The signal

Hi there — these are real restaurant books

Everything you're about to see is the live product running on Cedar & Oak, a sample restaurant with full double-entry books — food costs, payroll, vendor terms, the works. Click anything; it's all real.

One decision, not a dashboard

The cockpit opens on what needs deciding this week — stated plainly. For a restaurant that's usually prime cost creeping, a slow week forming, or a vendor bill worth renegotiating before it recurs.

Cash, stated plainly

Cash on hand is the cash balance — reconciled from the ledger nightly, not typed into a spreadsheet after close. Fridays stop being a surprise.

Trust the numbers

Where the revenue actually came from

For a restaurant this reads as revenue mix — dine-in, catering, private events — and which one actually carries the margin.

Open the 13-week cash forecast

Click Cash · 13 weeks.

Act on it

Thirteen weeks, built from the ledger

Thirteen weeks of cash, week by week: payroll cycles, rent, the slow season you already know is coming. This is the view that turns January from a scare into a plan.

The week that matters

The forecast names the low point rather than making you find it — the week to collect early or delay a payment.

Now run YOUR numbers

Same math this screen runs on Cedar & Oak — three inputs, no signup. (Catering and event invoices count as receivables.)

That's the core of it

Everything you just saw is running on Cedar & Oak's real books, and it stays open — keep clicking. There's a second half: the advanced modules go deeper into the ledger.
