Cornerstone Capital & Consulting

Scale it. Automate it.
Turn it around.

Operating tools and templates for independent and multi-unit owner-operators, built from decades of multi-unit retail operating experience. Seventy-one tools, each a single file that runs in your browser and keeps your data on your machine: no account, no upload, no subscription.

Where to start

Seven kinds of work in a multi-unit business. Some of it is a problem to fix, some of it is an opportunity to take. Start with whichever one is live for you now.
