Analytics & alerts
Live analytics across cost, sales and margin - plus alerts that tell you the moment a number crosses the line you set.
By the time a problem shows up in the P&L, it's already cost you.
Most venues only learn that margins slipped when the monthly numbers come in - long after the cause. The data to catch it early exists, but watching it constantly isn't a job anyone has. So small leaks - a creeping supplier price, a dish or drink drifting past target - run for weeks before anyone notices. You don't need more dashboards. You need to be told when something's wrong.
Reviewing in hindsight
- Margins reviewed monthly, after the fact
- Price creep goes unnoticed for weeks
- Someone has to watch dashboards all day
- Problems found after they've cost you

The trends that move your margin
Insights surfaces where money is made and lost across the venue - cost and margin over time, best and worst performers - and lets you drill from a trend straight down to the item behind it.
- Cost and margin trends over time
- Best and worst performers
- Drill from a trend to the item
A heads-up the moment a line is crossed
Set a threshold once - a cost %, a margin, a price movement - and Chefy watches it for you, alerting you the instant a dish or drink, category or venue breaches it. No dashboard-watching required.
- Thresholds per item, category or venue
- Alerts when cost % breaches your target
- Catch price creep before it spreads
From signal to fix
An alert is only useful if you can act on it. Jump straight from a breached threshold to the menu item behind it and reprice or re-engineer it on the spot - closing the loop in minutes, not months.
- Go from alert to the item in a click
- Reprice or re-engineer on the spot
- Close the loop before it hits the P&L
Know the day it starts, not the month it ends

Who it's for
Alerts do the watching, so margin gets protected without anyone glued to a dashboard.
Owners & operators
You protect margin by watching numbers you don't have time to watch.
Alerts do the watching - you only step in when something's actually wrong.
Venue managers
Problems are reviewed after the month closes, too late to fix.
Get told the day a number drifts, while you can still act on it.
Head chefs and bartenders
You can't tell which dishes and drinks are quietly slipping out of margin.
An alert points you straight at the dish or drink and the cause.
Multi-venue groups
Watching margin across every site is impossible by hand.
Set thresholds once and get alerted across every venue.
