Data & Dough Co. · Restaurant consulting in Dallas–Fort Worth

Your menu is a spreadsheet. Let's read it.

We help independent restaurants keep more of every sale. We cost out your menu, fix your delivery app prices, set up your POS and give you a weekly report you can actually read. Then we stay until the numbers move.

An example ticket. Most owners never see this math for their own menu.

Most restaurants we meet don't have a sales problem. They have a margin problem they can't see, because the numbers live in five different apps and nobody has time to put them together.

That's our job. We put them together, then we fix what they show.

Where the money usually goes

Busy kitchen, thin profit. In our experience it's almost always one of these three.

Delivery commissions

If your app prices match your dine-in prices, the commission eats your profit. Some items lose money on every order.Fix: app pricing that covers the commission and packaging.

Food cost creep

Your supplier raises prices a little every month. Your menu prices stay the same. Nobody notices until the month closes.Fix: recipe costing and a price check every quarter.

Listings that don't sell

No photos, confusing add-ons, an old menu on Google. Hungry people scroll past and order from someone else.Fix: clean listings, real photos and a monthly check-up.
