The problem

Most independents are flying blind on margin.

Great food doesn't pay the bills — disciplined numbers do. On an $80k revenue month, a 3% margin is roughly $2,400 in profit. One bad inventory count erases it.

Industry experience powering every recommendation we make.

Your restaurant is losing money right now. You just don't know where yet.

That's exactly the problem I solve. Foodi brings 18 years of operational experience and real-time data directly to your bottom line — every single week.

The founder

Marco Coleman.
18+ years in the weeds.

Founder & Lead Consultant

Former Executive Chef and Director of Operations — Marco didn't read about restaurants, he built his career inside them. Dishwasher, line cook, sous, chef, GM, multi-unit operator: every role, every shift, every Saturday night rush. For the last 10 years he's operated with Craftable, turning the software into a sharpened tool — not a theory deck.

"Owners don't need another dashboard. They need someone who's been on the line at 7:42pm on a Saturday telling them which decision actually moves the P&L."
— Marco Coleman, Founder & Lead Consultant
