Getting Started — Step by Step

1

Complete Your Setup

Enter your restaurant name, annual sales goal, and MOC target. The moment you enter your annual goal, all 12 monthly budgets calculate automatically — no manual month-by-month entry needed.

💡 Directional accuracy beats false precision. Start with a realistic number and refine it quarterly.

2

Set Your Seasonal Weights

The Monthly Revenue Distribution controls how your annual goal splits across the 12 months. Use "Typical Seasonal" as a starting point, then adjust for your concept. A summer-heavy beach bar looks very different from a holiday-heavy fine dining room.

💡 Weights must total 100%. The platform alerts you instantly if they don't.

3

Review Your Budget

Every month in the Budget tab shows an auto-calculated revenue figure and a full controllable expense breakdown down to MOC. You can override any individual month — a big event, a planned closure, a new daypart launch.

4

Enter Actuals Each Month

After each month closes, enter actual total revenue in the Actuals tab. Budget vs. actual variance calculates instantly on every line item all the way down to MOC. Green is favorable. Red means look closer.

5

Use the Dashboard to Lead

The Dashboard pulls everything together — annual MOC budget vs. actual, KPI cards, and a month-by-month bar chart. Check it weekly, not just monthly.

💡 Share the Dashboard with your GM. When everyone sees the same number, everyone pulls in the same direction.

Mobile View

Tap "Mobile View" in the top bar to switch to the read-only mobile companion. See your MOC and monthly results on the go — same login, same data, no data entry risk.

Export Your PDF Report

Use "Export PDF" at any time for owner reviews, investor updates, lender meetings, or monthly records. Branded with your restaurant name and the RH+ logo.

Key Terms

MOC Manager Operating Contribution — Revenue minus all controllable expenses. The most important number in this tool. It measures what your management team actually produces, independent of rent and debt.

Controllable Expenses your management team directly influences through daily decisions — food ordering, scheduling, supply usage. Rent, debt service, and depreciation are not controllable and are excluded by design.

Seasonal Weight Each month's share of annual revenue as a percentage. Adjusting these ensures your budget reflects real volume patterns — not a flat 8.3% per month that ignores your actual seasonality.

Variance The difference between budget and actual. On expense lines, spending less than budget is favorable. On MOC, more than budget is the goal.

Benchmark Industry-standard percentage targets used to calculate expected expense levels from your revenue. Pre-loaded from real-world restaurant data. Adjust to match your concept and market.

Common Pitfalls

Don't do this

Set a budget once in January and never look at it again. It only works if you review it monthly and adjust operations accordingly.

Do this instead

Schedule a monthly 30-minute budget review with your GM. Enter actuals, look at variances, identify the top 2–3 issues, set specific action items.

Don't do this

Use a flat equal split for every month. Seasonal variance is real — a January in Michigan is not a July in Miami.

Do this instead

Use prior year actuals as your baseline for each month's weight, then adjust for known changes — price increases, new daypart, renovation downtime.
