Built for managers, not analysts

Find the money your restaurant is already losing.

Two minutes of end-of-day notes become specific recommendations, each with an estimated dollar impact and the math shown. Tested in a real restaurant.

Sample recommendation from a demo restaurant
Sample data from the demo restaurant. A Pinch recommendation card: Sunday and holiday bar and floor are over-scheduled. Labor ran 20 to 34 percent of sales against a typical 17 percent. Recommendation: schedule one bartender, one barback and one host on Sundays. The math is shown, with an estimated monthly impact of $1,866.

How it works

01

Log two minutes at close

Type what happened like a text to a co-manager. Connect Toast and the numbers fill in (other systems are in beta).

02

Pinch finds the patterns

It is built to report only what it can back with at least two separate days.

03

Adopt it or decline it

Each shows its math and an estimated monthly impact. You decide.

Beta means built, but not yet proven with a live restaurant account. Start with notes alone and connect later.

Your numbers, handled carefully

Read-only

Pinch reads your systems. It never changes orders, schedules, prices or settings.

Your data stays yours

You own what you enter and what Pinch pulls in. We never sell it.

Math you can check

Every recommendation shows how its number was worked out.
