FAST CASUAL RESTAURANTS
By the time your team finds the variance, the week is already closed.
Fast casual runs on volume, speed, and tight margins — which means inventory errors don't stay small for long. When counts are manual, invoices are delayed, and weight variances go untracked, your GMs are solving last week's problems with this week's numbers. Craftable gives fast casual operators live inventory visibility, accurate variable-weight tracking, and reporting tools that catch cost issues the day they happen — not after the P&L is already locked.

INVENTORY MANAGEMENT
Count it right, in real time.
Manual counts on clipboards and fixed-weight assumptions might get you through the week — but they won't tell you where your chicken went. Craftable replaces pen-and-paper workflows with fast, digital shelf-to-sheet counts that actually reflect how fast casual kitchens work, including accurate conversions for proteins tracked by weight and count.
- Digital inventory counts on mobile — faster and more accurate than paper
- Track variable-weight proteins with flexible, real-world conversions
- Get live visibility into what's moving in and out of every location
- Fewer surprises at week close because issues surface the same day
COST VISIBILITY
See it now. Fix it today.
In fast casual, a cost problem that goes undetected for a week is a cost problem that's already in your P&L. Craftable gives operators live actual vs. theoretical reporting so variances are visible the moment they happen — not after the period closes and the damage is done.
- Spot cost variances by category, location, and time period in real time
- Compare actual usage against theoretical to find exactly where margin is leaking
- Catch invoice discrepancies and weight variances before they compound
- Sync with your POS for reporting that reflects what actually happened, not what the system assumed
GM DEVELOPMENT & REPORTING
Coach the team. Don't just catch mistakes.
Fast casual lives and dies on GM execution — and most reporting tools are built to catch problems, not develop operators. Craftable's reporting is designed to show your managers the why behind a variance, so they learn how to run a tighter operation instead of just getting corrected by corporate.
- Week-over-week comparisons that show GMs how their decisions affect cost
- Category-level visibility that makes coaching conversations specific, not vague
- Audit reports that guide operators to the issue instead of just flagging it
- A shared operational language that builds consistency across every franchise location
Case study
"The reporting lets us guide managers to the issue instead of just telling them the answer. They learn faster, and they actually understand what went wrong."
