Volume exposes every inefficiency.

In a dark kitchen, small operational leaks compound fast. Orders flood in from five different tablets. Margins drift unnoticed. Inventory counts are always slightly off. Without a unified system, you're flying blind at high speed.

From order to margin, everything connected.

No blind spots. No manual reconciliation. Just one continuous flow.

Multi-Channel In

Orders from Uber, DoorDash, and Direct flow into one pipe.

Unified Prep

KDS routes items by station, regardless of the brand.

Auto-Deduction

Stock updates instantly. Variance is tracked per gram.

Real-Time Margin

Know your exact profit on every burger, instantly.

Manage multiple brands without multiplying complexity.

Complexity stays in the system — not in your head. Guava enables shared inventory across brands, brand-specific menus & pricing, separate margin tracking, and unified reporting.

  • Clean brand comparisons
  • Shared ingredient inventory
  • One kitchen display system

"Guava gave us the visibility we didn't know we were missing. We cut ingredient variance by 20% in the first month and finally saw our real margins per brand."
