You know what you charge. Here’s what actually reaches you.
Profit Duck connects Square, your delivery apps and your bank to show how much each sales channel leaves after fees, promotions and processing, reconcile expected payouts against bank deposits, and flag what needs your attention each morning.
Built inside Increpeable (opens in a new tab), my Upper East Side crêpe shop, using more than 17,000 real orders.
Five spots. Six months free, then $49/month for as long as your subscription remains active. No card. About an hour to set up, and I do it with you.
Both bars use the same scale. Their lengths represent estimated post-deduction revenue. Fruitella sold in both channels from May 25, 2025 through August 6, 2026: 123 units across 107 DoorDash orders and 2,609 units at my counter. Prices shown are average item revenue per Fruitella over that period, not a fixed menu price. DoorDash reports deductions by order rather than by dish, so Profit Duck applies each channel’s effective deduction rate during that shared selling window to the item price. This estimates post-deduction revenue, not item profit. Using the same method, every item I sell in both channels produced lower estimated post-deduction revenue on DoorDash.
“Estimated after channel deductions” is before food, labor, packaging and overhead. It is not the profit on the dish, because Profit Duck does not know what your ingredients cost.
Square sees the sale. The apps see their deductions. Your bank sees the deposit.
No single source shows the whole path, so none of them can show what remained from a dish or channel after platform and payment deductions. Your register doesn’t have your bank. Your bank doesn’t have your menu. The delivery apps only report themselves.
Profit Duck connects the whole path. That is what makes the comparison above possible in one place.
| Channel | Restaurant received | Channel deductions |
|---|---|---|
| In store through Square | $95.78 | $4.22 |
| Uber Eats | $65.23 | $34.77 |
| Grubhub | $60.40 | $39.60 |
| DoorDash | $56.22 | $43.78 |
For every $100 in pre-tax menu sales, this is what reached my restaurant after channel deductions. Every channel covers the same period, May 1, 2025 through July 31, 2026. “Channel deductions” includes payment processing, platform commissions and merchant-funded promotions, plus anything else the channel withheld before paying me. Amounts are before food, labor, packaging and overhead.
Three things, and it does them every day
Keep more from delivery
Estimated post-deduction revenue by platform and item, forgotten promotions, effective channel rates as they change, and the delivery price needed to match an in-store sale.
Confirm you were actually paid
Compare each platform’s payout statements against actual bank deposits. Profit Duck surfaces unexplained gaps for you to investigate and document.
Avoid cash surprises
What’s due over the next two weeks, which recurring bills changed, your estimated sales-tax reserve, what a large repair would do to the weeks after it, and an alert on your Brief when the projection drops below a minimum balance you set.
What it found, and what that let me do
My effective Grubhub deductions rose from 28% in 2024 to 42% in 2026
I never caught it in an individual statement. Seeing the effective rate over time is what let me judge whether the channel was still worth serving.
More than $3,000 in merchant-funded promotions from December 2023 through August 2026
Buried in statements where I’d never see a total. Once they were named and totaled, I could decide which to keep and which to switch off.
A $137.88 February 2024 payout I could not match to a bank deposit
Profit Duck gave me the platform, amount and date I needed to investigate the gap and document the outcome.
Sunday is my busiest day. I’d been staffing around Friday.
Sunday and Saturday are my strongest days; Friday is only third. I had been staffing around Friday until the numbers showed me otherwise.
That list came out of one small crêpe shop. I had no idea what was sitting in mine until everything was in one place. Your restaurant may be hiding something completely different.

One sentence when you open it
“No tracked money issues need your attention today,” or “2 tracked money issues need your attention today,” with those two listed underneath. Most mornings you read one line and go run the restaurant.
Ask your numbers. Tap deeper.

Example questions, with Duckworth’s real answers (excerpted)
Why was Grubhub so expensive this month?
