snodo sits on top of the systems you already run and tells you, to the franc, where margin moved, why, and the one measure that fixes it. It stays in the background and flags a number only when it moves far enough to need a decision.
Your POS shows the what. Your accounting shows the result at month-end. snodo is the layer between them that shows the why, continuously, per outlet.
The outlet, the product and the shift where the deviation appears.
The cause, tested against the alternatives and documented.
The effect in francs, not just a cell coloured red.
The fix, with an owner, a deadline and a measured result.
snodo plugs in on top of the systems you already run, starting with your POS and invoices. Nothing is replaced, nothing changes in the outlet.
The hardest part is that most kitchens have no costed recipes, and keeping them current is a chore nobody has time for. So we build them for you and design a simple upkeep workflow around your chef: confirm the set once, then update any recipe with a WhatsApp voice note or a photo. No spreadsheets, no data entry.
snodo stays quiet until something runs away, then hands you the cause, the franc amount and the measure, with an owner and a deadline.
Your data stays on Swiss infrastructure.
Compliant with the revised Swiss data protection act (nFADP/nLPD).
The whole platform runs in English, German, French and Italian.
Before building snodo we spoke with around fifty people who run food and beverage in Switzerland, then published what we heard as an anonymised research note. It is where the product comes from, and it is public.
We set up the 60-day pilot, build your recipes and you keep the results. You continue only with your explicit yes, no automatic renewal, no long commitment.
snodo is not another system to migrate to. It connects the systems you already run, reconciles them and explains where margin moved, so an owner, a chef or an accountant sees the same truth, in seconds instead of hours.
Consolidated buying power, every outlet on its own baseline, and a suggested transfer instead of a purchase when one outlet is short and another is long.
F&B margin across restaurants, bars and banqueting held together on one page, without adding a controller to the payroll.
The margin discipline of a group operation, without the back office. The recipes are prepared for you; the chef just confirms.
We plug into your POS and invoices and prepare the recipes for the pilot outlet. Your chef confirms them in a single session, max. two hours.
snodo watches quietly and surfaces only what moves money: a price creep, a duplicate invoice, a portion drift, a void pattern, each with the franc amount and the measure.
The Value ledger shows what snodo found against what it costs. You continue only with your explicit yes, no automatic renewal.
The rooftop bar's void rate 4.8% vs a 1.2% house baseline, concentrated after 22:00. Estimated ≈ CHF 1'250/week at stake.
Theoretical food cost 28.5% → 32.1%. Cause isolated: chicken +18%, beef +11% feeding through the recipes.
Duplicate invoice TG-88412 (CHF 2'340) held before the Friday payment run.
Each finding is now a measure with an owner and a deadline, the chicken renegotiation, the roster fix, the portion control.
+CHF 940/month already measured from an earlier portion fix, 17% above what was expected.
Nothing else needed you. Every outlet inside its own range stayed quiet.
The screens above use sample data. In a 60-day pilot they fill with yours.
You don't take on every screen at once. You start with the one view that answers your most expensive question, and add the rest as you need them. Here is the full set, grouped by the problem each one solves.
A balance of the week at the top, explained deviations, recovery potential in francs, then the few points that need action, each with outlet, cause, franc amount, owner and confidence. Everything inside its own range stays quiet.
Every deviation runs the same chain, trigger, evidence, hypothesis tests, financial effect, confidence, measure, result. You see not only that something happened, but why and with what certainty, down to the single invoice.
Each measure gets an owner, a deadline and a status from new to measured. Expected and actually measured recovery sit side by side, so the loop closes, visibly, instead of insights getting lost.
Where the margin went, which prices moved, what to do and the open measures, one page management and outlets read in two minutes. Schedule it to arrive every Monday, or send it once without saving.
Measured (independently confirmed), avoided (money not spent), in progress and even not recovered, each item with its owner and source. Most software asks you to trust it pays off; this one keeps the receipt.
Spend-to-date against budget, per department, with a month-end forecast the moment the pace tips over instead of when the accounts close. You see the overrun while there are still weeks to do something about it.
The change in operating contribution versus last week, broken into its drivers, volume, menu mix, supplier prices, discounts, wages, voids. Each bar is an amount; the total matches the result by construction.
Every dish placed by volume and margin, stars, workhorses, puzzles and dogs, with recipe costs that update from each invoice. When beef rises and a dish slips into the "dogs" corner, you see it at once.
Revenue per labour hour, plan against actual, by outlet and by daypart. The afternoon that is quietly overstaffed or the shift that never pays for itself shows up as a franc figure and a roster you can adjust, without touching payroll data.
Which price moves are costing you money this month, in francs and linked to the dishes, plus missing volume discounts, the same item priced differently across outlets, and an anonymous benchmark against other Swiss operators.
Invoices in as goods received, recipe-based consumption as goods issued, a theoretical stock that matches the P&L. Enter a count and the difference is calculated at once. Below par, snodo drafts the order for you to approve.
Every invoice checked on three fronts, what you ordered, what arrived and what you're billed, with duplicates and overbilling stopped before payment. snodo verifies, then hands a clean figure to you or your fiduciary.
Pour, covers and cash reconciled against the POS, with voids, refunds, discounts and unusual patterns surfaced as questions, not accusations. The revenue a till system loses sight of on its own becomes visible before it adds up.
Waste is the one thing the data can't reconstruct, so we make logging it take seconds: the chef sends a WhatsApp voice note of what is going out, snodo transcribes it, values it from your invoices and files it by outlet, reason and daypart. Over weeks the pattern shows whether it is over-prep, spoilage or portioning, and what it costs.
Ask "Why did the margin fall last week?" or "What if beef rises another 10%?" and get a documented answer in francs within seconds, with a link straight to the right view. It works in English, German, French and Italian.
A full client setup layer: departments and people to assign measures to, per-outlet recipes and targets, supplier-code mapping, and role-based access, so the right person sees the right numbers.

Swiss-hosted, nFADP-compliant · snodo.ch
snodo did not start with a product. It began with months of listening to the people who run food and beverage in Switzerland, and with the findings we published from those conversations.
Between June and August 2026 we spoke with around fifty operators, owners of restaurant groups, hotel directors, F&B and purchasing managers, finance directors and caterers, on the record and without asking for their figures.
We wrote up what we heard as an anonymised findings note, “Where the margin goes.” Every observation in it appeared in more than one conversation, so it reflects the industry rather than a single opinion.
It is public. If you run a hospitality business in Switzerland, request the full note and we will send it to you directly.
We build snodo close to the floor and the kitchen pass, not from a distance. It is led by our founders with a small team spanning hospitality operations and software.
Studied hospitality management in Switzerland and a master's in finance in Spain. Worked in F&B, operations and purchasing across Switzerland, Spain and the United States.
Studied hospitality management in Switzerland and started working young in his family's hotel and restaurant. He went on to rooms and F&B across Europe and the US.
We are working with a small number of operations this autumn. The 60-day pilot runs on your own numbers, and you keep the results.
