01 · The cost model
Cost is the spine. Service is the live layer.
The economic chain stays intact. Its source records sit beside the operating day, so a team can move between cost evidence and live work without inventing an automated alert.

Price, then act
Compute margin only from a real price and complete cost; route gaps and risk to the operator who can resolve them.

Keep the day connected
Record purchases, prep, sales, labour, floor evidence, and month-close in the same store workspace.
What makes it Mezbano
A number you can trace, not trust on faith.
Every percentage keeps its source, effective date, winning rule, complete recipe, and real store price attached. If the chain is incomplete, Mezbano says so before it shows a margin. Shift and Close are the adjacent operating records; they are not automatic cost alerts. Illustrative values · your workspace uses your own records

03 · Start a conversation
Test the system against one real plate.
Bring a recipe, a recent ingredient cost, and the menu price. We will trace the decision through Mezbano, then show how it connects to the store’s daily work and close.
Who is Mezbano built for?
Independent restaurants, growing multi-store operators, and franchise brands that need reliable food-cost decisions connected to the work each store records.
Can we start with one store and expand later?
Yes. Start with a single location today; when you are ready to add stores, our team provisions them with you on the Franchise plan.
Do you support demos before rollout?
Yes. Bring one menu item, the way you cost it today, and the store workflow around it. We will show where Mezbano fits and where it deliberately leaves control with your team.
