Answer a few quick questions. If it looks like a good fit, you'll be invited to book a demo call.

Yes, show me how

That's alright. We're probably not a good fit right now since we're only looking to work with owners who want to keep more of what they make.

Restaurants We've Transformed

Molino Project
Molino Project
Seoul, Korea

Opened in 2021 with a single location. By 2025 they opened four locations across four different concepts. Not only that, they also became the first Michelin-starred Mexican restaurant in Asia. The system let them scale because the standard was no longer trapped inside one person.

4 locations4 conceptsMichelin star
Tapiz Bistro
Tapiz Bistro
Mexico City, Mexico

Opened in 2024. Within a year, they opened their second location while maintaining 28% profit margins at $2m/year. The first location ran so well on the system that the owner could step away and focus entirely on the expansion. He didn't systematize after he scaled. He systematized so he could scale.

Salt and Lime
Salt & Lime
Del Mar, California

Started as a food truck. After implementing Restaurant Codex, they transformed into a full brick-and-mortar restaurant in less than 3 months and became the town's favorite spot for food. Without changing the menu, the staff, or the prices. Running 22% profit margins at $2,5M/year in one of San Diego's wealthiest neighborhoods.

Mexico

A brand new concept built from the ground up using Restaurant Codex. Went from zero to open in just 2 months. Running 32% profit margins consistently from day one. Not a broken restaurant we fixed. A new restaurant built on the right infrastructure from the start that's now doing $2M/year.

Your City, Your Country

Was stuck at 4-10% margins working 70-80 hours a week. After implementing Restaurant Codex, added 5-10% to their bottom line in 60 days. Cut training time by 70%. Got 7-10 hours back every week. Finally stepped away without the phone ringing. And can now spend quality time with the people you care about WHILE the restaurant runs the same whether you're there or not.

Every Week You Restaurant Resets Back To Zero - Like You Never Make Progress

These are the exact situations restaurant owners describe to us every single week.

You took a day off. It lasted two hours.

Supplier issue, a no-show, and a guest complaint that nobody handled correctly. You drove back in because it was easier than fixing it remotely. And that wasn't just a bad day. That's every time you try to step away.

You're doing $1.5M+ in revenue and taking home less than a salaried manager.

The restaurant looks successful from the outside. But at 3-6% margins, the financial return doesn't justify the 70-80 hour weeks, the missed family dinners, or the risk you carry every single day.

You train someone on Monday. By Thursday they're doing it their own way.

You've written the SOPs. You've laminated the checklists. You've repeated yourself until you could say it in your sleep. Nothing sticks because the standard lives inside your head, not inside a system.

Someone quits and the whole operation resets to zero.

Every time a key person leaves, they take the standard with them. The new hire shadows someone for six weeks, costs you $5,800 in replacement costs, and you're back to square one. Again.

Your life has become work, home, repeat.

No quality time with the people you care about. Your partner stopped asking when you'll be home because they already know the answer. The business was supposed to give you freedom. Instead it became the thing that owns you. I know because I lived this for over a decade.

The 2-Lever System that adds 5-10% to your bottom line in 60 days

Prime costs eat 71-78 cents of every dollar your restaurant brings in. When you tighten these two levers by even a few percentage points, the impact on your bottom line is massive. That's where you make money.

1

We audit your operation and find the leaks

Within the first day, we map your labor costs, food flow, training gaps, and team structure. We put a dollar amount on every leak so you see exactly where the money is going. Most owners are shocked by the number.

2

We build and install your operational infrastructure in just 3 days

Your recipes get standardized so portions are consistent and waste drops. Your training gets structured so new hires are productive in days instead of weeks. Your SOPs stop living in a binder and start getting delivered to the right person, at the right time, for the right task.

3

Your accountability dashboard goes live

Every task, every checklist, every training module is tracked. From your phone you can see who did what, what got missed, and where things are slipping. Without being there. Without calling your manager. Without guessing.

4

We optimize with you for 60 days

We don't hand you a system and disappear. We're on calls with you weekly for 60 days, observing what's working, adjusting what needs it, and making sure everything is dialed in for your specific operation. And of course we're just a call away when you have questions.

Everything included in Restaurant Codex

This is not a course. Not a binder. Not software you figure out alone. And not an expensive consulting fee that tells you to "cut your staff and raise your prices". It's an implementation built around your restaurant.

Full Operational Audit

We tear apart your labor costs, food flow, training process, and team structure. You get a clear picture of every dollar walking out the door.

Custom Recipe & Portion Standardization

Every recipe built into the system with exact portions, costs, and prep instructions. Your food cost drops because consistency stops being optional.

Role-Based Training Paths

Step-by-step training for every position with built-in quizzes so you actually know they learned it. New hires productive in days instead of weeks.

Daily Execution Checklists By Role & Shift

Opening, mid-shift, closing. Every task assigned, tracked, and visible. No more wondering if the closing checklist actually got done last Tuesday.

Real-Time Accountability Dashboard

See what's happening across every shift and every location from your phone. Who completed what. What got missed. Where things are slipping.

AI Assistant (Multilingual)

Your team can ask questions in any language and get answers pulled directly from your own recipes and SOPs. 24/7. No manager needed.

