Restaurant Intelligence
Weekly financial intelligence for independent restaurants. The numbers that matter, in plain language, every week.
Start the conversationWhat we do
Most independent operators are running blind — POS data they can't read, invoices nobody reconciles, a beverage programme haemorrhaging margin. Nightlight turns that data into a weekly intelligence report a busy operator can act on in ten minutes.
No consultants. No six-month rollouts. No dashboards that need a PhD to interpret. One weekly document. The signal, not the noise.
01
Prime cost, COGS by category, labour ratios — tracked week-over-week against your own benchmarks, not industry averages.
02
Pour cost, bottle variance, by-the-glass margin — the part of the P&L most operators never look at until it's too late.
03
A single document every Monday morning. What changed, what it means, what to do about it. Written by a human. Powered by AI.
"Our first diagnostic caught a $43,000 discrepancy that existing restaurant software had missed entirely."

Who we are
Twenty years in hospitality — Michelin-starred kitchens, David Chang's Momofuku group, Sydney Morning Herald Sommelier of the Year 2014.
Nightlight was built because the tools that exist were built for accountants, not operators. The data has always been there. What was missing was someone who could read a P&L and a wine list in the same afternoon and tell you what was actually wrong.
We use AI to move at machine speed. We use 20 years of operational experience to know what matters.
