A monthly back office for owners who aren't in the store every day: reconciliation, master data, price movement, variance — and a weekly P&L you can read in three minutes.
Sales up 4.1%, contribution only +0.7%: the food cost rise took most of the gain.

The two documents every Run client gets: a weekly one-page P&L, and a month-close reconciliation per platform. Sample data.
In most restaurants the numbers are right only while one very good manager is there. When that person is on leave, busy on the floor or gone, recipe costs go stale and delivery payouts stop being checked. Run is that part of the job, done every week by people who have run restaurants in Dubai, so it doesn't depend on who you managed to hire this year.
The recipe master, price list and reconciliations live with us, not in one person's head or laptop.
A fixed monthly fee per store, quoted before we start. No recruitment, no visa, no notice period.
Sales recorded vs. commission deducted vs. amount deposited, per platform. Discrepancies raised with the platform on your behalf.
Recipes and ingredients added, corrected or retired, so food cost in the POS means something.
Purchase prices that changed against the previous month — before they quietly eat your margin.
Where the month deviated, in AED, and why. Plus a weekly one-page P&L the way a group operations director would want it.
| Commitment | Standard |
|---|---|
| Monthly report | Within 3 working days of month close |
| Response to a question | 1 business day |
| Error on our side | Corrected and re-issued within 2 working days, at no charge |
| Access | Read-only by default. We never write to your POS without written approval per change |
For groups and absent owners, Run can extend into a fractional operations role: weekly manager call, counting and closing discipline, hiring support, supplier negotiations, and the owner meeting pack each month.
You get the cadence of a multi-site operations director without the salary.
Most Run clients start with a Number Audit so month one begins from a clean baseline.
