The $25 /month profit analyst for independent restaurants.
Upload a menu, a POS sales export, and the supplier invoices off the back office shelf — Crumbwise reads them, surfaces per-dish food cost and contribution margin, and hands back price ranges you can actually defend. Plain language. Not accountant-speak.

Pizzerias, diners, delis — the messy
corner of the back office is fine.
Crumbwise reads PDFs, CSVs and images with automated extraction — so a faded supplier invoice still counts, and a takeout POS export you forgot to format is still useful.
Menu
One menu, any shape
Photo, PDF, the laminated one taped to the wall.
POS
A sales export
The CSV your POS already gives you — nothing new to integrate.
Suppliers
Recent invoices
Photos of paper invoices count. So do emailed PDFs.
Five things your accountant would bill
you $400 to put on a spreadsheet.
Every metric, in plain language, with the number next to the menu item it belongs to. Crumbwise never sets a price for you — it returns a range and clearly labels it as an estimate.
Stops pulling ‘estimates’ from a hat — every number has a paper trail back to the line item on an invoice.
Food cost
Per-dish food cost %
Every line item — proteins, sides, garnishes — totaled against the dish price, so you can spot what is actually profitable before the sauce hits the plate.
Margin
Contribution margin
Food cost + labor + variable overhead, stripped out of every sale. The number that decides whether the lunch rush is paying your rent or just funding the linen.
Contribution
Sales-weighted gross-profit contribution
Which 12 menu items move the needle on the month — weighted by the orders you actually sold, not the ones you wish you had.
Pricing
Suggested price ranges
A ceiling, a floor, and a midpoint, calibrated to the margin target you set. Never an auto-change — just a range you can defend on Tuesday at 5pm.
Alerts
Supplier-cost alerts
When mozzarella, fry oil, or hamburger buns quietly climb 8% or more — a note in the inbox before the next invoice lands on the counter.
From ‘I never read my invoices’ to ‘oh, there it is’.
Four steps. Three minutes to upload, a few hours to wait, then numbers.
- 01
Upload your menu
A photo, a PDF, a Google Doc, the laminated one taped to the wall — whatever format you keep it in.
- 02
Add sales + supplier invoices
A POS CSV export and the last month of supplier invoices. Photos are fine; the extraction handles the rest.

We do the reconciling
Crumbwise lines up costs, weights them against the dishes you actually sold, and labels every estimate clearly.

A plain-language summary first — per-dish numbers, suggested ranges, the one alert you actually want to act on.
