Location type

Full-service restaurants & bars

The operating core, plus everything a service floor and a bar need on the night.

Cashout

Close every shift and every day with the money accounted for.

  • Daily cashout by shift with reconciliation and deposit tracking
  • Verify & Lock the day — blocked until every shift is cashed out and every hour approved
  • Per-server daily resume: hours, invoices, net sales, tips and cash variance
  • BOH weekly tip pool that accumulates across the week, split by hours × skill level
  • Reconciliation flags that escalate by age so a data gap can’t hide

POS sales intelligence

Live sales on the floor, from your Auphan POS.

  • Net sales by venue, shift, category and daypart — updated through the service day
  • Your busiest server, top menu item and true covers before end of service
  • Average check per guest once OpenTable is connected
  • Product mix and best-sellers, with peak-hours and channel-mix reads

Menu Engineering

Know the margin and the popularity of every plate.

  • Menu items, recipes and transformations with plate cost
  • Margin-vs-popularity view to steer the menu
  • Recipe cost that updates as invoice prices move

Reservations & guest book

OpenTable, live — who’s on the book tonight and who they are.

  • OpenTable sync per brand: reserved, seated, walk-in, party size, VIP, allergies, celebrations
  • Tonight board with covers split by venue (auto-mapped from the POS)
  • “Who’s on the book”: returning vs first-time covers over the next 60 days
  • Reservations analytics: occupancy, demand heatmap, no-show and lead-time

Staff Performance

Coach on real numbers, fairly.

  • Per-server scorecard: sales/hr, average check, tip %, rank vs the team, weekly trend
  • Filter by role so you compare servers to servers, not to bussers
  • Contribution (sales kept after labor) and a one-click CSV export
  • A coaching watch-list that flags anyone drifting below the team
Available at every location

The operating core

Seven shared modules that power every restaurant, bar, counter and kitchen in your group.

Financials

Your true cash position, backed by QuickBooks — actuals, not estimates.

  • Live P&L, Cash Flow and Balance Sheet pulled from QuickBooks Online (CA & US)
  • Payables & Receivables aging — what you owe, what you’re owed, what’s overdue
  • Prime costs (food + labor) and a DAS / tax remittance countdown so you never miss the CRA
  • A closed-form cash-flow forecast projected from your real sales pace
  • Ask PULSE — a financial copilot that answers “how much can I safely spend?” from your live books

Analytics Board

Every number that drives the business, updated from live POS data.

  • Net sales by day, week, venue, shift and daypart, vs last week and last year
  • Average check — per check and per guest (from OpenTable covers)
  • Deletes & discounts: where margin is leaking, by server and reason
  • Staff Performance scorecards: sales per hour worked, contribution, tip %, ranked vs the team
  • OKRs vs group targets, plus daily “AI Insights” that flag what changed

HR & Scheduling

Build the schedule, approve the hours, cover the gaps, pay the team — in one place.

  • Drag-and-drop weekly schedule with live labor cost vs sales and an AI read of the week
  • Kiosk / phone time clock with photo capture, smart rounding and anti-phantom-hour guards
  • Coverage view + post-a-shift-as-open, with tap-to-claim links to qualified staff
  • Availability, time-off approvals, tip pooling (FOH + BOH weekly pool), payroll prep & period close
  • Onboarding / offboarding checklists, document e-signature, and a full audit log

Procurement

From order to invoice to food cost — no data entry.

  • Build orders and purchase orders from a managed supplier catalogue
  • AI invoice OCR reads every line item and matches it to your ingredients
  • Receiving, supplier price tracking, and ingredient / inventory management
  • Supplies & Assets registry (consumables, tableware, tools) with last price and breakage counts
  • Spending by category + a Food & Bev COGS budget tied to projected sales

Operations

Everything that keeps the doors open — on one daily command screen.

  • Operations dashboard: today’s checklists, open work orders, log book, maintenance due
  • Work orders with photos and a kanban board; a facilities / asset registry
  • Digital log book, task checklists and a Help Desk
  • SOP library with required read-acknowledgements and versioning
  • Second Brain — capture notes by voice or text, searchable across the location

Marketing

Turn POS and reservation data into repeat guests — without exposing wages or financials.

  • Guest Intelligence: lifetime value, VIPs, lapsed guests, spend tiers (from OpenTable)
  • Loyalty & retention campaigns by SMS and email, with real campaign ROI
  • Growth Signals: slow days, average-check gaps and guests to win back — each linked to where you act
  • Promotion results measured from live POS: redemptions, dollars discounted, net sales
  • Revenue-channel mix (dine-in vs delivery) and CRM sync to GoHighLevel

Food Management Console

One kitchen console for ordering, stock, recipes, production and food safety.

  • Supplier catalogue you can browse, edit and add to, feeding the whole ordering flow
  • Ordering, receiving and inventory in one place
  • Recipes and (for production kitchens) production planning
  • Food-safety logs and checks
  • Scoped to the active location; features adapt to the kitchen type
