The old way vs. The Neat Profit
Spreadsheets don't catch food waste.
Behind most restaurants, today
- Counting inventory on a clipboard, guessing portions by eye
- Costing recipes once a year, if ever
- Finding out you're out of salmon mid-Friday dinner rush
- Noticing food waste in the P&L, three months too late
Behind the restaurant, with The Neat Profit
- Count on your phone in seconds, item by item, offline or not
- Every recipe costed automatically as vendor prices shift
- Suggested par levels and one-tap orders before you run dry
- Waste flagged the day it happens, synced straight from your POS

From the kitchen
Tasting notes from teams running on The Neat Profit.
“We found a salmon supplier overcharging us by 12% a week before it ever showed up in the P&L. The Neat Profit paid for itself in the first month.”
Executive Chef, coastal restaurant group
“Recipe costing used to be a spreadsheet nobody trusted. Now it updates itself every time a supplier changes a price — food cost percentage is always current.”
GM, four-unit restaurant group
“Inventory used to eat a Sunday morning. Now it's twenty minutes on a phone, and I actually believe the numbers. Waste is down 18%.”
