Damia Labs

Between the till and the books.

Damia Labs builds the back-office software your group actually runs on: the weekly production plan, each shop's stock day, food cost, and the journal entries your accountants ask for. Toast stays your source of sales. Restaurant365 stays your system of record. Nothing gets typed twice.

01

Plan the week.

Monday's production is drafted from four weeks of Toast sales, shop by shop, against your PARs. The production lead reads it, changes what the week needs, and approves it. The commissary order leaves as a file for Restaurant365.

Week of 2026-10-05, Monday bake, four of six items. Demo data. Wren & Rye is a fictional bakery-cafe group.

02

Count the day.

Each shop counts once, in the morning, against its PAR. Receipts, transfers between shops and donations are on the sheet, so the close is a count, not a guess. The calendar of events and closures sits beside it.

Close the books.

Transfers and donations become journal entries in Restaurant365's format, at recipe cost, with a GL account per item. Food cost, rostered labor and prime cost by shop and by period; an unsold-retail report for your accountant.

Reads Toast. Prepares entries for Restaurant365.

One real table.

Period 9, four weeks to 2026-09-27, four shops. Food cost is recipe cost; labor is rostered hours times a rate. Nothing here is an actual, and nothing here is a target. A comparison is a comparison.

05

How we work.

Five rules. They decide what we build and what we leave out.

  1. 01

    A person confirms every order. The software never sends one.

    The plan is a proposal until someone who knows the week signs it. Nothing leaves without a name on it.

  2. 02

    A cost is a price on a day.

    Recipe cost uses the price in force on the day the item was made, so a change in flour shows up where it happened.

  3. 03

    No budget in here. A comparison is a comparison, never a goal.

    Last period sits beside this one. Nobody is graded by the sheet.

  4. 04

    Nothing is defaulted. A recipe missing one price has no cost, not a lower one.

    A blank is a question, never a zero.

  5. 05

    If it adds a second place to type, it has failed.

    Toast stays your source of sales and Restaurant365 your system of record. We read one and prepare entries for the other.

06

Made for one group.

An engagement is one group, one week at a time, in your formats. This is how it runs.

  1. 01

    We learn your week.

    A working session with the person who plans the week and the person who closes the period. We leave with your items, your shops, your PARs and your calendar.

  2. 02

    We build to your formats.

    Your Toast export in, your commissary order and your journal entries out, in the shape Restaurant365 and your accountants already take.

  3. 03

    Your systems stay.

    Nothing is replaced. You run one week beside the old spreadsheet, then stop keeping the spreadsheet.

One location?

We build for single restaurants too. Same plan, same stock sheet, same food cost, sized for one kitchen. Tell us about your restaurant

Bring the week you have.

A working session is thirty minutes, with the people who plan and close. Bring last week's sheet; we will show you the same week in the software.
