Clarified Restaurant Management

Cook off
the clutter.

Ghee runs the whole back office in one place your team uses during the shift: checklists, counts, prep, ordering, receiving, costing, the schedule and your live numbers. Each part feeds the next, so the math and the paperwork get done as the work does, not after it. Built by a restaurant owner, on a real line, over years of service.

The problem

Clutter disguised as productivity

Every restaurant has tried to get organized. A new spreadsheet. A fresh round of laminates. Another app with another login. It works for a week, then the line gets busy and everyone goes back to what they know.

The tools weren't the problem. They just lived next to the work instead of inside it. A checklist on a clipboard doesn't know what's under par. An inventory spreadsheet doesn't know what the vendor charged last Tuesday. Your P&L shows up a month after the shift that caused it.

And whatever the tools miss lands on your manager. They're expected to be the buyer, the scheduler, the bookkeeper and the trainer, then run the shift on top of it. Set up that way, it's a job only someone senior and expensive can keep up with.

Ghee is built the other way around. The count your team does at close sets tomorrow's prep list. The order you place updates the cost of every dish that uses it. The numbers are there while there's still time to act on them.

How it works

Every part of the back office
feeds the next

In most restaurants the schedule, the budget, the counts and the orders are separate jobs in separate places, and your manager is the glue between them. In Ghee they're one system, so each piece of work sets up the next one instead of starting from a blank sheet. Here's one week, in Ghee's own screens, with a sample restaurant's numbers.

  1. Schedule

    Build the week against forecast sales and see its labor cost before you post. Ghee suggests where to trim.

  2. Food budget

    Posting splits your prime cost target, 65% by default, into labor and food. Every dollar trimmed from labor goes to the food budget.

  3. Counts

    The closing crew counts by shelf. What's out shows on the 86 Board; what's under par goes to tomorrow's prep list and the order list.

  4. Ordering

    Under-par items land on the order list by vendor. Ghee Capture records the order on the vendor's own site and checks it against the budget.

Then, in the same system

  • ReceivingThe delivery is checked against the order.
  • Menu costingNew prices flow into every dish that uses them.
  • Prime costCOGS and labor meet sales, live.
  • Every shiftChecklists, prep lists, recipes and shift reports, on the phones your team already has.

What it adds up to

Ghee gives your manager a job they can succeed at.

Ghee takes on the work that makes the job impossible: the budget math, the order list, the costing, the record of who did what. It's worked out from your own numbers, not from one person's memory and a late night with a spreadsheet. What's left is the part that needs a person: leading the team, running the shift and making the calls. That's what lets one strong person run the back office, instead of it needing a senior, expensive manager.

For the owner

A lighter, cheaper management layer

The numbers you want, while they still matter

Prime cost, labor and what's left of the food budget while the week is running, not on a P&L a month later.

One system, not a stack of tools

Checklists, counts, ordering, costing, the schedule, bank and payroll in one place, working from the same numbers, so nobody enters anything twice.

Proof the work got done

Checklists show who did what and when, with a photo on the steps where you require one.

Less riding on one hire

The budget math, the order list and the costing come out of the system, so you're not hiring for years of back-office experience to hold them together.

For your manager

The paperwork and guesswork, handled

No budget math

The week's food budget is set when the schedule is posted, and prime cost updates while the shift runs.

No guessing what to order

What's under par lands on the order list, by vendor, next to what's left of the budget.

No retyping orders

Ghee Capture records each order on the vendor's site, and new prices flow into every dish that uses them.

No chasing the close

The count flags what's running out on the 86 Board, and checklists show who's done what in real time.

The calls stay theirs. Your manager still decides who works, what to trim and what to order, and Ghee Capture saves nothing until someone taps Save. Ghee does the arithmetic and keeps the record, so a strong manager can step up without drowning in it.

The product

Two sides of the house.
One system.

Everything your manager is responsible for, in one place. Your team sees what they need to run the shift. Managers see what it's costing, as it happens. It's the same data, so nobody enters anything twice.

On the line

For your team

Checklists that prove themselves

Opening, line check, close. Steps can require a photo, and managers see who's done what in real time.

