Financial intelligence for food businesses

Know what came in. Know where it went. Know what to do next.

Sofrito brings the money behind your food business together — sales, food purchases, labor, online ordering, expenses, and operating context — so you can understand what happened without digging through every system or carrying every answer yourself.

One financial story

Your money is spread across the business. The answer should not be.

Your POS records sales. Delivery platforms process orders. Payroll tracks labor. Vendors send invoices. Your bank receives deposits. Your accountant closes the books.

Sofrito brings those signals into one financial story and explains what they mean together.

Sofrito turns them into

What happened
What changed
What matters
What to do
What happened afterward

Sofrito works with records, statements, reports, and exports from the systems your business already uses. Live integrations are added only where they are actually supported.

Built for the way owners really operate

Whether the answer is missing or living in your head, Sofrito makes it usable.

Find what you cannot explain

Sales looked strong, but cash ended thin. Sofrito helps trace the movement, separate what is verified from what is still unknown, and identify what deserves investigation.

Best for: operators who know the business is making money but cannot confidently explain where it went.

Watch what you already understand

You know the vendor ranges, portion standards, labor rhythm, and warning signs. Sofrito helps monitor those relationships so you do not have to personally discover every meaningful change.

Best for: capable operators whose financial understanding works because they personally watch everything.

Repeat what works

As managers, channels, and locations multiply, Sofrito helps preserve the operating model and show where performance is drifting from it.

Best for: operators preparing to expand without losing financial control.

What Sofrito understands

Everything affecting your money, understood together.

Sofrito is not another collection of disconnected restaurant modules. It helps answer the money questions that sit across them.

Sales and channels

What sold, where did it sell, and did more revenue actually improve the business?

See how sales moved across channels, what changed, and whether the economics moved with them.

Online ordering

What did marketplace sales actually produce?

Understand commissions, promotions, advertising, refunds, adjustments, and settlement differences without treating gross marketplace sales as money kept.

Food and purchasing

Did purchasing pressure change, and why?

See vendor-price movement and purchasing changes. Stronger food-cost language requires stronger evidence.

Labor

Did labor move with the business?

See whether labor changed with demand, where productivity shifted, and whether the current plan appears aligned.

Cash and expenses

What left the business, what is still expected, and what remains unexplained?

See uncategorized spending, settlement timing, conflicting records, and unresolved movement.

Vendors and locations

Where are prices, purchasing, and operating patterns drifting?

Compare suppliers or locations against the business's own operating model instead of generic averages.

Decisions and outcomes

What did we change, who owned it, and did it work?

Sofrito remembers the decision, the action, the follow-up evidence, and the measured outcome.

The first visceral proof

You sold it. What did you actually keep?

Gross sales can look strong while the economics underneath them get worse. Sofrito helps separate the sale from what it actually produced.

Supported inference

Marketplace revenue rose 11%, but the amount remaining before labor and overhead fell 4.2 percentage points. Pricing on several items appears to be absorbing too much of the additional revenue.

Your move

Review marketplace pricing on eight items whose current economics are below the business's target.

See how Sofrito reached this conclusion

Period comparison: the share remaining before labor and overhead moved from 48.4% to 44.2% of marketplace sales, a decline of 4.2 percentage points.

Supported food economics: an evidence-supported estimate of food inputs tied to the marketplace items shown. It does not establish the business's final result.

Review the source period, marketplace records, expected settlement, included costs, calculation, and the limits of what the current evidence can establish.

The product loop

Sofrito does not stop at the number.

Understand

Bring the relevant financial and operating evidence together.

Explain

Show what changed, what the records support, and what remains unknown.

Prioritize

Identify the one issue most deserving attention.

Act

Recommend a feasible move and place it with the right person.

Measure

Check whether the action happened and whether the number moved.

Remember

Preserve the decision, result, standard, and context.

The goal is not more reporting. It is a business that understands what happened, acts on what matters, and remembers what worked.

The command relationship

Open Sofrito and know whether anything needs you.

Understand the financial state of the business before you start digging through every system.

Now

Something needs a human.

A decision, clarification, blocked action, missing record, or outcome needs attention.

Waiting

The current state is understood.

Sofrito is waiting on an invoice, customer response, measurement window, execution, or settlement.

Proven

There is enough evidence.

A decision loop produced a measured result or a quiet period has been confirmed.

Quiet

Nothing needs your attention.

No manufactured urgency. No fake alert. Keep running the plan.

Growth and expansion

Make what works here work everywhere.

A capable owner often understands the business through observation, memory, and experience. That works until there are more managers, more channels, or another location.

Sofrito helps turn those operating truths into financial signals the business can monitor.

Recommended review

Portioning and waste during lunch service. Sales mix does not explain the difference.

Sofrito should not tell a skilled operator what they already know. It should help the business watch what that operator knows at scale.

Trust

Clear about what we know. Clear about what we do not.

Financial trust starts with being precise about the evidence.

Verified

Supported by received records and an inspectable calculation. A verified number does not automatically verify its cause.

Supported inference

Likely based on current evidence, not confirmed.

Unknown

Evidence is missing, conflicting, or insufficient.

  • Financial calculations are deterministic.
  • AI does not invent or override financial figures.
  • Material conclusions are human reviewed during Founding Access.
  • Important claims trace back to supporting evidence.
  • Missing evidence constrains the conclusion.
  • Customer access is narrowly scoped.
  • Decision history is preserved rather than silently rewritten.
  • Sofrito does not guarantee savings or profitability.

Questions, answered plainly

What owners usually ask first.

What is Sofrito?

Sofrito is the financial understanding layer for food businesses. It brings fragmented business records and operating context into one current financial story, shows what deserves attention, recommends the next move, and follows what happened afterward.

Is Sofrito accounting software?

No. Sofrito sits above the tools that record transactions. It does not replace bookkeeping, tax preparation, payroll, inventory tools, or your accountant.

What information does Sofrito need?

The exact intake is agreed during onboarding. It may include sales reports, marketplace statements, payroll summaries, invoices, expense records, settlement records, banking statements, and the operating context only your team can provide.

What if my records are incomplete?

Missing records limit the conclusion; they do not get filled with guesses. Sofrito names what is missing, what it blocks, and what can still be established.

How does Sofrito use AI?

AI may assist with organizing evidence and preparing explanations. Code performs financial calculations, and AI cannot invent or override those numbers. Material conclusions are human reviewed during Founding Access.

What is Founding Access?

Founding Access is how customers receive Sofrito today: a 90-day engagement combining purpose-built software with human financial review. It costs $149 per business or location each month for three payments, $447 total, with no automatic renewal.
