## Description

Running a cafe means dealing with thin margins and constant small expenses. This MCP gives your AI client the ability to act as a financial analyst for your shop. You can stop guessing how much you made at the end of a shift. By connecting this to your preferred AI client, you can pull sales data, check how much you're losing to ingredient waste, and see exactly how rent and labor impact your bottom line. It pulls together revenue, COGS, and overhead to give you a real-time look at your daily performance. You can use it to spot trends in waste or see how a spike in ingredient prices affects your margins without opening a single spreadsheet.
