About The Cafe Owner's Complete Business Kit
Busy every day but the money doesn't add up? It's usually food cost creeping up, a roster that's too heavy, menu items that don't pay their way and catering enquiries that never get a reply. This is the money, admin and marketing side of a cafe in one download, with editions for Australia, New Zealand, the UK, the US and Canada.
What's inside
- Cafe & Money Tracker: daily takings, staff and wages, menu profit, recipes, ingredients, waste log, catering and functions, invoices, expenses and a cash forecast, in Excel or Google Sheets
- Dashboard: your food & drink cost, wages and prime cost for the last 4 full weeks, coloured against your targets, plus today's to-do list
- Menu Profit: every item sorted into Stars, Plowhorses, Puzzles and Dogs, with the price that hits your food cost target
- 9 templates for your country: catering quote, two invoices, catering and function terms, a food safety daily log, opening and closing checklist, order sheet and stocktake, an allergen chart and 30 ready-to-send messages
- 3 web tools: Recipe Cost & Menu Price Calculator, Break-Even & Prime Cost Calculator, and a Catering Quote Builder for your website
- The Cafe Owner's AI Toolkit: 45+ fill-in-the-blank prompts for free ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini
- The AI Business Engine (global edition): a free website, Google Business Profile, local search and a 90-day plan
- 13-page Start Here guide: one-hour setup, menu engineering, a catering system, delivery apps and the rules for your country
Why it's different
- No monthly fee: recipe costing and back-office apps cost US$19 to US$249 a month, every month. This is one price, once
- Built for your country: GST, VAT, GST/HST or sales tax; your food safety temperatures and allergen list; your pay rules
- It shows the numbers that matter: food cost, wages and prime cost from the last 4 full weeks
- It turns catering into a system: enquiry, quote, deposit, final numbers and a review request
Good to know
- Works with Word and Excel, or free Google Docs and Google Sheets. The tools open in any browser
- The AI Toolkit was written in Australia; the country companion makes it work anywhere. The AI Business Engine is a global edition
- General information, not legal, tax, food safety or financial advice. Rules checked in October 2026
