ProfitPlus inventory app · Built by a restaurant operator
Snap the invoice. Know your food cost by Monday.
ProfitPlus is a restaurant inventory and food-cost app built by a working restaurant GM. Your crew photographs every delivery, your item list builds itself from it, and every Monday you see what you used, what it cost, which vendor raised prices and what to order. 30 days free, then $49 a month per location. No setup fee, no contract.
Guarantee: find at least $1,000 a year in vendor savings in your first 60 days, or your money back. How it works

Snap an invoice, and your inventory logs itself
ProfitPlus runs in your staff's phone browser, with nothing to download. A link and a store PIN is the whole setup.
- Enter who delivered itVendor and date, the way you'd write it on the sheet.
- Take a picture of every pageNo typing line items, no retyping prices.
- It's read and counted automaticallyItems, quantities and prices land in your log, and any price that moved gets flagged.
Restaurant inventory and food cost you can see every week.
I built this for my own kitchen first, to capture invoices, track vendor prices and write our order guides. ProfitPlus is the finished version, ready for yours: free for 30 days, then month to month.
Works in any phone's browser. Nothing to download.
Your weekly order guide, written from your inventory
Every Monday morning it's ready in ProfitPlus, built from what you actually used, not what someone remembers.
- Order quantities worked out from your on-hand counts and par levels
- Last week's usage next to your four-week average
- Flags when an item runs way over or under normal, so you catch waste, theft or a miscount
Where the money goes quietly
- A vendor raises avocados 14% in the fine print, and nobody notices until the monthly P&L.
- Someone spends Sunday night typing invoice lines into a spreadsheet. Or nobody does, and the numbers are always a month behind.
- Orders get placed from memory, so you run out of to-go containers on a Friday and throw out produce on Monday.
- A full count takes hours, so it slides to once a month. Or the counts happen, and nobody knows what to do with the numbers.
None of this takes a big software platform. It takes a system that does the watching for you.
ProfitPlus
What the app watches for you
Automatic invoice data extraction
Items, quantities and prices are read from the photo and logged, so nobody retypes invoice lines.
Vendor price tracking
Every purchase price is kept by item and vendor, so you can compare vendors side by side.
Price increases flagged
A price that jumps past your limit gets flagged instead of hiding in next month's P&L.
Inventory usage
On-hand counts and received product turn into recent and average usage for every item.
Food-cost visibility
Current prices and real usage show what is driving food cost, not just the monthly percentage.
Order-guide assistance
A suggested order for each item, worked out from par levels, on-hand counts and average usage.
Unusual ingredient usage
Items used far above or below normal are flagged, so waste, over-portioning or a miscount gets caught early.
Restaurant systems with measured results
The systems are built from day-to-day restaurant operations, then measured against the problem they are supposed to solve.
~30%over recipe usage, one ingredient
Documented waste reduction
Inventory, invoice capture, vendor price tracking and automatic order guides made abnormal usage visible enough to act on, inside a real restaurant. Results depend on your menu, volume and starting point.

Guarantee
Find at least $1,000 a year in vendor savings in your first 60 days, or your money back.
For restaurants buying from two or more vendors. Savings are the price difference between your vendors on the same item, times your average weekly usage, times 52, from your own invoices. The 60 days start the day you go live and include your 30-day free trial. If it falls short, tell me and I'll refund your first month's $49.

What inventory software costs
Inventory software typically runs $239 to $350 a month, and you still have to set it up and keep it mapped. ProfitPlus is $49, and the item list builds itself from your invoices.
Software figures are typical rates for a single location in 2026 and vary by plan.
Labor Forecaster & Staffing Planner
Reduce labor costs by scheduling to demand, not habit.
Most restaurants lose money on labor because the schedule is built on habit, not on the sales that are actually coming. The Labor Forecaster & Staffing Planner:
- Forecasts upcoming restaurant sales
- Converts expected sales into SPLH-based labor-hour targets
- Allocates labor by day and hour
- Automatically emails the planning report before you write the schedule

Custom business automation
Outside restaurant operations, I also build custom tools for repetitive business workflows: data entry, invoices, Google Sheets, dashboards, forms and quote calculators.
Websites & digital marketing
Website and Google Business audits, full website builds, and YouTube or social-media advertising are available as standalone services for restaurants and local businesses.

Questions owners ask
Is there a monthly fee?
Yes, after a 30-day free trial: $49 a month per location, with everything included. No setup fee, no add-ons, no per-invoice charges and no contract, and you get an email 3 days before your trial ends.
What if it doesn't find any savings?
If you buy from two or more vendors and it doesn't find at least $1,000 a year in vendor savings in your first 60 days, tell me and I'll refund your first month's $49. Savings are the price difference between your vendors on the same item, times your average weekly usage, times 52, from your own invoices. The 60 days start the day you go live and include your 30-day free trial.
How often should I count inventory?
Weekly. Food cost is the one variable cost that can swing a lot in a single week, and a monthly count finds the leak a month too late. If a full count takes too long, count your high-dollar items every week and the rest once a month. ProfitPlus's quick count picks your 10 biggest-spend items from your invoices: about 15 minutes on a phone.
Why not just use a spreadsheet?
A spreadsheet works until nobody has time to type into it. ProfitPlus fills in the numbers from invoice photos and does the math every week, and you can export everything to a spreadsheet anytime.
What happens if I cancel?
Your account goes read-only and your data stays yours: you can download everything as spreadsheets. If you cancel during the 30-day free trial, you aren't charged.
Do I have to download anything from the App Store?
No. ProfitPlus works in your phone's browser and installs to your home screen in two taps, on iPhone and Android.
Does my staff need an account?
No. You send them a link and a store PIN. They can photograph invoices, count and log waste, nothing else. They never see prices, costs or reports.
Does it work for more than one location?
Yes. Each location keeps its own items, counts and pars, all under one login, at $49 per location.
Do I need recipes set up first?
No. Usage comes from your counts and your invoices, so your numbers work from the first week. No recipes to build, nothing to connect.
Do I have to change my POS or my vendors?
No. It works with the vendors and systems you already use.
Who do I talk to if something breaks?
Me. You reach a real person by phone, text or email, not a support bot.
Do you work outside Watsonville?
Yes. ProfitPlus works anywhere, and the labor planner and custom automation builds happen remotely. Around Watsonville I'm happy to come in.
