Questions
Things people ask
What devices does this restaurant manager application support?
The application is designed specifically for iPadOS to give general managers a portable and accessible tool while walking the floor or checking the line.
How does the shift-open checklist function work?
Managers follow a digital list of required tasks to open the restaurant. They can mark items complete and upload photos of the prep line to verify readiness.
Can the application integrate with our existing point of sale system?
Yes. We can integrate the application with systems like Toast or Square to pull live sales data directly into the dashboard.
How is the labor versus sales metric calculated?
The app pulls live sales data from your point of sale and compares it against active clock-ins from scheduling software like 7shifts to show current labor percentages.
Where does the food cost dashboard get its data?
The dashboard connects to your back-of-house inventory management software such as Crunchtime or Restaurant365 to display current food cost metrics and variance.
Are the line-check photos stored for future review?
All uploaded photos are timestamped and stored securely in the cloud. Regional managers or owners can review these photos later to audit store compliance.
Does the application work if the internet connection drops?
The app includes offline support for the shift-open checklist and photo capture. The data syncs to the central database automatically once the iPad reconnects to Wi-Fi.
