The real problems, worst first

The one that costs you most: you can't see the financial health of your restaurants in real time. Money leaks, you find out weeks later. Everything below flows from that.

01

No live view of the business

Log into each POS one by one, or wait for month-end.

02

Labor cost drifts

One spot at 38%, another at 27%. You see it after payroll.

03

Food cost is a mystery

Margins tighten, but which location? Which dish? No idea.

04

You hear about it too late

The slow night, the 86'd dish. Always after the shift.

05

You have to be there to know anything

With three or four restaurants, most of your business runs where you can't see it.

What Restobrain does
Puts every restaurant on one live screen, so you can read the financial health of the whole business at a glance. Sales, covers, tips, labor, and anything slipping, updated all day, from anywhere.

All at once

Read your whole business in ten seconds, not an afternoon.

Same day

Catch a slow night while you can still do something about it.

From anywhere

It's on your phone. Know where things stand on a day off.

Built for operators of 2 to 10 restaurants.
Big enough to feel the pain, not big enough for a corporate analytics team.

Sales dip · Mirra

Mirra is down 22% vs last Friday

43 covers by 2 PM, usually 55 by now. Worth a quick call to the floor to see what's going on.

Labor is a quarter to a third of every dollar you take in, so this is the number that decides whether a busy night was actually profitable. Once your payroll is connected, it sits right here, live.
The Coach House
27.4%
Lilac Tiger
30.1%
Mirra
38.6%
Mirra is running hot. It's slow today but staffed for a normal one, so labor is eating 39 cents of every dollar against a healthy target near 30. That gap is profit walking out the door, and this is the view that lets you catch it during the shift instead of at month-end.
Week ahead · all restaurants

What next week looks like.

Forecasts built from your own sales history, the day of week, the weather, and what's happening nearby. So you staff and prep for the night you're actually going to have.

A later stage. This needs a few months of your sales data before the forecasts are trustworthy. It's where the product stops just reporting the past and starts helping you plan. Tap a day to see the detail.

heaviest at The Coach House and Lilac Tiger
Add a server at The Coach House and one at Lilac Tiger. Both are forecast well above a normal Saturday. A draft schedule change is waiting in the Drafts tab.
Order 15 to 20% more of your weekend staples. Last street-fair Saturday you ran out of two dishes by 8 PM. The supplier order is drafted.
Mirra stays as normal. The street fair is nowhere near Bucktown, so no bump expected there. No action needed.
Tuesday is your soft spot, every week
Across all three restaurants, Tuesday runs about 40% of a Friday. Mirra's Tuesday dinner is the weakest single service you have. It's the same story most weeks, which makes it the obvious place to test a midweek offer.
Avg Tuesday (all 3)$3,900
Avg Friday (all 3)$9,800
Rain is coming Thursday
Mirra leans on its patio for about a third of its covers. On the last few rainy Thursdays it ran roughly 28% below a dry one. Worth trimming a shift and pulling patio prep early rather than getting caught overstaffed.

Drafts · waiting for you

Things it already wrote for you.

When Restobrain spots something that needs doing, it doesn't just flag it. It drafts the message or the order and waits. You read it, then approve, edit, or skip. Nothing happens without your say-so.

The furthest-out piece. This is where Restobrain goes from telling you what's happening to taking the busywork off your plate. It only makes sense once the data and forecasts underneath it are solid. Try approving one.
Before Saturday · Schedule · The Coach House + Lilac Tiger

Add two servers for Saturday

Saturday is forecast about 22% above a normal one because of the street fair. Both Wicker Park restaurants are short a server for that volume. Two people who've asked for more hours are free.

Schedule change · this Saturday dinnerThe Coach House: add 1 server, 5 to 11 PM Lilac Tiger: add 1 server, 5 to 11 PM Both would be offered to staff who requested more hours this week, and neither goes into overtime. They'll be notified through the scheduling system once you approve.

Reply to yesterday's 4-star review

A guest left a warm 4-star review but mentioned a slow lunch. Replying within a couple of days helps your rating and shows other diners you're paying attention. Here's a reply in your voice.

Reply to "Great food, slow lunch" · 4 starsThank you for the kind words about the food, and for the honest note on the wait. We were a server short that day and it showed. We've adjusted the lunch schedule since. Come back soon and let us make it right.

What's running low, where?

Stock levels across every restaurant, with reorder alerts before you run out mid-service.

Later stage. This is more complex because it needs supplier data and daily usage rates. Best built once you've proven the core product and know exactly how each restaurant tracks stock. Here's what it would look like.
