Most restaurant software is built for chains. We built this for everyone else.
You already know what's wrong.
The tools built for restaurants are either too expensive, too complicated, or both. So you do what works: spreadsheets, group texts, and gut feel. It gets the job done. But it costs you time you don't have, and it misses things until they become problems.
Change Solutions is built for the operator who doesn't have a corporate back-office team. Everything you need, nothing you don't, at a price that makes sense for one to five locations.
Draft a Sysco order in two minutes from par and depletion, not twenty from scratch and memory.
The platform
One system. Every part of your operation.
Built for independents who run the pass and the P&L, without a corporate back-office team.
Inventory
On-hand vs par with depletion tied to what you actually sold, not a static sheet.
Square sync · variance when something is off
Prep
Counts from expected covers and par so the line knows what to make.
Batch and component tracking · print or screen
Orders
Draft vendor orders from inventory and depletion; you review and send.
Full order history by vendor
Vendors
Contacts, pricing, and order history so negotiations start from facts.
Catalog linked to products and recipes
Performance
Contribution-style views per plate: what's selling, margin, and drift.
Trends across the date range you choose
And across all of it, Marc.
Today
Walk in knowing what happened and what needs doing.
Your morning summary is ready before you arrive: last night's sales, open items, and the three things that need your attention today. No digging through reports. No asking around.
- Last night's close vs. your weekly plan
- Prep priorities for the day's covers
- Pending items waiting on your approval
Inventory
Par and depletion tied to real sales.
See what's on hand, what's running low, and what's depleting faster than expected, all connected to what you actually sold. Not a static spreadsheet. Not a guessing game.
- On-hand vs. par with depletion rate
- Variance flags when something's off
- Tied to your Square sales data automatically
Prep
Your kitchen crew knows exactly what to make.
Prep targets calculated from covers and par, not last week's printed sheet. Your team gets clear counts. You get fewer "we ran out of that" moments mid-service.
- Daily prep counts based on expected covers
- Batch and component tracking
- Printable or screen-ready for the line
Orders
Draft your Sysco order in two minutes, not twenty.
Orders built from current inventory and depletion data. Review, adjust, and send, with a full record of what you ordered and when. No more ordering from memory.
- Auto-drafted from par and on-hand
- Line-item review before you submit
- Full order history by vendor
Vendors
Who you buy from, with receipts.
Centralize your vendor contacts, pricing, and order history so negotiations start from facts, not memory. Know exactly what you paid last time and whether the price moved.
- Vendor catalog linked to your products and recipes
- Price movement visible across categories
- Fewer "I think Sysco was charging less" moments
Performance
See what's selling, what's paying, and what's quietly hurting you.
Contribution-style views per plate and category, in language your kitchen and floor actually understand. Spot what's eroding margin before it becomes a real problem.
- Food cost by item and category
- Covers vs. revenue vs. target
- Trend views across your date range
Marc: AI ops manager
Every platform tells you what happened. Marc tells you what to do about it.
Marc is built into the platform. Every morning, he scans your sales, flags what's drifting, drafts the notes your team needs, and lines up approvals for your review. You don't ask Marc questions. He shows up with answers.
- Flags food cost drift with a suggested fix, not just a number
- Drafts your vendor orders, pre-shift brief, and Redbook entry
- Surfaces items that need your approval, not your attention to figure out
Marc doesn't replace your judgment. He does the legwork before you get in.

About
Built in Houston, for operators like you.
Change Solutions was started because the software that should be helping independent restaurants is either built for chains or priced like it. We're building the platform we'd want if we were running the floor: straightforward, affordable, and actually useful on a Tuesday morning.
Currently in beta with operators in the Houston area. We're building this with you, not for a pitch deck.
