What you do on paper every week, done automatically
We don't sell a huge management system you'll never use. We build the small tool that saves you the hours you're really losing.
It started out of our own need
Looking after twenty-five businesses, we ended up building our own tools: dashboards to see at a glance how each client is doing, reports that put themselves together, day-by-day follower tracking, alerts when a website goes down.
When some clients saw them, they asked for the same for their kitchen. And it turns out the work is the same: look at what's done by hand every week, and make it happen on its own.
Things that can be solved this way
Bookings and shifts
A dashboard where front of house sees the whole day, with no notebooks or crossed WhatsApp messages.
Recipe costing and prices
What each dish really costs, and what happens to the margin when your supplier puts prices up.
Staff and rotas
Rotas, hours worked and shift swaps, in one place the team can see.
Results dashboard
Everything happening on your social media, campaigns and website, on a single screen, updated automatically.
Automatic alerts
A message when the website goes down, when a bad review comes in or when a campaign's spend shoots up.
Whatever you can think of
If you do it by hand every week and it follows a rule, it can almost certainly be automated.
Small, and usable without a manual
No six-month projects. We start with the part that hurts most, get it running in a few weeks and expand it if it proves useful.
And we keep it simple on purpose: if a tool needs training, it won't get used in a restaurant. Big buttons, little text and it has to work on the front-of-house phone.
- We start with a single, specific problem
- It works on a phone, not just on the office computer
- No manual: if it needs explaining, it's badly made
- The data is yours and can be exported whenever you like
What people ask us
Doesn't my POS system already do this?
Sometimes it does, and then we tell you so and don't charge you anything to rebuild it. What we do is what no off-the-shelf software covers, which is usually exactly what you do differently.
How much does it cost?
It depends on the size. A simple dashboard is a few weeks' work and is quoted at a fixed price. We'd rather start with something small and let you judge it by using it.
What if it breaks?
We maintain it. And since the data is yours and exportable, you're not trapped if one day we stop working together.
What eats up most of your time?
Tell us. Sometimes it can be fixed with half an hour's work, and if so, we'll tell you.
