I ran a café for three years doing everything in spreadsheets — never really knowing if we were profitable until the accountant called. I built SteamStack so you always know exactly where your business stands.
Upload a supplier invoice as a PDF or a photo and SteamStack reads it — supplier, dates, totals, GST, and every line item with its quantity and unit price. You check what it found and confirm. No typing invoices in at 9pm.
Everything else comes in from exports you already have. No API keys, no IT project, no waiting on your POS provider.
Register your interest →Everything a small hospitality business actually needs to run, organised across five areas — and all of it working off the same numbers.
A weekly profit and loss that actually answers "did I make money this week?" — accrual, ex-GST, with your break-even sitting right next to it. Click any line to see the exact invoices, shifts or transactions behind the number.
Most owners are live within a day. No consultants, no API keys, no lengthy onboarding.
Upload supplier invoices as PDFs or photos and SteamStack reads them for you. Bring in POS sales, timesheets and bank statements from exports you already have.
Add your team, suppliers and recipes. Build your ingredient library from your invoices. Your food cost percentages calculate automatically.
Manage invoices, rosters, payroll and finances from one dashboard — on any device, anywhere. Your weekly report is ready every Monday morning.
No feature gating, no per-seat fees, no surprises. Indicative pricing while we finish building — register your interest and you’ll lock in the founding rate.
SteamStack replaces the spreadsheets, folders and manual calculations that are costing you hours every week. No setup fees, no lock-in.
All prices in AUD · GST inclusive · Indicative launch pricing · No payment taken while registering interest
"I have no idea what my food cost percentage actually is."
SteamStack calculates your food cost % live as you build recipes — using real prices pulled from your supplier invoices.
"I only find out how the week went when my accountant tells me."
Your weekly report is ready every Monday — revenue, expenses, labour % and net margin, all in one view without waiting for anyone.
"My invoices are in a pile somewhere and I don't know what I owe."
Every supplier invoice is tracked, categorised and searchable. Know exactly what's paid, unpaid and overdue at a glance.
"Doing the roster takes me half a day every week."
Build your roster in minutes and see your projected labour cost before you publish — so you're never surprised by wages at the end of the week.
"I'm busy but I don't actually know if I'm making money."
Your Business Summary shows avg weekly sales, stock costs, wages and margins in real time — so you always know the score.
"I'm using five different tools and none of them talk to each other."
SteamStack replaces your spreadsheets, notes app, payroll sheet and reporting tool with one platform built specifically for hospitality.
After nearly a decade in hospitality — including co-owning a café — I know exactly what it feels like to run a business without a clear financial picture. Checking the POS at midnight. Guessing at food costs. Finding out you had a bad month three weeks after the fact. SteamStack gives café and restaurant owners the same real-time visibility that big businesses take for granted — without needing an accountant on speed dial.

Register your interest →SteamStack isn't open to everyone yet. We're bringing café and restaurant owners on gradually, so we can sit with each one and make sure their numbers are set up properly rather than leaving them to it.
Register your interest and you'll go on the list in the order you sign up.
Takes about twenty seconds. We'll only email you about early access.
We'll only use your details to contact you about SteamStack early access. See our privacy policy.
Thanks for registering. We'll email you when a place opens up — keep an eye out for a confirmation in your inbox shortly.
No. Registering your interest just adds you to the early access list — there's no payment, no card details and no obligation. We'll email you when a place opens up.
We're letting venues in gradually rather than all at once, so we can help each one get set up properly. You'll go on the list in the order you register, and we'll be in touch by email.
Whatever you already have — a sales export from your POS, your supplier invoices as PDFs or photos, and a CSV from your bank. There are no API keys to generate and nothing to ask your POS provider for.
Yes. Every business's data is isolated at the database level, enforced by row level security rather than by application code alone. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and your financial information is never shared with third parties.
Not yet — today one account covers one business, and there are no separate staff logins. Multi-venue support is something we're actively considering, so if you run more than one site, say so when you register and it helps us prioritise.
Not at all. SteamStack is built for hospitality owners, not IT departments. There's a searchable guide inside the app, and a help link on every screen that jumps straight to the relevant section.
Be one of the first café and restaurant owners across Australia to swap the spreadsheets for SteamStack. Register your interest — it takes about twenty seconds.
