About Us

Big chains have teams of analysts making sure their menus make money. Independent restaurants don't. We built ProfitLens to change that. We speak the language of finance fluently, but we've chosen to translate it into plain English, so that every recommendation is clear and actionable, no finance degree required.

Built for Restaurants. Backed by Data.

Why We Built This

Most restaurant owners know their food is great - but don't have time to dig into the numbers. ProfitLens was built to do that work for you. One Excel file in, one actionable report out.

What Makes Us Different

Every report is hand-reviewed by a real analyst. No AI guesswork. Your numbers are checked, verified, and turned into a clear action plan with specific dollar amounts.

Meet the Founders

Sophie Zakariadze

Co-founder

Finance, retail, and consulting executive who began her career as Financial Director of a multi-brand perfumery group, then moved through commercial leadership into multi-country retail. Sophie has also co-founded and run her own fast-casual cafe, which taught her firsthand what it feels like to watch a busy week still close out short. Most recently General Manager of a fashion retail group with full P&L responsibility, and earlier headed merchandising, financial planning, and operations across 90+ stores in five countries. Beyond her corporate roles, she has spent close to a decade advising businesses on strategy and finance, including USAID-funded hospitality programs developed with the UN World Tourism Organization and Les Roches. She holds an MBA from Alliance Manchester Business School, United Kingdom. At ProfitLens, she leads product development, originating the concept, shaping the analytical framework, and building the software behind every report.
