  • Go from sign-up to your first recommendations in under 15 minutes
The Problem

Does This Sound Familiar?

Pricing Is Guesswork

Every pricing decision is a gut call. Without real data, you're guessing — and guessing leaves money on the table.

Fear of Customer Backlash

Without knowing which changes are safe, most owners do nothing — and quietly absorb the loss instead.

Slow to Change, Hard to Track

Tracking costs, comparing competitors, and managing spreadsheets pulls you away from actually running the business.

"For the first time I actually knew which items were hurting us and which ones had room to grow. We raised three prices, kept everything else the same, and didn’t lose a single regular customer. The report basically paid for itself in the first month."

Maria T. Taqueria owner, Austin TX

"I was shocked at how far off our prices were from competitors two blocks away. Some items we were overcharging, others we were leaving money on the table. We adjusted eight items based on the report — margins went up almost 11% in the next billing cycle without touching the menu again."

David K. Sandwich shop, Denver CO

"Connecting Square took five minutes and I didn't have to touch a spreadsheet. I had my first report before lunch and knew exactly what to change and why. I've run two more audits since and each one has found something I was missing."

FAQ

Common Questions

What if I don't use Square?

We currently integrate with Square. If you use a different POS — Toast, Clover, Lightspeed, or others — reach out through the contact page. We're actively building additional integrations and will let you know as soon as yours is available. You can also explore the full product through our interactive demo using sample data right now.

How often should I run a new audit?

Most operators benefit from running a new audit every 3–6 months, or whenever ingredient costs shift significantly, a new competitor opens nearby, or you're planning a menu update. Since you pay per audit with no subscription, you're in full control of the cadence — run one whenever it makes sense for your business.

Can I use Markupmanager for multiple locations?

Yes. Each location connects as its own account with its own sales history, local competitor landscape, and price recommendations. The competitor data and demand patterns are pulled based on each location's address, so every report is specific to that site. Get in touch if you're managing multiple locations and we'll help you get set up.

What if my menu changes frequently or seasonally?

Markupmanager handles changing menus well. New items are picked up automatically when your POS syncs, and you can run a fresh audit any time your menu or cost structure changes. Each audit reflects current conditions — updated competitor pricing, real demand, and your latest sales data — so you're never working from stale recommendations.

What if I disagree with a recommendation?

You're always in control. Every recommendation is a suggestion — you decide what to apply, when, and by how much. The Forecast tool is built specifically for this: enter any price you're considering and see how it plays out in profit, revenue, and volume before committing. You can validate your own instincts against the data rather than just following ours.

Is my business data secure?

Yes. We connect to Square using their official OAuth integration — we never see your login credentials or store payment information. Your sales data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and is used only to generate your pricing recommendations. We don't sell or share your data with third parties.
