Same-day profit & loss tracker for small business
7 followers
Your POS shows revenue. Your accountant handles taxes. Neither tells you today's profit, the number that decides if a shop survives. Nouz is a same-day profit & loss tracker for small business owner-operators: cafés, restaurants, retail, salons, e-commerce. Log the day in ~60 seconds; nouz computes real profit after fees, cost of goods, variable costs, and a daily share of fixed overhead. Weekly and monthly trends catch a bad week before month-end. No spreadsheets, no accounting degree.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I'm Ibrahim, one of the founders of nouz.
This started from something I kept hearing from shop owners and kept feeling myself. If you run a café, a small retail store, or a salon, you know your sales to the cent. Your POS gives you that in real time. But ask a simpler question, did today actually make money?and almost nobody can answer it. You find out weeks later when the accountant sends the numbers, and by then it's too late to do anything about it.
That gap is what nouz closes. It's a same-day profit & loss tracker for small business owner-operators. Every evening you log the day in about 60 seconds, revenue split by cash and card, plus your costs and nouz shows you today's real profit after transaction fees, cost of goods, variable costs, and your daily share of fixed overhead. No spreadsheets, no accounting degree, no waiting for month-end.
We built it for the person carrying the risk: the owner behind the counter who deserves to know where they stand before they lock up. It's early, we're building this closely with real café and shop owners here in Vienna, so I'd genuinely value your feedback:
If you run a small business, what's the one number you check obsessively, and the one you wish you could actually see? If you've used QuickBooks, Xero, or a spreadsheet, what made it stick (or not) for daily use?

Thanks for taking a look 🙏
How does nouz pull in the cost of goods and fee data — do I have to enter that manually each time or can it sync with my existing POS and bank feeds?
@ouz85314115733 Straight answer: nouz doesn't sync with your POS or your bank feeds yet, it's manual entry by design. But "manual" here is light. The recurring things; tax rate, card-fee %, fixed costs, and your product costs are set up once, and nouz calculates fees, tax, COGS and net profit from those.
So you're not entering fee or cost-of-goods data each time. You enter the day's revenue (cash vs card, read off your Z-report) plus any one-off costs, and the rest is computed about a minute at close.
We skip integrations on purpose: no bank access to grant, and it works with every POS instead of a handful we'd build connectors for. That quick daily close is also what keeps the number honest and current.
how does it actually pull in the cost of goods and fees from my POS, or do I have to plug all that in manually every day
@aselk16731 Good question. No, you don't plug it all in every day. nouz doesn't pull from your POS; it calculates most of it from things you set once.
Fees: you set your card-fee % once (say 1.4%), and nouz works out the fee on every card sale automatically, you never type a fee. Same with your tax rate and your fixed costs (rent, wages): set once, applied to each day for you.
Cost of goods: if you add your products with their cost, nouz calculates COGS automatically from what you sold. Prefer to keep it simple? Just give a COGS % or a single amount for the day.
So the daily step is small: enter the day's revenue split cash vs card, straight off your POS's Z-report plus any one-off costs. A minute or two at close and the profit number's there.
It's manual on purpose, so it works with any POS - nothing to connect or break.
The decision to bake in a daily share of fixed overhead instead of just tracking variable costs is the kind of detail that shows you actually talked to shop owners. Most profit tools stop right where the hard part begins.
@sibel1151869 Thanks, that's the whole point. Rent and wages don't pause on a slow day, so nouz subtracts the day's share of them too. Otherwise "profit today" isn't honest, it's just variable-cost margin, which is how owners end up busy but broke.
