Built for the way you actually run a shift.

Not for an analytics team you don't have. Not for a CFO you can't afford. For the person who reads the P&L on their phone, between a delivery and a catering call.

I.
The Pass
See the line, from anywhere.

Live sales, labor, and table turns from every location. The same view you'd get standing at the pass — minus the standing. Refreshes every minute, even while service is on.
- Sales, covers, ticket times — by hour
- Labor % vs. plan, by location
- Open shifts, no-shows, late clock-ins
II.
The Brief
Tells you what to do next.

Sous reads your numbers and surfaces the calls that matter. "Cut a server, you're 4 points over labor." "Catering didn't post — check your books." Decisions, not dashboards.
- Pre-shift brief, before doors open
- Mid-service nudges when a metric moves
- End-of-day digest, in plain English
III.
The Ledger
P&L, prime cost, cash — in one tab.

Food cost % vs. category average. Prime cost vs. last week. Bank balance vs. upcoming payroll. The numbers a CFO would tell you to watch — without hiring one.
- Prior-period comparison, every metric
- Per-location P&L from your books
- Bank, A/P, A/R against payroll runway
IV.
The Line
Ask anything. In plain English.

"Why was last Tuesday slow?" "Which server's getting the best tips?" "Did catering hit our food cost?" Sous knows your shop. It pulls from your data and answers in five seconds.
- Multi-location, multi-week, on-the-fly
- Reads from your POS, schedule, and books — live
- Tenant-isolated — your data, your shop

From the founder

I used to spend Sunday mornings reconciling sales against payroll against the bank. Now I read Sous's brief, finish my coffee, and drive to the store.

A short note from the kitchen

A great restaurant is run by a great operator. Not a great spreadsheet.

Most software for our industry is built for the chains — the ones with analytics teams and franchise consultants. The independents get twelve dashboards, forty widgets, and a five-figure subscription.

We built Sous for the rest of us. The owner-operators. The two-store GMs. The chefs who learned the books because they had to. It's small, it's fast, and it tells you what to do next.
