Dashboard
See revenue, expenses, net profit, and prime cost in one view. Alerts when prime cost runs high or invoices stay unpaid.
Built around how restaurants actually think: food cost, labor cost, and margin — not abstract accounting categories.
Sales tracking
Log revenue by channel: dine-in, takeout, delivery, catering, and more. Track monthly totals and see where money comes from.
You control the entries. Pull totals from your POS weekly and enter them in under five minutes. No live POS feed in v1.
Expense management
Record costs by category. See food and beverage as a share of sales. Spot when COGS is eating margin before month-end closes.
Compare this month to last month. Know if your food cost percentage is drifting before it becomes a problem.
Invoice tracking
Track vendor bills, due dates, and paid vs unpaid status. Know what you still owe without a separate spreadsheet.
The dashboard shows outstanding invoice totals at a glance so nothing slips through during a busy service week.
Reports & P&L
Profit and Loss for your accounting year. Export to CSV or PDF for your accountant or your own tax files.
Built-in benchmarks for prime cost, food cost, labor cost, and net margin so you know where you stand.
Staff & labor cost
Add your team with roles and hourly rates. Project weekly and monthly labor cost before payroll hits.
Not a payroll processor — planning and visibility only. Know your labor percentage before you write checks.
Prime cost alerts
Set your target prime cost percentage. Casacabe alerts you when food plus labor drifts above your threshold.
Prime cost is the single most important number for restaurant profitability. Casacabe makes it visible every day.
Settings & privacy
Restaurant name, currency, prime cost target, and accounting year. Everything stays on your machine.
No account on our servers. No cloud sync. Your data is as private as the files on your hard drive.
Casacabe vs. the typical restaurant software stack
Most independent owners pay for multiple tools that still do not connect. Here is how Casacabe compares for the backoffice layer:
| What you need | Typical stack | Casacabe |
|---|---|---|
| See if the month was profitable | Spreadsheet + accountant | Built-in dashboard |
| Track prime cost | Manual calculation | Automatic with alerts |
| Vendor invoice tracking | Separate spreadsheet | Built-in invoice section |
| Labor cost planning | Guesswork or payroll add-on | Staff section with projections |
| Monthly cost | $200–$600/month combined | $129 once |
| Data location | Multiple cloud accounts | 100% on your computer |
What v1 does not include
We say this clearly so you buy with open eyes:
- No automatic sync with Toast, Square, or QuickBooks
- No multi-location or franchise rollups
- No payroll tax filing or direct deposit
- No cloud backup from us — you export and back up yourself
- No inventory management or recipe costing
