Product

One platform. Six tools. Zero dashboards.

DishMath replaces the scattered stack — spreadsheets, a bookkeeper, supplier phone tag, gut feel — with a single AI-powered finance layer that reads your data and tells you what to do next.

Module 01

Dish-level P&L, live.

Every plate you sell has a food cost, a labor cost, and a contribution margin. We calculate all three automatically, every night, using your POS sales and your supplier invoices.

  • Per-item food cost %, refreshed nightly
  • Contribution margin ranking
  • "Dogs list": dishes losing money right now

Module 02

Supplier switching, in one tap.

We track wholesale prices at Sysco, US Foods, Restaurant Depot, and hundreds of regional distributors. When we spot a better deal, we draft the switch for you.

  • Automatic price monitoring across 40+ vendors
  • One-tap approval in the SMS
  • We handle the re-ordering on your behalf
Module 03

Labor layer.

The second-largest line item in any restaurant — and the one that changes every week. We plug into your scheduling tool and show you the numbers that matter.

%

Labor as % of revenue

By day-part, by station, vs. last month and vs. your peers.

Overstaffed hours

We pinpoint the 11am–1pm lulls bleeding you $400/week.

Schedule suggestions

Push-to-7shifts draft schedules you can approve or edit.

Module 04

Module 06 — the wedge

The Monday briefing.

Everything above is compressed into one SMS. Three decisions, five minutes, before service starts. That's it. That's the product.

Prefer email, WhatsApp, or Slack? We'll send it there too.

Controls

You own the numbers. We just do the math.

Multi-location

Run 1 or 30 locations. P&L rolls up; briefings are sent per location to the right manager.

Role-based access

Owner, GM, accountant, investor. Each sees exactly what they should.

Export anything

CSV, Excel, QuickBooks journal entries. Your data leaves on request.

Every Monday at 7am I get a text that pays for the month. I don't know how I ran three restaurants before this.
