Stop your restaurant from leaking profit.
Rising food and labor costs quietly bleed your profit for weeks — and the P&L lands too late to do anything about it. Prime55 flags it the same night, from one quick text, so you fix it while the money's still on the table.
Food 27.9% · Labor 25.9% — under your 55% target. A profitable night. 🎯
Three texts. Zero spreadsheets.
No app to open, no dashboard to log into at 11pm. If you can send a text, you can run Prime55.
Text it in
At close, send three numbers — sales, food, labor. Twenty seconds from your phone. You or whoever locks up.
“Sales 8420 food 2350 labor 2180”
See what you kept
Instantly know what the night actually earned you — no spreadsheet, no three-week wait for the bookkeeper.
“Logged ✅ Prime cost 53.8% — a profitable night.”
Keep more next shift
The moment a night eats into profit, Prime55 texts you — so you fix scheduling or portions before it becomes a bad month.
“⚠️ 60.6% today — ~$340 gone. Reply WHY.”
Built to make you money — not busywork.
Every feature points at one thing: more of your sales staying in your pocket, with no extra work on the floor.
So easy it actually happens
It all runs over text — no app, no passwords, no training. The numbers get logged every night, by whoever locks up.
Know your profit at close
The instant your text lands, you see exactly what the night cost you — prime cost, food %, labor %. No math, no spreadsheet.
Caught before it costs you
Set your target. The night you blow past it, Prime55 texts you — so one rough shift never quietly turns into a rough month.
See where your money goes
Every text becomes a clear picture of your margins — trends, daily logs, summaries — for you and your accountant.
Walk in already knowing
A plain-English recap every Monday — where your money went, your best and worst nights, and where the trend's heading.
Spot the location bleeding cash
Each spot texts its own line. See them side by side and fix the outlier before it drags the whole group down.
If your margin lives or dies on food and labor, Prime55 is for you.
Full-service, QSR, breweries, cafés, food trucks, multi-unit groups — if you buy food and pay labor, Prime55 works for you.
Full-service & casual
White-tablecloth or neighborhood favorite — your margin lives in food and labor.
QSR & fast-casual
High volume, thin tickets — every labor hour and food point moves the number.
Breweries & bars
Pour cost and bar labor swing fast. Nightly numbers keep both honest.
Multi-unit groups
Compare three or thirty locations and catch the outlier before it spreads.

of every sales dollar goes to food & labor — your biggest controllable cost
Prime55 flags a costly shift while you can still fix it
Three ways restaurants quietly lose money.
None of them show up until the P&L lands — weeks too late to do anything about it.
Finding out three weeks late
By the time the P&L shows labor blew out, those shifts are long gone. Prime55 flags it at close — while you can still fix the schedule.
The spreadsheet nobody keeps up
Manual tracking dies after one busy week. A 20-second text doesn't — so the numbers actually get logged every night, by whoever locks up.
Flying blind between P&Ls
Most owners see prime cost once a month. Prime55 turns it into a number you watch nightly — so small leaks never become big ones.
Spreadsheets get abandoned. Accounting software arrives late.
Prime55 sits in the one place you'll actually use it every night — your text messages.
| Spreadsheet | Accounting software | Prime55 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Time to log a night | 5–10 min | Synced next day | ~20 seconds |
| Works after close, from your pocket | Rarely | Clunky | Yes |
| Same-night prime cost | Manual | Lags days | Instant |
| Alerts when you pass 55% | No | No | Texted to you |
| Training a new manager | Hours | Days | “Just text it” |
| POS integration required | — | Usually | Never |
