Restaurant back office: food cost and P&L per outlet
Food cost per dish and profit per outlet, the next morning, from the POS and purchase system you already run. The problem starts after the sale: closings photographed into WhatsApp, purchases in another system, food cost a guess, a P&L weeks late. The back office pulls sales and purchases into one ledger. It sits on top of your POS; you keep it.
Who it is for
- Restaurant groups with two or more outlets in Pakistan
- Owners who want food cost per dish and P&L per outlet without a finance team rebuilding spreadsheets
- Operations managers who need cashier closings checked against POS sales every night
Not for
- Single-outlet cafés happy with POS reports. The value is in reconciling several sources.
- Replacing your POS or your tax-invoicing setup. Tax figures flow through from the POS as recorded there.
What you get
- Sync of sales from the POS and purchases from the ERP on a schedule, by web login, no API keys to leak
- Cashier closing sheets reconciled line by line against POS sales
- Recipes / bill of materials with food-cost variance and consumption sheets
- P&L per outlet: COGS by category, delivery / rider / service charges, GST as recorded, fixed expenses prorated by business day
- Sales forecast with a 30-day horizon that knows about Eid and match days
- Vendor demand and supply-chain sheets sent by WhatsApp
- Roles for owner, manager and cashier; activity log; nightly backups
How it runs
Closing review
Send me last month's closing sheets. I show you your variance and food cost per outlet from them.
Connect
POS and purchase system connected in the app's own settings. One outlet first.
Roll out
Recipes entered, managers trained, the other outlets added once the first is clean.
Operate
Hosted on Railway, backups nightly, monthly review of food cost and variance if you want it.
Engagement: fixed-scope project or monthly retainer. Quoted in writing after the review, never on the call.
Proof
Questions I get asked
- Which POS systems?
- Built on QuickBill. Any POS with a reports login or export can be connected; I confirm in the first step.
- Does it handle FBR / PRA invoicing?
- Invoicing and tax reporting stay in your POS. The back office reads the figures as the POS recorded them and shows them per outlet; it does not file returns.
- How many outlets can it take?
- Built for four; the model has no fixed limit.
- Can I see it before committing?
- Yes. The closing review in step one uses your real sheets and takes a week.

Thirty minutes, your process, an honest answer. If a build is the wrong move, I will say so.
