TROY, Mich. - s4story -- Restaurant Hotline Plus today announced the launch of RH+, a cloud-based restaurant performance intelligence application designed to help independent restaurant owners and operators gain weekly clarity on their business performance. The app is accessible at app.restauranthotlineplus.com. New members receive a setup code upon signup and can be inside the platform the same day.

RH+ was created by Gary Van Gundy, a restaurant industry professional with more than 40 years of experience spanning line-level operations to executive leadership.

"Good restaurants don't always fail because they're bad restaurants," said Van Gundy. "They fail because the operator ran out of visibility. I built RH+ because I believe operators deserve better information — and better information leads to better decisions."

How RH+ Works

Each week, operators enter key business metrics — including labor, revenue by channel, and operational costs — into the RH+ weekly input form. The platform analyzes the data and returns three deliverables: an Operational Score rated from 0 to 100, a ranked priority list, and a professional executive report suitable for management team review. The entire process takes under 15 minutes.

"The goal is prime cost clarity before Monday morning," Van Gundy said. "Operators should walk into the week knowing exactly where they stand and what to focus on — not finding out what went wrong three weeks later on a P&L."

What's Included

The RH+ platform includes weekly performance scoring, profitability analysis, historical trend tracking, action planning tools, multi-location support, mobile accessibility on any device, admin, and multi-unit viewing. The platform also includes a suite of interactive planning workbooks covering labor control, budget development, and manager accountability systems.
