The problem
You're not missing data. You're missing visibility.
Every week, the math under your menu quietly changes.
Supplier prices drift. Your recipes don't. The gap hides in invoices you won't read closely for weeks.
By then your bestsellers have been bleeding margin and the money's gone. The problem was never that you don't care. You just couldn't see it happen, until now.

Heads up — olive oil (4L EVOO) jumped from $58.40 to $72.00 on today's GFS invoice. That's +23% overnight.
3 of your dishes use it. Your aglio e olio plate cost just went up $0.41. Might be worth a pricing look.
Caught the morning the invoice landed, not next month.
The math underneath
The squeeze is real, and it isn't letting up.
This isn't a you problem. It's an everyone problem, and the numbers back it up.

Adjust pricing before margins erode further.

Common questions
The questions operators
actually ask.
Days, not months. Forward your invoices and map your top 10 to 20 sellers, you'll see real numbers in your first week. You don't have to map your entire menu before it starts paying off.
That's the point. Start with your top 10 to 20 sellers and map incrementally. Simplifi is built for inconsistent formatting, unclear item names, and incomplete data on purpose. You need directional clarity, not perfect spreadsheets.
No, and it's not trying to. Simplifi works alongside your POS and books. It does not replace accounting, allocate labor per dish, or model delivery fees. It focuses on food cost accuracy, inventory movement, and ingredient economics, the layer you control day to day.
No contract, cancel anytime. Founding members keep their locked-in rate for as long as they stay. We'd rather earn the next month than trap you into it.