60 Days of Hands-On Implementation

Weekly calls, live feedback, real-time adjustments. We build the system with you and make sure it sticks with the people who actually work there.

Bonus Year of Access (After Hitting Your Metrics)

Once your restaurant adds 5-10% to the bottom line, you get an entire extra year of system access. Free. Because we only win when you win.

Our Guarantee

If you don't add 5-10% to your bottom line, we keep working until you do.

It's not a question of IF you're going to keep more of what you make, it's only a question of when. We keep working with you at no extra charges and no time limit until we hit the mark.

Worst case: you add 5-10% to your bottom line but it takes longer than 60 days. You still win.

Best case: you hit those metrics fast, save thousands per year, and get an entire bonus year of access to the system completely free.

We only win when you win. And when you win, we reward you for it.

You're not talking to a Billion Dollar Tech company

David Castro
David Castro
Founder, Restaurant Codex

I spent 10 years inside restaurant kitchens. I was a head chef in San Diego. Opened restaurants in Mexico. Ran F&B for IHG Hotels. Even opened 8 profitable restaurants across 5 countries. Then I built Restaurant Codex because I lived the exact same cycle you're in right now. My life was literally work, home, repeat. Thin margins. SOPs nobody followed. I built the system I wished existed when I was running those kitchens. And every restaurant I've implemented this system in averages 23.6% profit margins. I understand your world and I've lived your exact situation, and now I want to help you scale your restaurant and keep more of what you make, every single year.

Everything you need to know

What is Restaurant Codex?
Restaurant Codex is a 60-day done-with-you implementation that adds 5-10% to your bottom line by tightening up the two cost categories that eat most of your revenue: labor and food costs. We build your SOPs, standardize your recipes, create role-based training paths, and install an accountability system so your team performs consistently whether you're there or not. It's not software you figure out alone. We build it with you and install it directly into your restaurant.
Why is this different from everything else I've tried?
Two reasons. First, this was built by a chef who spent a decade inside restaurant kitchens, not a tech company or a consultant who read about restaurants. David lived the exact problems you're dealing with. Second, we don't hand you a login and disappear. We build the system inside your restaurant with your team over 60 days. The reason every other solution failed is because it required you to build it yourself on top of running a restaurant. That's not how this works.
What exactly do I get?
Full operational audit, custom recipe and portion standardization, role-based training paths with quizzes, daily execution checklists by role and shift, a real-time accountability dashboard you can check from your phone, an AI assistant your team can use in any language, 60 days of weekly implementation calls, and a bonus year of access after you hit your metrics. Everything is built around your specific restaurant, your standards, your recipes.
Who is David Castro?
David spent 10 years in restaurant operations as a head chef across 5 countries and 8 restaurant openings. He ran F&B for IHG Hotels and has personally helped open restaurants from San Diego to Seoul. He built Restaurant Codex because he lived the same problems you're dealing with and built the system he wished existed when he was running those kitchens.
How much does it cost?
It's a five-figure investment. On a restaurant doing $1.5M/year, even a conservative 5% bottom-line increase means an additional $75,000 annually. Most restaurants recover their investment in the first quarter from the operational waste the system eliminates, and that's without counting in the profit increase.
What's the guarantee?
If you don't add 5-10% to your bottom line, we keep working with you until you do. No extra cost. No time limit. After you hit the target, you get a bonus year of access free.
How long does setup take?
About 3-4 days for the initial audit and setup, then 60 days of weekly optimization. Your restaurant never shuts down. We build around your operation.
What if my team won't use it?
The right task gets delivered to the right person at the right time automatically. They don't go find it. It finds them. Everything is tracked. If your staff can scroll Instagram, they can use this. And the AI assistant answers questions in any language.
Is this just another software?
No. Software is an empty box. If your kitchen is disorganized, buying software just digitizes the chaos. Restaurant Codex is a 60-day done-with-you program where we build, install, and optimize a permanent operational infrastructure. Software is a tool you manage. Infrastructure manages the restaurant for you.
Will this work for my type of restaurant?
Proven across fine dining in Korea (4 locations, Michelin star), casual in Mexico City (second location within a year), seasonal in California (food truck to brick-and-mortar), and brand new concepts launched from scratch. Different cuisine, culture, price point, and team size. Same core problems, same system, same results.
Will this interfere with my current POS or systems?
No. Your POS, suppliers, and team structure stay exactly the same. We plug into your existing operation and build the execution layer on top of what you already have.
I don't have time to implement this.
Two options. Done-with-you: we build it with your feedback, couple hours a week on calls. Done-for-you: we come in and handle everything while you keep running your restaurant. Either way, you're not figuring this out alone on top of running the operation.
I've been burned by consultants before.
Traditional consultants diagnose the problem and leave you to fix it. We build and install the system inside your restaurant over 60 days. We're on calls with you every week. And we guarantee the result. If your bottom line doesn't move, we keep working at no extra cost.
What happens after the 60 days?
Everything stays and keeps running. Full year of access included. If you hit the 5-10% target, you get a bonus year free. Most owners stop thinking about the system by month 3 because it just becomes how the restaurant operates.
