Food truck profit & menu costing software
Know what your menu really made. GriddleMath imports your Square sales, connects them to recipe costs, and shows what each item earned — after waste.
Connects to Square · No spreadsheets · Free to start
Your POS tells you what sold. Not what you made.
Square shows revenue, item counts, and taxes. What it can't tell you is whether each item still hits its margin once rising ingredient costs, waste, comps, and early sellouts are accounted for. On a truck there's no second service to absorb a bad prep call — that margin is gone at the end of the night.
GriddleMath sits above your POS as the margin layer: it answers whether an item is still profitable, whether it sold out too early, whether waste quietly ate the margin, and whether you should prep more, reprice, or cut it next time.

Everything you need to run a profitable menu
Recipe & ingredient costing
Price every ingredient once. GriddleMath calculates each item's true food cost and gross margin, and updates them when prices change.
Square sales sync
Your Square orders import automatically and match to your menu items, so revenue lines up against recipe costs with no double entry.
Two-minute closeout
A mobile-first form, pre-filled from your POS, captures prep, leftovers, waste, and sellouts in the time it takes to pack up.
Waste-adjusted margins
Most tools stop at theoretical margin. GriddleMath subtracts waste, comps, and sellouts to show what each item actually made.
Prep & pricing recommendations
Clear next actions — prep 20% more brisket, raise the fries to $9.75 — each with the numbers behind it. No black-box AI.
Built for one truck or many
Run a single truck or a small fleet under one account, with per-truck targets and team roles for operators and bookkeepers.
Built for the way food trucks actually work
Owner-operators
You know sales were good — but not whether you made money after food cost and waste. See it per item, and know what to prep next time.
Multi-truck owners
Different trucks prep differently and waste varies by team. Compare item performance across trucks and event types in one place.
Caterers & pop-ups
Every event is a one-shot bet on prep. Learn from similar past events so you bring the right amount and waste less next time.
Curbside Cantina, brewery night
Four items, $2,124 in sales. After the two-minute closeout, here's what GriddleMath surfaced — each backed by the numbers from that service:
Sold out at 7:15 — prep 20% more for the next brewery night.
14 unsold, 6 wasted. Cut prep ~15% for similar events.
Below target margin. Raise from $9.00 to $9.75 or trim portion cost.
High margin, 91% sell-through. Promote it more prominently.
Answers before you sign up
What is GriddleMath?
GriddleMath is profit software for food trucks. It connects your Square sales to your recipe costs and a quick end-of-service closeout, then shows the true, waste-adjusted margin of every menu item — and what to prep, price, or cut next.
Do I have to re-enter my sales?
No. GriddleMath connects to Square and imports your sales automatically, matching them to your menu items. Your closeout starts with those quantities already filled in, so you only add what the POS can't know — prep, leftovers, and waste.
How long does a closeout take?
Under two minutes. The form is built for an operator standing near the truck on a phone: confirm the pre-filled numbers, note anything that sold out or got wasted, and submit.
Is it really free?
Yes — you can get started free today while we're early. We'll introduce paid plans later, and you'll always know before anything changes.
