TIER 01
VISIBILITY
"You'll finally know what's happening in your business — every single day."
$100 /wk · $400/mo
You save $40/month on the 6-month plan
Best for: Single-location restaurants, food trucks, or caterers who are flying blind and ready to change that.
  • Daily plain-English business snapshot — sales, delivery volume, anything that needs your attention
  • Delivery platform monitoring — we catch issues and alert you immediately with exactly what happened
  • Weekly performance summary — what happened, what to watch, what to do next
  • Monthly 30-minute strategy call — what the numbers mean and what to focus on
  • Direct team access — up to 5 questions/requests per month, 4-hour response
At this tier we are your eyes — not your hands. We watch, report, and coach. Most clients move to Control within 60–90 days once they see what's been happening.
TIER 02
CONTROL
"We handle the platforms. You handle the food."
$225 /wk · $900/mo
You save $90/month on the 6-month plan
Best for: Operators active on delivery platforms who suspect they're losing money and want someone to fix it.
  • Everything in Visibility, plus:
  • Active management of up to 3 delivery platforms — we log in, make changes, keep menus current and priced correctly
  • Issue resolution — disputes, account flags, suppressed listings, overcharges handled for you
  • POS support — menu updates, price changes, category management, time-based menus
  • Delivery pricing integrity — we make sure your prices protect your margins and show you the math
  • Bi-weekly 30-minute strategy calls
  • Direct team access — up to 10 requests/month, 4-hour response
This is where most clients start. Once your platforms are clean and your deposits start looking different — that's when Optimization starts to make sense.

"A fractional operations director embedded in your business — without the full-time salary."
$500 /wk · $2,000/mo

Best for: Multi-location operators, high-volume catering, franchises, or any operator doing $75K+/month who needs a partner — not just a service.
  • Everything in Optimization, plus:
  • Multi-location coordination — unified management, cross-site performance comparison, standardization
  • Full catering account management — proposals, corporate accounts, logistics, client follow-up
  • Vendor and supplier quarterly review — we flag when costs shift and identify renegotiation opportunities

How Does Profit Kitchen
Help With a New Restaurant Launch?

Most restaurants struggle because the systems, technology, and financial structure were not in place before opening. Profit Kitchen gets involved months before you open — from kitchen layout and equipment selection through your first 60 days of operation — so you launch profitable instead of catching up.

The launch package is structured in four phases that can be purchased individually or as a bundle. Each phase covers a specific window of your pre-launch timeline. Commit to Tier 2 or above for 6 months post-launch and Phase 4 is included at no additional charge.
