How it works

Signed up Monday. Saving money by Sunday.

Most restaurant software takes a quarter to implement. DishMath takes less than 30 minutes — then we get to work.

Day 0 · 4 minutes

Connect your POS.

Click once. We use official APIs from Toast, Square, and Clover. No receipt-reading, no CSV uploads, no dodgy scrapers.

We backfill 90 days of sales so your first benchmarks are meaningful from day one.

Day 0 · 3 minutes

Connect QuickBooks or Xero.

We read your books — we do not write to them without approval. Every suggested journal entry is yours to accept or reject.

Day 0 · 5 minutes

Forward one week of supplier invoices.

Sysco, US Foods, regional produce, paper goods — send the PDFs to invoices@DishMath.com. We OCR them in seconds.

An LLM maps each line item to your menu. You confirm the mapping once per vendor. After that, it runs on autopilot.

Invoice parsed · 2.1s

[Sysco-US] 80/20 Ground Beef · 40 lb · $203.20
→ maps to: Cheeseburger, Meatloaf
→ unit cost: $5.08/lb
→ prev week: $4.68/lb (+8.5%)

Day 1–3

We build your recipes automatically.

Using sales mix from the POS, invoice quantities, and a bit of LLM magic, we reverse-engineer a plausible recipe for every top-selling menu item. You approve or adjust in minutes.

AI

Auto-drafted

A starting recipe for every dish, with ingredient quantities.

You edit once

Tweak portions, add modifiers, set waste %.

Self-updating

As supplier prices move, your food cost updates automatically.

Day 4–6

We compare you to 5,000+ peers.

The moment your data is normalized, we match you against similar restaurants: cuisine, price point, zip code, seat count. You'll see exactly where you're leaking cash.
