Restaurant AI Manager
Restaurant AI Manager watches every order, delivery, invoice, count and sale. Each morning it tells you, in dollars, what is costing you money — and drafts the fix for you to approve.

From the team behind Open Pantry — ordering for 5,000+ venues
Four leaks every kitchen knows — and the month-end food cost that arrives too late to fix any of them.
The live demo
Pick your role and you are in — a private copy of Harbour & Vine, a demo bistro, café and production kitchen, with a guide that shows you around by voice or chat. No sign-up, nothing to install.
Orders, deliveries, prep and costing
What you’ll see:
Works on a phone too. Nothing in the demo is real, and nothing is sent anywhere.
No new habits for your suppliers, and very few for your team.
Your POS, your accounting, and last month’s supplier invoices. Your suppliers, products and prices build themselves. Suppliers don’t need to join.
Orders, deliveries, invoices, counts, waste and POS sales are matched for you — ordered against received against invoiced, sold against used.
Each morning: what changed, what it costs you in dollars, and a drafted fix — an order, a credit request, a price change. Nothing goes out until you press Send.
The basics take an afternoon. Your first full food-cost breakdown comes after a full week and a stocktake.
Everything below is in the live demo — go and press the buttons.
Every morning
The few things costing you the most this week, ranked in dollars — a drink pouring under target, waste that jumped, a price that rose — each with the reason and a one-tap fix.
Ordering
Forecast use from your sales, bookings and functions, minus what’s on hand and on order, rounded up to packs — for every supplier, timed to their delivery days.
Deliveries & invoices
Tick deliveries off at the door on a phone. What you ordered, what arrived and what you were invoiced are matched line by line, and the gap is drafted as a credit request for you to send.
Menu & GP
Every dish’s cost, food cost % and weekly GP, live from your invoices and POS sales. When GP slips, it’s split into price rises, waste, yield and count error — in dollars that add up.
On the floor
Prep lists by station from the day’s forecast and functions, rounded to your batch sizes. Stock counts on a phone in shelf order — cartons, inners, singles and open bottles on one line.
Venues side by side, transfers between them, approvals and budgets, and a production kitchen your venues order from like any other supplier. Each venue is billed on its own, so you add them as you go. Multi-venue management →
One price per venue, every part included. Read how each one works.
Your name is on the orders and the books, so nothing happens without you.
Orders, credit requests and price changes wait for a person to press Send.
High, Check or Unsure on every suggestion, with the reason one tap away.
Every change is logged — who, what and when — and what the AI did can be undone.
Chefs see food cost, not wages. Floor staff see stock, not prices. Unlimited staff logins.
