc helps you see which plates need a second look, before the POS tells you too late.
- Product and prep item structure built for full-service
- Cost rollups that respect yield and batching
- Cleaner handoffs between BOH specs and FOH selling
Redbook
The manager’s log, finally searchable and connected
Shift notes, incidents, and follow-ups live where the next manager actually opens the app.
- Structured entries Marc can reference in briefs
- Handoff from close to open without the group chat novel
- History you can trust when something resurfaces a week later
Pre-shift briefs
The line hears the plan before the first ticket
Role-based briefs pull 86s, features, and notes from Marc and managers: short, scannable, sent on time.
- Kitchen-focused format: 86 list, prep callouts, allergies
- Pulled from sales patterns and Redbook context
- You control tone and length; Marc does the assembly
Event forecasting
Demand that doesn’t ignore what’s on the calendar
Holidays, local events, and weather-shaped patterns inform prep and ordering suggestions, still approved by you.
- Event overlays on top of historical covers
- Marc frames prep and ordering drafts with context
- Honest when data is thin: no false precision
How Marc moves: Draft → Notify → Approve → Execute
Marc never spends your money or changes your menu without a clear draft and your tap. The loop is the same whether it's a PO, a prep target, or a Redbook entry.
1. Draft
Marc builds the action from your data: PO lines, briefs, margin notes.
2. Notify
You get a ping where you already work: summary, not noise.
3. Approve
One tap to accept, or open the draft to adjust like any good manager would.
4. Execute
Marc applies the change in the system: inventory, vendors, briefs, log.
