The problem

Most independents are flying blind on margin.

Great food doesn't pay the bills — disciplined numbers do. On an $80k revenue month, a 3% margin is roughly $2,400 in profit. One bad inventory count erases it.

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

Build the foundations

Recipe specs, batch standards, par levels, ordering discipline. We coach your team to build the systems every profitable kitchen runs on — they do the work, you own the result.

03

Track it weekly

Your Business Health Tracker starts immediately. Food cost, labor, prime cost against target — in your inbox every Monday, from week one.

04

Analyze & advise

We turn your numbers into decisions. Weekly variance review, vendor price checks, and a clear read on what needs your attention this week.

05

Scale into Craftable

Once your team has the fundamentals down, we bring in Craftable to make tracking faster and sharper — and train your managers to run it themselves.

What you get

Your team runs the day-to-day.
We run the analysis.

Foodi is not another dashboard subscription. We build the systems your operation runs on, then we sit beside you in the data — turning numbers into the next decision.

The founder

Marco Coleman.
18+ years in the weeds.

Founder & Lead Consultant

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 & Lead Consultant
