A flash P&L per store, every week
Sales, food, labor and prime on a Monday-to-Sunday fiscal week — on your phone before the next week starts. Costs land in the week they belong to, not the week the bill got paid.
The automated bookkeeper for QSR & fast-casual restaurants
Sales, payouts, invoices and payroll reconciled to the cent; a flash P&L for every store, every week; and a plain answer to why the number moved. No spreadsheet in the loop.

| Northgate | $34,115 | 29.6 | 24.8 | 54.4 |
| Cascade | $29,870 | 29.1 | 27.8 | 56.9 |
| Meridian | $26,185 | 30.4 | 25.1 | 55.5 |
How it works
Set up in an afternoon. Nothing to migrate, nothing to re-key — rux reads the systems you already have and keeps reading.
Your POS, delivery platforms, banks and payroll — read-only. Invoices arrive by email and EDI, or by a photo of the paper.
Every payout to its deposit, every invoice to its payment, every payroll to the debit. Whatever doesn't match to the cent goes on a short exception list — not under the rug.
Food, labor and prime against your targets, with the reasons attached — and every figure drillable to the record it came from.
What rux does
Built to lower food and labor cost — by doing the bookkeeping an operator never has time for, and surfacing only what needs a human.
Sales, food, labor and prime on a Monday-to-Sunday fiscal week — on your phone before the next week starts. Costs land in the week they belong to, not the week the bill got paid.
Uber Eats, DoorDash and Grubhub at their true cost — commission, fees, promo co-funding and refunds against your menu markup — so you know what a delivery order actually contributes, per item and per channel.
Invoices arrive by email and EDI and post within tolerances. A human sees only the exceptions: a new vendor, a price jump, a quantity that looks wrong.
Expected payout vs. actual deposit, every platform, every day. A deposit either matches exactly or it lands on the exception list — nothing gets absorbed into “miscellaneous.”
Plenty of restaurant bills still get paid by hand-written check. Photograph it, attribute it once, and the register reconciles against the bank like everything else.
Every invoice line is a price observation. Increases flagged the moment they appear, vendors compared on a normalized unit cost, and the recipes they hit named — with the monthly impact in dollars.
Why rux is different
Every figure drills to its source. Estimates say “estimate.” When rux doesn't know, it says so — that honesty is the product.
Every number, traceable to the document it came from.
Most tools report on data you still have to reconcile somewhere else. rux is the ledger: accrual books kept automatically, accountant-ready at year end.
Sales, purchases, payroll, inventory and the P&L read the same records. A recipe change, a price increase or a promo shows up everywhere it should, once.
No AI ever invents a financial figure. Deterministic, tested code does the accounting; AI writes the plain-English “why” with references to the underlying records.
A payout, a payroll debit or an invoice payment either reconciles to the cent or it goes on the exception list. Never absorbed, never rounded away.
Thirteen four-week periods, Monday to Sunday. Weeks compare to weeks — never a 28-day February against a 31-day March.
What rux reconciles for its first operator, a four-store QSR group — the same books the founders run their own stores on.
A small number of QSR and fast-casual operators are being onboarded first — single locations and multi-unit groups alike. Tell us about your store or stores and what you run today.