Counts that walk the shelves

Inventory is laid out in the order your walk-in and dry storage are, with a photo of what one unit looks like.

Prep list from real pars

Tonight's count sets tomorrow's prep. Each item links to its recipe and a photo of the finished product.

Receiving against the order

Check the truck against what was ordered, line by line, and flag what's short.

Recipes and handbook at the station

Your procedures on the phone in their pocket, searchable, and easy to flag when something's unclear.

Their schedule, on their phone

Everyone sees their shifts, sets their availability, asks for time off, and swaps, drops or picks up shifts without a group text.

PIN login on any phone

Nothing to install, no passwords to forget. Staff sign in with a quick PIN and see only their side.

In the office

For managers & owners

Prime cost while the shift is running

Sales and labor from your POS, food cost from your orders. See where the day is heading before it's over.

A schedule built against the forecast

Build the week against forecast sales and see its labor cost before you post it. Ghee flags double-booking, time off and overtime, suggests where to trim, and compares the schedule with who actually clocked in on your POS.

Menu costing that keeps up

Build each dish from its recipe. When a vendor's price changes, every plate that uses it updates, along with a suggested menu price.

One order list, sorted by vendor

What's under par, how much to order, and how to reach each vendor, next to your weekly COGS budget.

Bank and payroll, reconciled

Bank transactions and payroll runs come in on their own and are matched up, so the real numbers are always a tap away.

Shift reports and team reviews

End-of-shift notes, cash drop, and reviews tied to the procedure they're about, so feedback leads somewhere.

Ghee Capture

Track orders effortlessly.

Ghee Capture is a Chrome extension for the office computer. Your team keeps ordering on each vendor's own website, and Ghee records it as they go: what was ordered, what it cost, and what showed up.

Any vendor with a website

Ready to go on Sysco, US Foods and Gordon Food Service. For everyone else, from the fish market to the local produce house, add their site and show Ghee the page once: point at the item, the quantity and the price. It reads every page like it from then on.

Your order list, on their site

What's under par for that vendor sits beside their site, in whole cases, with a button straight to each item.

Orders and deliveries, logged

The confirmation page becomes a purchase order and the invoice becomes the receiving check. Nothing saves until someone taps Save.

Prices that stay current

When a vendor's price changes, Capture catches it, and every dish that uses the item updates.

Watch the Ghee Capture walkthrough

About eight minutes, on sample vendor sites. Ghee Capture writes only to your own Ghee, and nothing saves until someone taps Save.

Accounting

Clean weekly numbers, ready for your bookkeeper.

Through years of working at, managing, and eventually owning Remedy House, I was always looking for ways to improve how we worked. We built spreadsheet after spreadsheet. We printed laminate after laminate. We tried app after app.

It always ended the same way. Nothing stuck, because none of it was part of the work actually getting done. It was clutter disguised as productivity.

I needed a tool that became part of the work itself, and that kept everything in one place. After years of iterations, that tool is Ghee. It clarifies every part of our operation, and now it can do the same for yours.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is Ghee for?

Independent restaurants with one location or a few, run by people who want their systems to keep up as they grow. If you've ever rebuilt the same inventory spreadsheet twice, it's for you.

Do I need Toast?

Toast is connected today. If you're on another POS, apply anyway. Founding restaurants help decide which integrations we build next, and the kitchen side of Ghee works with any POS.

What data do you need from me to start?

Whatever you already have. Your latest spreadsheet is plenty, in whatever shape it's in. Our team does the processing, comes back to you with any questions, and gets you connected to your POS quickly. There's nothing to set up yourself and no bank or payroll logins for the walkthrough. Those come later, when you're ready to move your team onto Ghee.

Do I still need a scheduling app?

No. Scheduling is part of Ghee from day one. Build the week against your sales forecast, post it, and your team sees it on their phones, with availability, time off and shift swaps in the same place. With Toast connected, it also shows who's clocked in against who's scheduled.

How much does it cost?

Founding restaurants pay $149 per location per month, locked in for as long as you're with us. The founding price is for our first five restaurants.

Does my team need to download an app?

Not today. Ghee runs in the browser on the phones your team already has. Add it to the home screen and it works like an app, with a PIN to sign in. An app-store version is on the way.
