How to Use RH+ MOC Planner
A practical field guide for restaurant owners and operators.
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.

💡 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 for events, closures, or known changes.

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.

5

Use the Dashboard to Lead

The Dashboard pulls everything together. Check it weekly, not just monthly.

💡 Share the Dashboard with your GM. When everyone sees the same number, everyone pulls in the same direction.
6

Mobile View

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

7

Export Your PDF Report

Use "Export PDF" at any time for owner reviews, investor updates, lender meetings, or monthly records.

Key Terms
MOCManager Operating Contribution — Revenue minus all controllable expenses. The most important number in this tool.
ControllableExpenses your management team directly influences — food ordering, scheduling, supply usage. Rent and debt are excluded by design.
Seasonal WeightEach month's share of annual revenue as a percentage. Ensures your budget reflects real volume patterns, not a flat 8.3% per month.
VarianceBudget vs. actual difference. On expense lines, spending less is favorable. On MOC, more than budget is the goal.
BenchmarkIndustry-standard percentage targets pre-loaded from real-world restaurant data. Adjust to match your concept and market.
