Lightspeed Data Entry & Cost Analysis

I need every item we use in the restaurant—food ingredients, prep items, paper goods, and our wage data—entered and correctly mapped inside Lightspeed. Once everything is in place, I want clear, reliable reports that show exactly what we’re spending on food and on labour so I can track margins in real-time and set profit goals with confidence.

Your job will be to:
• Build or tidy the product catalogue in Lightspeed, covering both food inventory and labour cost categories.
• Assign the right units, cost prices, and vendors so the system can calculate food-cost percentages automatically.
• Configure labour tracking in Lightspeed so wage data feeds smoothly into the same dashboard.
• Deliver at least one exportable report that breaks down total sales, cost of goods sold, labour cost, and resulting gross profit.

If you see additional fields or workflows inside Lightspeed that would sharpen decision-making (e.g., waste tracking, menu engineering), please outline them. I’m asking for a detailed project proposal that explains your approach, timeframe, and any sample reports you’ll generate along the way so I can understand how you’ll hit these goals.

Experience with Lightspeed Restaurant or similar POS inventory modules is important. I’m ready to start as soon as we agree on a plan.
