Every pound in, every pound out. Accounted for.
Live P&L, cash flow, delivery commissions and supplier spend, pulled from your till and bank and turned into a plain-English Monday briefing.
Know if you made money last week.
Sales from your POS. Food cost from invoices. Staff cost from your bank. Fixed costs configured once. Every line tagged with where it came from and how confident we are in it, so the moment something looks off, you know exactly which lever to pull.
- Source-tagged. POS, bank, invoice, calculated: every row labelled.
- Confidence indicators. Complete, partial, or missing. One-click action when something's off.
- Rolling four-week comparison. Smooths week-to-week noise without losing the trend.
- Per location or rolled up. Group P&L, rolled up across every location.
Never get caught out by cash.
Bank-first cash flow with operating, investing and financing split. Opening and closing balance per week. Eight-week trajectory. The view that keeps working even when invoices are missing or the POS is offline, because cash never lies.
- Bank-first. Works the moment you connect a bank, no other data needed.
- Eight-week trajectory. Spot the slide before it becomes a problem.
- Split by category. Operating, investing, financing. So you know which side is moving.
- Runway approximation. When fixed costs are configured, see the months you have left.
Your week, understood in two minutes.
Every Monday, your inbox gets a short briefing: last week's P&L, the month so far, your score, and the specific action to lift your restaurant this week. No generic AI fluff. Grounded in your numbers, in plain English.
- Pillar-aware. The briefing leads with whichever pillar is moving most this week.
- Site-specific. Group summary at the top, per-site detail underneath.
- Action-oriented. Each insight links to the resolution flow in the dashboard.
- Trustworthy. Says when something's missing rather than guessing.
Stop categorising. Start growing.
Every bank transaction sorted into the right line of your P&L from day one. Forward your invoices on top, optionally, for fairer monthly figures and accrual-based expensing.
- Banking, automatic from day one. Revenue, food cost, staff cost, rent, utilities, fees and more: sorted into a deep set of categories built for restaurants.
- 95% accuracy from your first transactions. Simple, tap-to-classify line for anything we're not sure about. Override anytime.
- Invoices, optional but powerful. Forward your invoices to enable accrual-based expensing: a quarterly insurance bill spreads across the months it covers, not the week it cleared the bank.
Know exactly what the platforms take.
Alpa reads your Deliveroo, Just Eat and Uber Eats statements and turns them into one clear picture: what you sold, what they charged, and what actually landed in your bank.
- Commission, decoded. Fees, ad spend, refunds and adjustments, split out per platform and per period.
- Rate drift alerts. Your effective rate is tracked over time, so a quiet increase never slips through. Most independents pay 25-30% - know where you stand.
- Side by side. Volume, effective rate and net margin per platform, on one screen.
- Reconciled to the bank. Statement payouts matched to bank deposits, so nothing goes missing.

| Deliveroo | £8,412 | 24.8%▲ +1.2pp |
| Uber Eats | £6,230 | 27.1%▲ +0.4pp |

Ask about your numbers. In plain English.
Someone to ask, whenever you need it. What did I make last week? Why is my margin slipping? Is delivery costing me too much? Ask in your own words and get a clear explanation, with the numbers behind it.
- Answers you can trust. It only ever uses your restaurant's real numbers, and shows you where each one comes from. When it doesn't know, it says so.
- No tables to decode. Performance, profitability, margins: ask the way you'd ask a colleague, and get a plain answer with the trend behind it.
- Your guide from day one. Setting up Alpa is now a conversation: it walks you through connecting your till and bank, and suggests what to add next for sharper answers.
- It explains, it never touches. The assistant helps you understand your books. It never changes them.
Yes: your operating margin has averaged 12.4% over the last 13 weeks, up from 11.1%. Sales are up 4% and staff costs are down 0.8 points. The main drag is delivery commissions, which crept to 26.1% and cost you £1,840 last month.
