01 · Automated bookkeeper
Flash P&Ls daily and weekly. Full P&Ls by period. Every number drills to its source.
Operating profit per store, every morning and every Monday — sales, food, labor, prime cost, delivery economics, fixed costs accrued the week they belong to, not the week they were paid. Then the full 13-period P&L, balance sheet and cash position behind it.
- Tap any figure: food cost → category → item → invoice line → the original invoice.
- Accrual books kept automatically; a clean, accountant-ready package at year end.
- Sales tax accrued per state and per period, so what's owed is never a surprise.
02 · Automated reconciliation
Reconciled to the cent, without a human.
POS sales to settlements, settlements to bank deposits, invoices to payments, payroll to the debits. Everything that matches posts itself; anything that doesn't lands in a short exception list with the evidence attached.
- Auto-approves within tolerances you set; humans touch exceptions only.
- Nothing is ever overwritten — corrections are audited entries.
03 · Third-party delivery
Third-party apps, unmasked.
Uber Eats, DoorDash and Grubhub at their true economics: commission, service fees, promo co-funding, refunds and processing — netted against your menu markup, per item and per channel.
- See what a delivery order actually contributes after every fee.
- Promos and "marketing" spend measured as incremental or not.
- Food cost shown at board price so delivery markups don't flatter it.
04 · Find the leaks
Know where you are leaking. Built to lower food and labor cost.
Not a dashboard that shows labor was 29% — a system that tells you why: "Tuesday and Wednesday ran one person over," "portioning variance on hand-cut items spiked this week," "void rate at one store is three times the others." Every claim comes with the calculation behind it.
- Labor vs. sales by day and daypart; overtime creep; scheduled vs. actual hours.
- Actual vs. theoretical usage from in-app counts; waste by item and reason; comps and refunds by employee.
- A ranked list of what it costs you, so the first thing you fix is the biggest one.
05 · Distributor price intelligence
Tired of games with distributors? Know when prices move.
Every invoice line becomes a price observation. rux tracks each item's case price over time, flags increases the moment they appear, compares vendors on a normalized unit cost, and tells you the monthly impact and which recipes it hits.
- Latest vs. previous, 30/90-day averages, historical low and high.
- Cross-vendor substitution analysis on the same master item.
06 · Recipes and inventory
True cost vs. theoretical.
Recipes cost up from real invoice prices with unit conversions, sub-recipes, yields and packaging — versioned, so October's recipe change never rewrites September. Counts happen in the app, on a phone, walking the walk-in.
- Actual vs. theoretical usage, dollar variance, shrink explained.
- Menu engineering by channel: stars, workhorses, puzzles, dogs.
- Pricing simulations: "raise the Double 50¢," "beef up 10%."
07 · Scheduling on real forecasts
Schedule to the forecast, not to the gut.
Sales forecasts by day and hour from your own history — weather, promotions and channel mix included — drive a labor target per shift. Managers build schedules against it and see the labor percentage before the week starts, not after payroll runs.
