LeakLedger — Restaurant Delivery Dispute & Payout Recovery Desk

Restaurant / hospitality operations — third-party delivery margin recovery (DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grubhub order-error dispute filing, payout-to-POS reconciliation, promo/fee audit) for multi-unit restaurant groups

Audience

Owners, CFOs, and controllers at 5-75-location QSR/fast-casual/pizza/wings/virtual-brand restaurant groups

Problem

Delivery platforms take back 2.5-3% of revenue through order-error charges and unreconciled payouts inside 14/30-day dispute windows — and most operators have no one whose job it is to watch any of it.

Offer

A done-for-you delivery-margin recovery desk: every eligible dispute filed inside the deadline, every payout reconciled weekly, a monthly Recovered-Dollars Statement — priced from what we recover, never hourly, starting with a free Delivery Leakage Scan.
