How it works

From the data you already have to the margin you’re already losing.

Three steps, then an ongoing layer that keeps working. Every screen below is the real product, running on a realistic sample restaurant.

Ordering platforms and marketing tools grow your sales. ROME finds the margin you’re already losing. They stack — we’re the intelligence layer on the data you already have.

1Export your POS data

The exports your point-of-sale already produces

Four CSVs your point-of-sale system already produces — sales, order lines, menu & costs, labor shifts. No new hardware, no new logins for staff, nothing to install. See the export guides →

2ROME runs your Profit Leak Audit

Every check, plate, and shift — analyzed

ROME plots every item by velocity and margin, finds the leaks, and shows the math behind each one. This is the real menu-engineering quadrant from the sample restaurant — stars, plowhorses, puzzles, and dogs, split at the medians.

3You get ranked fixes

A to-do list ordered by monthly dollar impact

The audit becomes a daily briefing: the handful of things worth your attention, each with the dollars at stake and a concrete first step — ranked so you always know what to do next.

The ongoing layer

It doesn’t stop at the audit.

The more regularly your data flows in, the sharper ROME gets — a live feed, not a one-time photo.

A 30-day revenue and covers forecast learned from your own history, with a right-staffing plan — so you schedule to demand instead of guessing.
