Questions

Are the calculators really free?

Yes. All eleven calculators run in your browser with no signup. The guides are free too. The Excel and Google Sheets templates are paid, one-time purchases.

Do the templates work in Google Sheets?

Yes. Every spreadsheet template comes as an Excel file and works in Google Sheets. Training manuals and SOPs come as editable Word documents.

Do I need restaurant software, or is a spreadsheet enough?

For one or two locations with one person who owns the numbers, a spreadsheet usually covers it. Software earns its fee at three or more locations, with heavy invoice volume, or when you need live sales and labor. See our spreadsheet or software comparison, with 2026 prices and a five question test.
