How it works
A clear read on your business, in ten minutes
Pulsilon scores your business across five dimensions, tells you where you stand in plain English, and shows you what to fix first — then lets you track it over time.

Tailored questions
The same five dimensions, asked in your language
Every business gets asked about profitability. What changes is the question — because "what's your margin?" and "what's your prime cost?" are the same question to an accountant and completely different questions to the person running the kitchen.
Do you know your net profit margin for the last 12 months?
Do you know your prime cost — food and drink costs plus labor, as a share of sales?
Prime cost is THE restaurant number: ingredients + all labor, divided by sales. Healthy operations usually keep it under ~60–65%. Above that, profit is nearly impossible.
Both score the same dimension the same way. Only the wording moves — so your score is still comparable to every other business we measure.
