Why we built these
Every playbook in this library came out of a real audit on a real restaurant. The calculators use the same math we run inside Marty. The chapters are the routines we install for our customers.
If you want the routines run for you (instead of by you), Marty does that, starting with a Cash Recovery Plan pilot, with plan fees refunded in full if it finds nothing worth fixing. Owners on Marty typically recover $5K to $15K per month across the full operation.
