numbers that predict the outcome

Costs that creep

Supplier prices nudge up, portions drift, a popular dish was never costed. By month-end you've served thousands of plates at the wrong margin.

DishData makes it visible in time

Waste you can't see

4–10% of food bought is never sold — it spoils, gets over-prepped, or quietly disappears. Pure margin in the bin, and nobody logs it.

DishData makes it visible in time

Labor on autopilot

Rosters built from habit instead of demand burn wages on slow shifts and lose covers on busy ones. Both cost you.

Live food cost

See cost the moment it moves

Every sale costs the plate against live ingredient prices and depletes inventory automatically — so food cost is a daily number you can act on, not a monthly surprise.

  • Plate-level margin on every dish
  • Live prices linked from procurement
  • Daily food-cost %, not month-end

Waste control

Catch waste before the bin

Log waste in two taps and get expiry and par-level alerts before things go bad. Operators who track it in real time routinely cut waste by a third or more.

  • Two-tap waste logging on any device
  • Expiry & par-level alerts before spoilage
  • Root-cause breakdown by reason
One connected platform

Twenty-plus modules, one source of truth

Point of Sale

Fast ordering, split bills, tips, discounts and tableside service. Every sale flows straight into inventory and finance.

Kitchen Display

A live ticket board for the line. Course timing, prep status and bumps keep the pass moving in sync.

Floor & Reservations

Tables, seating and bookings in one view, so front-of-house always knows what's open and what's coming.

Recipes & Costing

Build recipes, link ingredients to live prices, and see plate cost and margin update automatically.

Inventory & Assets

Live stock, par levels and waste logging — plus equipment, packaging, shelf locations and scannable QR labels.

Procurement

Vendors, ratings, price index and one-click purchase orders that auto-restock items below par.

AIFood cost rose 2.3 pts — salmon was up 14% from Ocean Direct and portions ran heavy on Fri/Sat. Re-cost the special or switch to Black Cod to recover ~$420/wk.

Restaurants that found their numbers

We cut food cost by four points in the first quarter just by seeing it daily instead of monthly. That's real money back in the business.

MSMaria SantosOwner, Brass Fig

The menu engineering view paid for the whole platform. We cut three dogs and repriced two plowhorses — margin went up without anyone noticing.

JOJames OkaforGM, Harbor & Vine

Everything finally lives in one place. Inventory, sales, labor, finance — I stopped stitching spreadsheets together at midnight.
