Overview

RestaurantMargin is operated by CodeAustral LLC. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you use our restaurant profitability calculator and guides. By using this site you agree to these practices.

Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly (email address at checkout, menu data entered into the calculator) and information collected automatically (browser type, pages visited, IP address, and usage analytics via Google Analytics). Menu data you enter into the free calculator is processed in your browser and not stored on our servers.

How We Use Your Information

  • Deliver paid guides and plans purchased via Stripe
  • Send purchase receipts and product access emails
  • Analyze usage patterns to improve calculator accuracy
  • Prevent fraud and protect the integrity of the service

Payments

Payments are processed by Stripe, Inc. We do not store your credit card or banking details on our servers. Upon successful payment, we receive only a confirmation from Stripe and your email address to deliver your purchase. Stripe's privacy policy applies to payment data: stripe.com/privacy.

Cookies and Analytics

We use essential cookies for site functionality and analytics cookies (Google Analytics) to understand how operators use the calculator and guides. You can disable analytics cookies through your browser settings without affecting the calculator or content access.
