When evaluating software costs, factor in your effective tax rate. A $1,020/year software expense is partially deductible — but Nexa at $279 once is a one-time deduction that eliminates the recurring expense entirely.
Whether you call it invoice management, a solution for jobs, or a invoicing system — most restaurantes pequeños in Bloomington stitch together Alegra, CONTPAQi, Bind ERP and other monthly services. That's $1,020/year in monthly software fees. Over the next 5 years at today's prices, the total damage is $5,100.
Nexa lets you own your tools. Your CRM, invoice management, calendar tool, jobs, time tracking, and financial tools — combined into one solution. A single action books a client. A single action generates an invoice. No bouncing between tools. No middleware. No per-connection charges. It's a one-time purchase — cut costs the moment you switch. For restaurantes pequeños in Bloomington weighing the switch, the 30-day money-back guarantee covers the migration window — you can run Nexa in parallel with your existing subscriptions, verify the workflow handles your real client load, and only cancel the monthly tools once you are confident the data and processes have settled in.
Prep starts at 7am. Lunch rush 12-3. Dinner 6-10. Staff of 3-8. Delivery apps take 30%. No idea what the real food cost percentage is.
That is the work Nexa is built around: the job, the client, the hours and the invoice live in one place, so the paperwork side of the day doesn't need a second shift.
Every one of those was bought once and earns its keep for years. Nexa is priced the same way: $279 once, and it keeps working whether business is busy or slow.

We build a restaurantero's guide the same way every time, and we'd rather you trust it than take it on faith. Nexa is our product, so the test we hold ourselves to is simple: a tool only "wins" a job here when it genuinely does that job better for a restaurantero — and where something free, open-source, or buy-once does it better, we say so and link you to it. Where Nexa falls short (payroll is the honest example), we name the alternative outright.
Found something out of date? Prices change and we don't catch every move the day it happens. This guide is published and maintained by the Nexa team; if a figure here is wrong, tell us and we'll fix it — getting it right matters more to us than the sale.
