What's New in Restaurateur

1.2

March 14, 2025

Against all odds, Restaurateur is back for 2025! Our 2012 app helped launch over 50 successful restaurants nationwide, with stories that inspired us to completely rebuild for today's market. Users reported 30% higher success rates than industry averages by following our space-first planning approach. New in this version: - Cleaned up user interface - Updated industry ratios for 2025 - New concept presets including Ghost Kitchen, Bowl Concept & Brunch Money Machine - Enhanced delivery/takeout modeling - Improved sales mix customization - Detailed breakdown of modern fixed and variable costs (Uber Eats and DoorDash didn't exist in 2012!) - Export options for sharing with investors, lenders or worse: Landlords (your #1 enemy) As one successful owner told us: "I was ready to sign a lease on emotion alone. Restaurateur made me run the numbers first. I ended up shopping around for two more months, choosing a different location with lower rent, and three years later, we're profitable and expanding!"

Trust this app

This app can feel frustrating at first, especially when you’re chasing the dream of opening your first restaurant. But that’s exactly why it’s such an invaluable tool. It exposes where landlords might be taking advantage of you and lays out what you need to do to succeed. If you think it’s impossible, remember—data doesn’t lie. The possibilities (and the hard work) are up to you. Trust the numbers. I used this app to open my first restaurant, and I’m still here.
