MarginCommand
in 15 Seconds.
See the job-margin problem—and the workflow MarginCommand is built to solve.
Three Tools.
Zero Connection.
When estimates, customer documents, and costs live in different places, it is harder to see what a job actually earned.
Our catering foundation now informs discovery and beta onboarding with woodworkers, jewelers, gunsmiths, and construction operators. See what operators are teaching us.
Experience is a useful starting point. But yield, labor, travel, and supplies can change the cost of the next job. Make those assumptions visible before committing to a price.
A clear, itemized proposal keeps the scope and quoted price together, so both sides have a record of what was offered.
Connect customer documents and approved costs to the original job. Compare the estimate with the actual result and carry what you learned into the next quote.
One Job File.
Complete Money Loop.
Quote, proposal, invoice, operator-owned payment link, receipts, approved actuals, margin review, and export all stay tied to the same job record.
Enter headcount, menu mix, yield loss, labor, mileage, and supplies. MarginCommand keeps the pricing logic visible before the operator sends anything to the customer.
Generate proposal and invoice PDFs from the same approved quote data. No rekeying, no duplicate math, no gap between what was proposed and what was billed.
Attach the operator's own payment link, track status manually during beta, capture receipts, and approve costs before they become financial Ground Truth.
The Math Is
Already Wrong.
MarginCommand starts with configurable, product-specific yield assumptions. Operators can adjust them for the cut, cooking process, service method, and their own operating history, then compare the estimate with approved actual results to improve future jobs.
Four Phases.
Operator Approved.
Build a catering or service-job estimate from headcount, menu mix, yield loss, labor, mileage, and supplies. The quote is the source record for the rest of the workflow.
Generate customer-ready proposal and invoice PDFs from the same approved quote data, then attach a Stripe, Square, QuickBooks, or other business-owned payment link.
Capture receipts, let Gemini help review details and flag possible issues, then require operator approval before anything updates actual costs.
Compare quoted vs. actual margin in Mission Control, then export job records and after-action notes for bookkeeping, CPA review, and operator learning.
Built for the Complete
Job-Money Loop.
Pilot-ready beta workflow for moving from quote to invoice to operator-owned payment tracking to receipt review, approved actuals, margin review, and CPA/AAR export.
Build a catering or service-job estimate from headcount, menu mix, yield loss, labor, mileage, and supplies before sending numbers to the customer.
Generate a professional proposal PDF from the same approved quote data, with event details, menu breakdown, and pricing tied back to the job record.
Create customer-ready invoice PDFs without rekeying the quote, so proposal and invoice numbers stay aligned through the beta workflow.
Attach a Stripe, Square, QuickBooks, or other business-owned payment link. MarginCommand does not process payments, route funds, or act as merchant of record.
Track Draft, Sent, Deposit Requested, Deposit Received, Paid, or Cancelled manually while payment activity remains outside MarginCommand.
Capture job receipts and keep them attached to the workflow so actual costs can be reviewed against the original quote.
Gemini helps review receipt details and flag possible issues. AI output is advisory until the operator reviews and approves it.
Log approved actual costs only after review, then compare them against the quote without treating AI suggestions as financial Ground Truth.
See where the job made or lost money by comparing quoted margin against approved actual costs in the operator's job file.
Export job records and after-action notes for bookkeeping, CPA review, and margin learning while the operator remains responsible for review.
MarginCommand runs as a controlled beta on Google Cloud. Gemini-assisted outputs remain advisory, and operators approve financial updates.
During beta, MarginCommand supports invoice-to-payment tracking through operator-owned payment links. MarginCommand does not process payments, route funds, hold funds, act as merchant of record, or use Stripe Connect.
AI suggestions remain advisory until the operator reviews and approves them. MarginCommand is designed to protect financial Ground Truth before actuals update.

The problem is not simply calculating a margin. It is understanding what drove it—and what to change before the next job.
