Most cloud kitchens are decided on optimism, then lose money on commission and food cost. Enter six
numbers and see the simplified operating surplus and payback before you commit. Confidential.
01
Operating surplus per month (simplified)
What is left after food cost, aggregator commission and one fixed line — before packaging, payment fees, promotions, refunds and ramp.
02
Your operating surplus margin
A simplified read — food, commission and one fixed line — of whether the model is healthy or too thin to survive, before you commit capital.
03
Payback period
How long the setup investment takes to come back, at your own run-rate.
What a launch inherits
We don't trade on logos. We show you the numbers.
One named, documented engagement — published with the client's consent — then the method we
hold every engagement to. Other outcomes stay confidential until we walk you through them.
For a launch, this is the method you start with instead of retrofit: the same purchasing, portioning and menu-pricing controls that recovered fifteen points of food cost at Parco are installed from day one — so a new opening holds its margin from the first week of trading.

At Parco Group's Jebel Ali operation, food cost was running at 44% — margin lost on every cover. Over a 120-day reset, GGB rebuilt purchasing, portioning, menu pricing and waste control and brought food cost to 29%. With margin under control, the focus moved to the top line: across nine months, average daily sales rose from AED 6,000 to AED 14,000 — the same kitchen and team, under disciplined P&L control.
