Finance

Financial overview: revenues, costs and margin in one place and in real time — instead of a spreadsheet maintained on the side and closed after the tenth.

Problem

Product prices change faster than the menu, and losses rarely end up in one report. The owner knows how much came in, but doesn't know how much is left: costs lie in invoices, labor cost in the schedule, and margin on a menu item in nobody's head. The answer comes after the tenth of the next month, which is when there's nothing you can do with it anymore.

What we do

We gather revenue, costs and margin into one overview and show them in real time, not at the end of the period.

• Sales, expenses and labor cost in one place and in the same time unit
• Margin calculated where it can be counted: on menu item, on service, on the day
• Cost change visible when it happens, not in settlement

What's included

Three elements; the second is most often missing from reports that companies do themselves:

• Connecting sources: sales, expenses and labor cost
• Menu intelligence: what actually earns, and what just sells well
• Real-time overview instead of month-end close

Timeline

The module doesn't run separately — it activates with the AURA level. The deadline is set by how fast your expense sources can be connected: sales usually come in right away, invoices and labor cost depend on what you use to track them today. We show the overview from the first connected source and tell you what's still missing from it.

Cost

This screen gathers numbers from all the rest — placed beside them, on its own, it would show empty tables. You pay for the system in the venue, with one bill, and the same goes for every other module. The size depends on how many sources have to be stitched into a single number: the till, suppliers, stock, payroll.

Financial overview and menu intelligence are already at the SEE level — it's part of the entry scope where AURA sees the venue and shows what's happening in it.

What you get

Answer to the question "how much of this is left" during the month, not after it. You can see items that sell well but don't earn, and costs that grew quietly. This doesn't replace accounting — it's meant to help make decisions about prices and menu with data, not gut feeling.
