Lookup & Forecast

Same concept, two different topics:
- Menu Item Usage: Understand exactly how much and how often you’ve served a particular item and how a change in cost, price, or menu frequency will impact participation and profitability.
- Meals per Labor Hour (MPLH): Instantly calculate planned MPLH by site or by district. See necessary targets for sales, labor hours, or both.

Slice and dice our reports by:
- Site(s)
- Meal periods

Let’s Clear the Air
We color outside the lines and don’t fit into the mold you might be used to.  Allow us to explain ourselves…
Point of Sale
We are not a Point of Sale (POS) software…we will leave that work to our friends! POS software functions are integral to any operation, but also includes data we use for understanding the full scope of menu performance and program profitability. MenuLogic K12 works alongside your existing POS solution to capture information needed to aggregate, analyze, and action data with optimization top of mind. Â
Inventory Management
We do not provide inventory counting or tracking functions. MenuLogic K12 does provide insights to support decisions that can impact inventory usage and ordering projections, based on historical data. If the purpose of the inventory value your team is tracking is to understand Cost of Goods Sold (COGS), we provide you a link to reality with the detail to back it up: a clear understanding of what your COGS should have been.Â
Recipe Analysis
You don’t have to build a new ingredient and recipe database to use MenuLogic K12. We understand how long that process can take and the end result, no matter what existing software or method you choose, will likely look the same. We wanted to create the shortest path possible to the information you need. Our solution works alongside your existing recipe development tools to maximize impact and minimize hassle.
