Inside the guide

2 pages. No fluff.

Written for operators who run groups, not spreadsheets. A 4-minute read, between services.

1
The calendar gap that eats your margin — why a quarterly reviewer runs 7 to 16 weeks behind the price change
2
What live actually looks like: live food costing, live inventory, live COGS
3
Prices move on an invoice, usage settles at the count — and how to act between the two
4
How live works alongside your close — your reports still land, they’re just not the first time you find out

“We’re already 12 weeks behind when we could have caught it if it was live.”
