Introducing Budgets: Our newest feature for smarter, faster financial planning

Spreadsheets are broken

If you're managing performance targets for a restaurant group in a spreadsheet... you already know the problem.

The finance team has one version. The ops team has another. GMs get sent static files they can’t edit or trust. And when targets change – which they will –  nobody knows which version is the latest, what’s approved, or what to actually track against.

It’s messy. It’s manual. It creates confusion instead of clarity. It’s like trying to run a kitchen of blindfolded chefs. Not pretty. 

And it’s exactly why we created Budgets in Nory. It’s a smarter way to plan and track performance in one place. Here’s how. 

Many targets, one clear view

With Budgets, restaurant teams can now manage their performance targets directly inside Nory.

No more spreadsheets. No more version chaos. Just one shared source of truth for your sales, labour, and COGS targets,  accessible to the right people, at the right time.

You can input your targets, set monthly or weekly budgets, apply growth percentages, and instantly compare actual performance to plan. All within Nory itself.

Unlock big wins

Whether you're a general manager, finance analyst, or operations lead, Budgets brings big wins:

  • Less admin: No more chasing or cross-referencing spreadsheets
  • Faster decisions: Track performance in real time, without waiting for reports
  • Total alignment: Everyone’s looking at the same, up-to-date numbers

Budgets supports hospitality teams by working with them. It toggles between monthly and weekly views depending on what you need, applies growth logic to help you project, and even filters, exports, and shares your budget data. 

It’s about helping you move fast and stay on track. Try that with a kitchen of blindfolded chefs. 

Built for hospitality

Budgets is purpose-built for the hospitality industry. It works the way your teams do:

  • Sales, labour, and COGS: All budgeted and tracked together
  • Weekly vs. monthly: Switch views depending on your workflow
  • Role-based access: Only the right people can edit targets
  • Clear comparisons: See actuals vs. budget at a glance
  • Export and share: Download CSVs or send live links

And because it lives inside Nory, it syncs with your other workflows. 

Soon, Budgets will plug directly into scheduling, insights, and even labour planning, allowing you to control costs and drive performance from one central place.

Smarter targets. Stronger performance.

Budgets is available now to all Nory customers. And if you're still juggling spreadsheets or working from guesswork, why not switch to something built for today’s hospitality businesses?

Sales. Labour. COGS. One place. One plan. One source of truth.
