Better Restaurant Business
Economic Analysis for Restaurant Profitability.
**Knowing that your restaurant is profitable is not enough. BRB helps you understand how and why it generates profits, while also identifying opportunities for improvement. It tracks and compares results month-by-month across all levels. BRB simplifies initial setup and monthly updates through a semi-automated process, while preserving your autonomy. If you already use Excel for cost tracking, BRB can further streamline the transition and ongoing updates by connecting your spreadsheets.
Core Evaluation Areas
Better Restaurant Business provides the tools to process menu information by product and determine the economic indicators needed to support decisions that improve restaurant performance.
Variable Cost Structure
Contribution and Menu Performance
Management Center
Review the elements used to calculate menu item costs, including ingredients, yields, component groups, direct costs, and simplified cost methods.
See how each menu item contributes after variable costs, compare current and previous periods, and identify products that deserve attention.
Review sales activity, contribution, fixed costs, operating results, and indicators that help explain where the business is improving or losing strength.
System Approach
Management Evaluation Instead of Operational Complexity
Better Restaurant Business is designed to evaluate restaurant profitability without turning the process into inventory, payroll, accounting, or POS management.
The system focuses on the information that most affects management decisions: variable costs, contribution by menu item, fixed costs, sales activity, and operating results.
Without managing or controlling your restaurant operations, BRB uses the key information your business already generates and organizes it into a structured evaluation of costs, sales, contribution, and operating results—making profitability analysis simpler while keeping management decisions entirely in your hands.
Better Restaurant Business is currently available as a controlled demo free using representative restaurant data. No menu or business information from your restaurant is required. Simply create an account with your email, confirm it, and explore how BRB works and the results it provides using the sample data already included. If you wish, you can also add your own restaurant information by following the BRB Master Document available in the next tab. Your changes are saved for your next session.
How to Use the Demo
The Better Restaurant Business Demo is designed to provide an interactive experience using sample restaurant data. Rather than simply viewing the system, users can modify key information—such as selling prices, sales volumes, ingredient costs, yields, fixed expenses, and personnel costs—and immediately observe how those changes affect product costs, contribution, pricing, and overall restaurant profitability. The objective is to demonstrate how different operating and pricing decisions influence financial results, allowing users to explore scenarios and understand how Better Restaurant Business can support better-informed management decisions.
Where to make changes:
- Menu Items / Dishes: adjust selling prices and sales volume.
- Ingredients: adjust ingredient purchase prices and units.
- Recipes: review ingredient composition by product.
- Yields: adjust yield assumptions.
- Fixed Costs: modify monthly fixed costs.
- Personnel: modify labor costs.
Where to review results:
- Variable Costs: review product cost and contribution structure.
- Contribution: compare contribution by menu item.
- Strategic Pricing: evaluate pricing scenarios.
- Management Center: review monthly sales, contribution, fixed costs, operating result, and margin.
Upcoming Commercial Availability
BRB is entering its final testing and validation stage with real restaurant operations. Before its broader commercial launch, a limited number of interested restaurants will have the opportunity to use the complete BRB system with their own restaurant information.
Selected restaurants will receive their own fully operational BRB account with one full year of access at no cost. Each account will be created directly by Better Restaurant Business for the participating restaurant, allowing it to set up its own menu, costs, sales, and operating information and evaluate BRB under actual restaurant conditions.
In return, participating restaurants will be asked to use BRB in their operation and provide feedback about its usefulness, results, problems encountered, corrections needed, and suggestions that can help us improve the system.
BRB does not take control of your restaurant. You remain fully responsible for your information, operation, and business decisions throughout the evaluation period.
Participating restaurants may also be invited to share their experience with BRB for future promotional purposes. A restaurant's name, experience, or information will never be used for promotional purposes without its prior authorization.
ONE FULL YEAR · NO COST · REAL RESTAURANT USE · PERSONALIZED SUPPORT
Interested in participating? Please go to the "Contact" section of this website and send us your request. Tell us briefly about your restaurant, why you are interested in BRB, and what you would like the system to help you evaluate or improve. We will personally review the initial requests, and selected restaurants will be contacted directly to create and activate their one-year BRB account.
No commercial access link is currently available because BRB is not yet being offered for general sale. Following this testing and validation stage, broader commercial availability will be announced.
