Deductly — Real-time restaurant P&L. No more financial surprises.

The Problem

Independent restaurant owners work with fragmented data across Toast, bank feeds, payroll, and invoices—but don't see their actual prime cost, food cost variance, or labor percentage until month-end reports arrive. By then, margin leakage has already compounded for days or weeks. You're flying blind in a business where a bad food cost week can erase a week's profit.

What We're Building

Deductly automatically connects your Toast POS, bank accounts, payroll, and supplier invoices into a live P&L dashboard that updates continuously—not monthly. You see prime cost, food cost variance, and labor percentage in real-time, structured the way operators actually think. When something goes sideways, you spot it before the damage spreads. We handle the hard part: reconciling ACH settlement timing and VISA batches against daily POS revenue without phantom gaps.

Who It's For

Independent restaurant owners and multi-unit operators (50-500 seat locations) in fine dining, casual, and QSR segments. Decision makers: owner-operators and general managers managing $500k–$5M annual revenue who actively monitor P&L and margins.

Key Features (Planned)

Live P&L dashboard updating continuously from Toast POS, bank feeds, payroll, and supplier invoices
Automatic ACH/VISA settlement reconciliation—no phantom gaps in revenue recognition
Prime cost, food cost variance, and labor percentage metrics structured for operator decision-making
AI-powered alerts when variance spikes (e.g., food cost suddenly 2% above baseline this week)
Marketing ROI attribution—see if your spend increases are actually working

We're validating this idea before writing a single line of code. If this resonates with you, we'd love your feedback:

For restaurant owners here: if you could see your prime cost, food cost variance, and labor % update daily instead of waiting for month-end reports, how would that change the way you run your business?
