The problem

Most independents are flying blind on margin.

Great food doesn't pay the bills — disciplined numbers do. We bring the operating cadence of a multi-unit group to single-location owners.

Industry experience powering every recommendation we make

Your restaurant is losing money right now. You just don't know where yet.

That's exactly the problem I solve. Foodi brings 18 years of operational experience and real-time data directly to your bottom line — every single week.

How it works

Five steps. Zero fluff.

01

Discovery

Free 30-minute call. We walk your P&L, your menu and your pain. You get a custom proposal in 48 hours — no template decks.

02

Setup

Craftable installed, POS integrated, recipes batch-costed, vendors mapped. We do the heavy lift so your team keeps cooking.

03

First inventory

We run the first count beside your team and set the baseline. Day one, you have a real food cost number — not an estimate.

04

Weekly ops

Weekly budget tracker, variance & waste review, vendor price monitoring. Marco in your inbox every week — not once a quarter.

05

Quarterly reviews

Deep-dive on menu mix, labor model and contribution margin. Re-engineer the plan, then back to the line.

What you get

Done for you. Not advice.

We run Craftable for you. You don't touch a spreadsheet — you read the number, make the call, and get back on the line.

The founder

Marco Coleman.
18+ years in the weeds.

Former Executive Chef and Director of Operations — Marco didn't read about restaurants, he built his career inside them. Dishwasher, line cook, sous, chef, GM, multi-unit operator: every role, every shift, every Saturday night rush. For the last 10 years he's operated with Craftable, turning the software into a sharpened tool — not a theory deck.

"Owners don't need another dashboard. They need someone who's been on the line at 7:42pm on a Saturday telling them which decision actually moves the P&L."
— Marco Coleman, Founder
