How it works

Connect. Reconcile. See profit.

Set up in an afternoon. Nothing to migrate, nothing to re-key — rux reads the systems you already have and keeps reading.

  1. 01 — Connect

    Link the logins you already have

    Your POS, delivery platforms, banks and payroll — read-only. Invoices arrive by email and EDI, or by a photo of the paper.

  2. 02 — Reconcile

    Every dollar matched, automatically

    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.

  3. 03 — See profit

    A flash P&L per store, every week

    Food, labor and prime against your targets, with the reasons attached — and every figure drillable to the record it came from.

What rux does

The unglamorous work, done automatically.

Built to lower food and labor cost — by doing the bookkeeping an operator never has time for, and surfacing only what needs a human.

Weekly flash

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.

Third-party delivery

Delivery economics, fully accounted

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 & COGS

Invoices post themselves

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.

Bank reconciliation

Reconciled to the cent

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.”

Paper checks

The checkbook counts too

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.

Vendor prices

Price moves, flagged

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

Nothing here is invented.

Every figure drills to its source. Estimates say “estimate.” When rux doesn't know, it says so — that honesty is the product.

FOOD 29.4%→ SAUCES→ MAYO · 4/1 GAL CASE→ INVOICE #20841 · LINE 3→ THE INVOICE ITSELF

Every number, traceable to the document it came from.

Dashboards show you a number. rux closes the books.

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.

One ledger, not six different systems.

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.

Math calculates. AI explains.

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.

$0.01
The matching tolerance

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.

13 × 4
The fiscal calendar

Thirteen four-week periods, Monday to Sunday. Weeks compare to weeks — never a 28-day February against a 31-day March.
