The Problem

Small restaurant owners in Latin America run their numbers on paper or gut feeling. They don't know their real break-even point, can't track daily production against targets, and lose money on ingredient waste they never measure.

What I Built

Tribo is a complete restaurant management system that runs entirely in the browser — no backend, no login, no friction. It gives restaurant owners real-time financial clarity and operational control.

Break-Even Calculator

Dynamic break-even analysis based on fixed costs (rent, salaries, utilities) and menu pricing. The system calculates exactly how many plates need to sell per day to cover costs, and tracks daily progress against that target.

Per-Plate Costing

Full ingredient-level cost breakdown for each menu item. Owners see exactly where their margin comes from and which ingredients eat into profit. Includes upcoming waste/shrinkage calculations (meat ~15-20%, chicken ~25-30%, vegetables ~20-25%).

Inventory Control

Real-time stock tracking with automatic deduction when production is registered. The system calculates how many plates are possible with current stock and flags shortages before they happen.

AI-Powered Invoice Scanner

Upload a photo of a supplier invoice and the system automatically detects products, quantities, and prices using Groq API with Llama 4 Scout. No manual data entry — snap a photo, confirm the detected items, and inventory updates automatically.

Daily Production Tracking

Register daily sales, track cumulative monthly progress toward break-even, and see at a glance whether the business is above or below target.

Technical Stack

Frontend: Pure HTML + JavaScript, zero frameworks, fast on any device
Database: localStorage (Supabase with per-client login coming next)
AI Engine: Groq API with Llama 4 Scout for invoice OCR
Hosting: Cloudflare Pages — instant global delivery
Architecture: Fully client-side, no backend required

Result

A production-ready SaaS tool that gives small restaurant owners the financial visibility that previously required an accountant or expensive enterprise software — accessible from any phone or tablet, with AI automation eliminating manual data entry.
