Restaurants & Cafes

Restaurants, cafes, bars, food trucks. A razor-thin-margin business where 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) with no unified system
  • Negative Yelp or Google reviews go unnoticed for a week, and by then it's too late
  • Instagram posting eats 1-2 hours of the owner's day
  • Inventory tracking on the fly means 10-15% food waste
