ONE WORKSPACE. EVERYDAY CLARITY.

Less scattered.
More connected.

Running a restaurant means keeping dozens of details moving. Pinch brings your team, financial records and daily routines together, with a shared structure across every location.

THE TOOLS BEHIND A WELL-RUN RESTAURANT

More of your day.
In one place.

From staffing decisions to the closing checklist, keep the work connected and the records easy to find.

01 / PEOPLE

Scheduling & time off

Build and publish schedules, review availability through time-off requests and keep your team informed with in-app notifications.

  • Published shifts in the employee portal
  • Manager approval for time-off requests
  • Manual hours entry and biweekly totals
02 / SETTLEMENTS

Tip-outs & cashouts

Bring server submissions and daily cashout records into a consistent review process, so managers can see what was submitted and what needs attention.

  • Configurable tip-out percentages
  • Review and approve server submissions
  • Track weekly balances and carryovers
03 / FINANCIAL RECORDS

Bills, expenses & reports

Upload invoices and receipts, review scanned details and categorize costs. Use your recorded expenses and entered sales to review restaurant performance.

  • Food, labour, utilities and other costs
  • Receipt attachments and manual entry
  • Expense reporting and P&L views
04 / DAILY ROUTINES

Opening & closing checks

Give daily tasks a consistent structure. Keep front-of-house and back-of-house routines visible, with a clear view of completed and outstanding checks.

  • Daily checklists by restaurant
  • Opening and closing routines
  • Completion records for follow-up
05 / ACCOUNTABILITY

Audits & corrective actions

Record audit results with scores, comments and photos. Turn issues into actionable deficiencies and follow through with evidence of the correction.

  • Yes/no checks and audit scores
  • Comments and photos for findings
  • Deficiency tracking and closure proof
06 / STOCK CONTROL

Inventory, waste & ordering

Organize stock by storage area, count what is on hand and compare it with par levels. Record waste and use calculated order quantities to prepare supplier orders.

  • Area-based stock and par lists
  • Whole-number count and order quantities
  • Separate price controls for administrators

A FEW THINGS TO KNOW

Good questions.
Clear answers.

Have something else in mind?
Let’s talk

Can I manage more than one restaurant?

Yes. Owners can review their restaurant group, while managers work with the locations assigned to them.

What can my employees access?

Employees have a dedicated portal for published schedules, time-off requests, personal tip-outs and notifications.

Does Pinch replace my POS?

Pinch supports restaurant operations alongside your POS. Sales and inventory usage are entered manually today. Automatic POS connections are planned for the future.

Can I manage Google reviews in Pinch?

A Google review connection is planned. It is not available yet; it depends on Google API approval and each restaurant authorizing access to its Business Profile.
