Common questions

How do I get the file?

Checkout happens on Etsy. As soon as payment clears, the download is available from your Etsy purchases page and from the receipt email Etsy sends you.

What do I need to open it?

The format is listed under the price at the top of this page. Spreadsheets open in Excel or Google Sheets, and PDF files open in any PDF reader. There is no subscription and nothing to install.

Can you add my logo, restaurant name or currency?

Yes. Add the Branding Add-on in our Etsy shop, or ask about a custom build if you want the tool shaped around your operation.

What if I get stuck setting it up?

Start with the template help page. If that does not solve it, email hello@opsedgehospitality.com and we will walk you through it.

Can I try the method before I buy?

Yes. The free calculators and guides cover the same formulas and routines, and the Prime Cost Score quiz shows where to start.
