principles:
  - name: Visibility
    description: >-
      Track spend by counting active locations and their service tier ($85 for
      up to two services, $100 for unlimited) on the monthly Checkmate invoice;
      Checkmate's consolidated reporting surface shows order volume per platform
      per location.
  - name: Allocation
    description: >-
      Attribute cost to each restaurant location and ordering platform using the
      location and ordering_platform dimensions, enabling per-brand and
      per-venue cost rollups for multi-unit and ghost-kitchen operators.
  - name: Optimization
    description: >-
      Right-size the per-location tier by consolidating low-volume ordering
      platforms, and avoid the unlimited tier where a location uses two or fewer
      services; renegotiate custom-quoted Direct Ordering and Reconcile add-ons
      against realized volume.
  - name: Accountability
    description: >-
      Month-to-month contracts with no setup fee let an operations owner add or
      remove locations as the footprint changes; review the location count each
      billing cycle against the active-location list.
