Overview
An operational system for organizing restaurant sales, expenses, inventory-related records, invoices, and management reporting.
Business context
A restaurant needed clearer visibility into sales, expenses, invoices, and monthly performance without relying on scattered files.
Problem
Operational records were fragmented, making it difficult for management to review sales, expenses, and invoices in a consistent monthly rhythm.
Constraints
- Staff needed a simple daily capture workflow
- Reporting had to support monthly management reviews
- Existing informal processes could not be disrupted overnight
Solution
Designed an operations-focused ERP module covering sales capture, expense tracking, invoice organization, and management dashboards.
Before / after workflow

Daily restaurant operations and category reporting depended on fragmented capture and manual monthly summaries.
After
Structured capture feeds an operations database and management dashboard so owners can review categories without rebuilding reports by hand.
