Questions

Which programs does it work with?
Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets (upload the file to Google Drive), Apple Numbers and LibreOffice. The printables are PDFs.
How do I receive it?
Right after payment you are taken to your download page. Download the ZIP file and keep it — it is yours to use without an account.
Where do the numbers come from?
Only from your entries: quantity × the purchase price you enter per item. The workbook does not invent prices or quantities.
Can I use it in several restaurants?
The licence covers your own business. For several locations of the same business, that is fine. Please do not resell or share it.
