Restaurants & Cafes

Restaurants, cafes, bars, food trucks. A razor-thin margin business — every point of efficiency affects survival. Online presence is everything: Yelp, Google, and Instagram drive your foot traffic.

What slows growth

  • Reservations come in through 4 channels (phone, OpenTable, website form, Instagram DM) — no unified system
  • Negative Yelp or Google reviews go unnoticed for a week — by then it's too late
  • Instagram posting eats 1–2 hours of the owner's day
  • Inventory tracking on the fly — 10–15% food waste
