Menu Engineer & Item Profitability
Re-prices stars, kills dogs, redesigns the menu monthly. Replaces MarginEdge $300/loc/mo.
The problem
MarginEdge charges $300 per location per month for invoice OCR + recipe costing, but the actual menu redesign — what to feature, what to 86, what to reprice — sits in the chef's head. Restaurants leave 4-7 points of food cost margin on the table every quarter.
What changes
Monthly cycle: agent pulls invoice prices + POS mix + plate cost → classifies each item as Star/Plowhorse/Puzzle/Dog → drafts a reprice plan + 3 menu redesign options with projected GP impact.
