How it works

How Casacabe works

No cloud lock-in. No surprise bills. Three steps and you are running your restaurant numbers from one desktop dashboard on your Mac or PC.

  1. 1

    Buy once, download instantly

    Checkout takes about two minutes through secure Stripe payment. You get Mac and Windows installers plus your license key by email immediately after purchase. No account creation on our servers. No waiting for approval.

  2. 2

    Install on your computer

    Download the installer for your platform and run it like any desktop app. Your restaurant data lives in a local database on your machine — not in our cloud. Export your data anytime. Delete it anytime. Back it up however you want. You stay in full control.

  3. 3

    See your numbers in one place

    Enter your sales, expenses, staff hours, and vendor invoices. Casacabe organizes everything into a dashboard with prime cost, profit margins, and alerts. Built for independent owners who do their own admin — not for chains with live POS feeds.

What your weekly workflow looks like

Most owners spend 15–30 minutes per week keeping Casacabe up to date. Here is a typical rhythm:

  • Monday: Log last week's sales from your POS report into the Sales section.
  • Mid-week: Add vendor invoices as they arrive. Mark bills paid when you send payment.
  • Friday: Check the dashboard for prime cost and labor percentage before the weekend rush.
  • Month end: Export a Profit and Loss report to CSV or PDF for your accountant or tax files.

Where your data comes from

Casacabe v1 does not sync automatically with Toast, Square, QuickBooks, or any other system. You enter or import your own numbers. That is intentional — it keeps the app simple, fast, and entirely under your control. Many owners pull totals from their POS weekly and enter them in under five minutes.

If you need live POS integration or automatic bank feeds, Casacabe is not the right fit today. We say that upfront so you are not surprised after purchase. Read our FAQ for the full list of what v1 includes and excludes.

Local-first means private by default

When you install Casacabe, nothing is uploaded to our servers. We cannot see your revenue, your staff wages, or your vendor invoices. There is no "sync to cloud" toggle because there is no cloud. Your data is as private as the files on your hard drive.

This matters if you care about data ownership, want to work offline, or simply do not trust another SaaS company with your restaurant's financial details.
