What restaurant operators need from live profit reporting

Live profit reporting should help operators act faster, not just produce cleaner reports after the fact.

Most finance reporting tells restaurants what happened after the useful window to respond has already passed.

Operators need live views on sales, costs, margin movement, and channel mix so they can act during the trading period, not after month end.

That is why live profit reporting should sit close to operations and supply, not far away in a separate stack.