“Let’s break down exactly where Grubhub’s fees went this month (Aug 1–Aug 20, 2026), across 11 orders on $231.50 in gross sales … commission $44.50, delivery $21.05, processing $10.69, marketing $9.00. That’s a 36.8% all-in take rate on your gross sales — a steep cut.”Did any payouts not reach my bank?
“Good news — no open alerts are flagged right now. DoorDash is fully reconciled — every dollar arrived. GrubHub is verified with a tiny $12 gap, which is within normal rounding territory. Uber Eats is estimated only, meaning no verified payout file is on record — bringing one in would give you a clean picture there.”Which platform left me the most after deductions?
“Among the delivery platforms, Uber Eats held onto the most at $329 net (29% take-rate), edging out GrubHub ($293) and DoorDash ($284). DoorDash’s 45.6% combined take-rate is particularly steep relative to what it’s generating in volume. Worth keeping an eye on.”Show me revenue by weekday.
“Sundays are your strongest day at ~$396 on average … Saturday’s sample is only 3 days (one was marked non-operating), so that average is thinner than the rest.”What were my top-selling items this month?
“The Fruitella Crêpe is the clear star — 102 units sold and $1,058 in revenue, well ahead of everything else. Coffee punches above its weight in volume.”
On questions it supports, Duckworth can add a chart built from the same records as its written answer. Where a chart has bars, you can tap a category, item, platform or weekday to ask the next question without retyping it.
Charts use only figures returned by Profit Duck’s own reporting tools. Duckworth does not browse the web and does not change your business records, and the report pages stay the source of truth. Like any AI it can get something wrong, so the answer is written to be read without the chart, and I can disable Duckworth entirely for your account.
Built to read your data, not change it. And it stays yours.
Square and your bank connect through read-only integrations. You approve Square once on Square’s own screen, and your bank connects through Plaid. Profit Duck never sees or stores your bank credentials. Both connections are used only to read data, never to move money or change a record.
Delivery apps are different, and worth reading properly. Delivery platforms do not offer merchants a separate read-only login, so Profit Duck uses your access only to retrieve reports and never automates changes to your menu, your prices or an order. You type the password yourself, and it is never stored in Profit Duck’s database. When you connect Cloud Sync, your signed-in session is kept encrypted in a browser profile dedicated to your account, so later syncs can run without you. Disconnecting the platform revokes that access and deletes the profile from my servers. The privacy policy spells out exactly how that works.
During setup, a privacy switch blanks every dollar on screen so I can configure the account without seeing what you make.
It’s your data, not mine. Each restaurant’s sales, bank, menu and settings data are stored in an isolated account database, and you can download a complete backup whenever you want.
Six months free. Setup included. Then $49/month for as long as your subscription remains active.
I’m personally onboarding five founding restaurants, then pausing new signups while I build on what they tell me. Every founding restaurant gets direct access to me.
- Six months free. No card, and no trial that starts billing on its own.
- Then $49/month for as long as your subscription remains active. The standard price after the founding program is $77/month. The founding rate does not increase while your subscription remains active.
- I guide the setup with you live, in person or over video. About an hour. You approve Square, enter each delivery login and connect your bank through Plaid; I handle the configuration.
- You can take your data and go any time. Download a complete database backup at any time. Founding customers can also request spreadsheet exports at no charge. Nothing of yours gets sold.
- You steer what gets built next. Your feedback will directly shape what I prioritize and build next, and founding feedback goes into the money workflows above before anything else.
What it needs, and what it doesn’t do
- Square as your register. Toast, Clover and Lightspeed are not currently supported.
- A business checking account you’re willing to link read-only.
- At least one of DoorDash, Uber Eats or Grubhub.
- A New York location is required only for the sales-tax reserve. All other reporting is available to U.S. restaurants using the supported integrations.
- Recipe costing. It estimates food and labor outflows from your categorized bank transactions and compares them against a target you choose. It cannot tell you the cost of one crêpe, so it never claims to know the profit on a dish.
- Payroll, scheduling or inventory. It does not replace your POS, accounting, payroll, scheduling, inventory or tax systems.
- Invoice scanning or a QuickBooks sync.
