RESTAURANT REALITY
The product has to survive the shift.
Waste is noticed while prep is moving, orders are landing, and the team is already thinking about the next task. CORYN is designed around that reality: capture quickly, add context only when it helps, and review the pattern before the next prep decision.
BUILT AROUND THE PRESSURE OF SERVICE
Waste happens in motion,
not after the fact.
CORYN is built for the moment waste is noticed, not just the office review after service. Capture the signal while the context is still fresh.

Operator view
Built for the person running the shift.
Phone-first logging keeps the workflow close to the kitchen instead of buried on a back-office laptop.
What gets captured
During service
Item, amount, reason
Fast enough to log while the context is still fresh.
After the rush
Shift, business level, notes
Only add context that explains the loss pattern.
Before next prep
Repeated drivers
Review what should be held, reduced, or watched.
Prep pressure appears before the numbers do
The first useful signal is often simple: what was overprepped, when it happened, and whether it keeps repeating.
Food waste is still food cost
Every tray, batch, and portion has margin attached to it. CORYN keeps that cost visible.
THE OPERATING LOOP
From waste event
to better prep.
CORYN turns one waste event into one clear prep fix. Log it fast, see what drove it, and tighten the next shift.
CAPTURE
Log it fast.
Quick enough for service. Clear enough to use later.

Can the tool pay
for itself?
Use a typical independent restaurant's average day to see the answer clearly: how much waste exposure exists now, and how much CORYN could realistically help recover.

WHAT THE INPUTS MEAN
$6,000/day in sales is about $2,190,000/year for one restaurant.
At 4% waste, that means about $87,600/year in food cost exposure.
If CORYN helps recover about 14% of that, the modeled value is $12,275/year.

ROI CHECK
Can the tool pay for itself?
A restaurant owner should not have to decode a spreadsheet to understand value. The clearest ROI story starts with one visible waste number, sizes the annual exposure, then compares a modest improvement against the plan cost.
Important guardrail
This is not a savings guarantee. It is a plain break-even lens using the sample dashboard number so operators can judge whether tighter waste visibility is worth the spend.
Operator receipt
$428
weekly waste loss visible in the sample dashboard.
The buyer question
If CORYN helps reduce even a small share of repeated waste, how much room is left after the software cost?
Step
01
Start with a visible weekly leak
sample dashboard waste
$428
This is the kind of number an operator can actually act on: waste that happened, with enough context to explain it.
Step
02
Size the problem over a year
$428 x 52 weeks
$22,256
This is not a forecast. It is a simple way to show how small weekly losses become real annual margin pressure.
Step
03
Test a modest improvement target
$22,256 x 10%
$2,226
A 10% reduction is intentionally conservative. It gives the buyer a clear break-even conversation without overstating savings.
Core plan cost
$1,788
$149 per month, annualized for the comparison.
Room after software
$438
Based on the 10% improvement test, not a promised result.
Practical takeaway
The sale is margin clarity, not a miracle claim.
PRODUCT READ
A waste dashboard built
for action, not noise.

WHY CORYN
A sharper product because it refuses to be broad.
Most restaurant platforms grow outward until waste becomes one more tab. CORYN is built in the opposite direction: start with the loss, understand the operating context, then turn that signal into a tighter prep decision.
The honest moat
A bigger platform can add a waste screen.
The harder part is getting a busy kitchen to use it consistently and translating those logs into next-day prep language. That is where CORYN stays focused.
The waste event comes first
CORYN starts with what was wasted, how much, when it happened, and why. That keeps the system tied to the actual kitchen moment.
Only the details that explain the loss
Shift, business level, top sellers, guests served, and notes give the waste log enough context without turning the workflow into admin work.
The output reads like prep direction
The recommendation layer points operators toward the next adjustment instead of leaving them to interpret another dashboard.
Product thesis
Waste is not a reporting category. It is an operating loop.
The system is strongest when every screen connects back to one question: what needs to change before the next shift?
Signal 01
Waste event
Signal 02

Signal 03
Prep decision
Broader systems start with back-office workflows.
CORYN starts with the wasted item, the service moment, and the prep decision that follows.
Dashboards often explain the past too late.
CORYN keeps the next shift visible: what repeated, why it mattered, and what to tighten.
Generic reporting is easy to copy.
The defensible layer is operator adoption: phone-first capture, kitchen language, and prep-specific recommendations.
CORYN
Waste visibility built for
better restaurant decisions.
Reduce avoidable food waste. Tighten prep output. Run a calmer, sharper kitchen.
